Bought as a gift for my husband's birthday. When received it initially looks okay until you actually start to examine the product.  It came with the black ink scratched off either from poor printing onto the metal or from being scratched by its case that it is held in.  The handle and its frame seemed sturdy and pretty strong and felt good in the hand.  The engravings were also a nice touch.  Although, the product was not what I expected and wasn't pleased with the overall quality of the product to give as a gift, the seller was nice enough to refund my money, but it seemed to take a little while. Thank you seller I may shop with you in the future if I find other items.

The print quality is poor. In fact, I suspect it's ink jet printed. The ink of the text and photo's bleeds if it gets wet and the ink rubs off on your fingers. This seems very cheap and strange.

The first package didn't arrive, so when the second package was sent and received the black ink didn't even work. It only prints in alternating rows with ink, then no ink.

My black Waterman ink arrived today and the product packaging was torn and retaped (it looked like a couple of times). This made me wonder if this was a previously returned bottle of ink? Additionally, I began to wonder if it actually was genuine Waterman ink? It ink seemed to write fine, though it was a little wetter than I expected. I compared it to my black Sailor, J.Herbin, Sheaffer, and Pelikan inks. I certainly wasn't as impressed with the Waterman ink as I thought I would be and the product packaging made me seriously question if this was a watered down bottle someone returned and the company re-sold to me.

The black ink didn't work correctly. The printer kept saying it was out of ink. I would take it out and put it back in and it would work for a few pages and then do the same thing. I finally had to buy another cartridge.

came with a few spots of the black paint rubbed off, and the white plastic showing through.  Came in time and I used magic marker to cover the scuff, but for the price it was disappointing

I thought this product was a God send.  It was inexpensive, came quickly and worked.

I have just put in the black ink so far.  After 3 weeks, the print was smudged and very light.  Figured it was some bad ink, live and learn.  However, I took the black ink cartridge out, put it back in the printer, and use the clean function, and the print is a good as new.

Was the glitch ink related?  I don't know, but in the two previous Brother's Original Cartridges, I never had this problem once.  So I reserve judgment until I use it longer.  For the price you can not go really wrong, but I guess in theory it could mess up something in the printer.  For me its worth the risk.

I received this light bar on 04/13/17 and was so excited until I opened it. The first thing I noticed was black sharpie. There is over 10 blemishes/scratches that had been covered up by a black sharpie. It makes me think that this was a recently returned product or a poorly manufactured. Regardless, someone knew the defects were there and tried to cover them up. Makes me wonder what else they are trying to cover up. Still don't know if I should return it or not, due to it being a hassle.

By the way, this is my first ever review and I know the light bar will probably end up getting scratches down the roadI will be adding pictures later today.

There's a lot oxidation on the both rubber rings, which is not included in the description. The body got a lot scratch down to the metal body, which is annoying. I would say it's good condition not very good condition.

These came with black ink smeared all over them - like they were packaged before the ink had dried. Highly disappointed.

3 out of the first five cartridges for my printer didn't work,  was able to take 2 out of the next set to work, so it looks like it is hit or miss. But the biggest problem for me was one of the cartridges leaked or was packaged this way, ink got on the bottom where I couldn't see until it was picked up. I got black and blue ink all over my hands, on my shirt( which is ruined) and on my computer desk. I understand some ink can escape, but this ink was on the outside of the package and on the bottom on the packaging where it couldn't be seen. Wear gloves if you buy these cartridges, myself I wouldn't recommend them or to anyone else. But I have gotten 5 to work, for how long, I don't know?

Noticed a very strange, unpleasant odor from the ink on everything that I printed out but tried to ignore it considering that it's a "refurbished"/cheaper item. After about 50 pages printed, my printer stopped working giving the error message "printer cartilage problem." Printer works fine when I take out the black cartridge, but once I put it back it, it starts flashing the error message. I know better than to ever these types of ink cartridges from third party sellers now!

I got the plastic metallic grey backing so that my phone cases will fit my phone because I have the leather back originally because it was the only one left at Sprint. When I received this in the mail I was very excited but it's scratched like it's been used before and not very well taken care of.

I didn't appreciate the black marking on side of book; it was advertised as new and as this was a gift the marking makes it look like I bought it at a clearance place somewhere...or that it was used.

Came with a rip on the side and finger prints on it that must have rubbed off the ink when it was wet. Not sure why there are finger prints on it. But they are permanent.
