I've bought items from the aforementioned seller before and never had a problem with them.
That is not only possible but likely..... However any seller that does enough volume in anything, not just model RR gear, is bound to have a glitch once in a while, that is normal. I have a couple or so other (old) locos made in China and Hong Kong with no problems like this DL-109 had. What I consider important is what the seller does WHEN there is a problem.
I had long considered buying ConCor was a fairly SAFE buy (unless it was really really old and worn out. IMO and just speculating here, the seller might have also considered ConCor a safe item to sell w/o actually testing. To me the BIGger issue was the claim they tested it and "RANS GOOD" when in fact it had a mfg defect. The defect itself was not the sellers fault, that was a QC issue of ConCor and/or who made it for ConCor.
