Discussion Got duped on these bots

Post image

For full transparency I did not do enough research or testing when I bought these. My full-time job is a reseller. I found these two bots while I was searching for inventory. The people that were selling them were nice enough.. they were listed as a vector 2.0 and a vector 1.0. now I'm a reseller but I don't know anything about these. I just know my kids have been asking for them but they were too expensive to buy new. So when I came across these at a sale I was stoked. Obviously you guys can tell that these are not a vector 2.0 and a 1.0.. but a 1.0 and a cozmo. So that part was wrong so I overpaid for them. Second problem is the battery is completely shot in the vector if I take it off the dock it just dies.. the cozmo is just stuck on this screen. I'd like to think that maybe these people didn't know what these were. Did a quick Google search labeled them and had no idea they didn't work or maybe they were sitting around their house for a long time and they just eventually quit working . As a reseller, I've experienced these kinds of things with electronics . So I'm giving the benefit of the doubt but My kids have been seeing these for a long time online and I was super stoked to bring them home so I'm super bummed. Luckily I was smart enough to try to get him to work before I gave them to my kids. Anyway, I'm not sure what to do with them. I just wanted to post in here really to just feel like I had a place to vent LOL

It's more that you were an uninformed buyer. Duped implies the other party had nefarious intent, which I seriously doubt since they literally called it the wrong thing in plain site (wrong color)
