Marknoir, he is not necessarily an a-holes. If I sell you a cartridge, you mount it and lower to a record then in my mind you own it and I would not take money back. Cartridges are the subjects of personal hygiene. You do not return your underwear, condoms or dental floss to store after you used them, do you? The very same are with cartridges and do not forget that the guy who sold it to you very much know what he was selling to you.
A few years back I had a conflict with a very famous Japanese cartridges manufacturer. They sold to me a brand new cartridge but I returned it only because I recognized masks of the cartridge’s pins. According to me: if a cartridge’s ever was connected by pin’s clips then it is used cartridge. The president f the company personally wrote me a letter assuring me that the cartridge was new and that the marks on the pins are technological. Nevertheless, if I see any signs of marking on pins of any dust in the cantilever channel then I the cartridge is considered by me as “used”.
Regarding the price. If you are in Russia then get your Japanese needle in Japan. The US’s prices are twice of what they are on the Tokyo streets and I would not use them as reference…
