bought a digi box for freeview as a present for the girlfriends birthday, anyway it arrived quickly, got it and there is no wires with it although stated on the ad,
e-mailed the seller and got this;
Hi
Soooo sorry about the mix up. My wife placed the ad and didnt realise we didnt have the wires. Can we offer you a refund of half the amount paid?
Let me know how you feel about this
Sorry again
Dunno what to do? shouldn't be too hard finding a scart cable but not sure about the power cord, do i send it back and get a full refund, (remember i'll have to cost it which will cost about 6 quid) or accept the offer and try and hunt down the cables?!
Her Birthday is on Tuesday.
this is the power plug thing, reckon i'll be able to find one?

You paid 24 quid for a digibox off ebay
Do you not have an asda or tesco or any other shop for that matter close by?

You were robbed though.
Most of the boxes use exactly the same stuff inside and it would have come with all necessary cables and been brand new.
