description made by the seller is important,but in this case how can one actually differentiate the meaning of 95% and 80% scratchless?do you actually measure every square inch of the phone and count the amount of scratchess?it's actually debatable but however,our mr.viking SHOULD have highlighted the fact that a HUGE scratch existed,and imo describing it as 95% is kinda dishonest,not done in good faith.with his HUGE experience(all the bragging bout his tradelist)he has no excuse to NOT know what is actually 80% and 95%.this issue is subjective and can only be valued among frequent traders who use this percentage figures to describe the phone's appearances.i feel majority will agree with the agrieved party that the condition is NOT 95%. as said.someone like me who's sold quite a huge number of phones together with all the other sellers here can tell what's a 95% condtion and a 80% condition..it's tricky,like describing how fat is someone,or as the proverb says beauty is in the eye of the beholder.put it this way:

1:the description is actually intended to be a contractual term which BOTH parties especially the buyer intended it to be...
2:viking INDUCED the agrieved guy to buy it knowing he's description is not true..this is a case of misrepresentation.in laymen terms,TIPU.
3:threadstarter,just bring it to the CONSUMERS TRIBUNAL,only rm5 to make a claim.if u bring this to court and sue him,u can only sue for a new housing,and what will the legal fees cost?easily four figure.

ps:threadstarter,the other day i bought a nokia8850 from mr b.*.*(safetrader,5 star member.store owner?),via post,claimed it was scratchless and guess what?the phone lookedl like shit.screwed him up,and he refunded me half the price back for a new housing as the phone was working well.
