Before my shenanigans with G&G carts (see previous post), I tried to get some OA100's. A deal on Ebay from Abacus UK 24/7 looked good; 24 OA100 carts for about 1 each. The picture on the listing showed (and still does on all their listings) OA100 boxes. As it seemed too good to be true, I e-mailed them for confirmation; the reply came back 'yes they are OA100 carts'.
They weren't. When they arrived, they were of a nameless brand, in red boxes, except for the three green, and three red, which were indeed OA100. I am prepared to believe they used to have OA100 (hence they still have the slow moving red and green), which is what they said when I complained; 'but our supplier has changed the boxes; I think it's the same ink though..'
Abacus 24/7 are showing OA100 on Ebay, and Amazon (Actually named as OA100, not just images) in both the US and UK.
Has anybody else had this problem? Do we know the provenance of the 'red box' carts??
Seems like downright misrepresentation to me..
I think I might be thinking of refilling afterall..
