[Closed] Would you accept £10 to be silenced? (classifieds feedback).

Bit of wear on those brakes.

Maybe the seller slammed them into his stem?

But is that even a pic of the actual brakes Jimmy bought? That bit don't seem clear.

Any pics of the rest of the brakes?

Fred. Bloke's been ripped off. Go stroke the ego elsewhere eh?

Heh! Like [i]you[/i] can tell [i]me[/i] what to do! 😆

I'm still actually interested in the legal positions of both parties in this sort of situation actually. Got anything constructive to say about that, or have you come on here just to stroke my ego for me?

Whatever. After all, STW is all about you, innit?

Bye...

You need to find a GOOD seller..

I sold a roadie last week. Bloke recieved it and it's damaged in transit. Even before he'd emailed me pics, i'd given him a full refucnd, so am currently out of pocket while i claim it back from the courier.

When you buy goods from a private individual, you don't have the same rights as when buying from a trader. The legal principle of caveat emptor or "buyer beware" operates. You have no rights to expect goods to be of a satisfactory quality or fit for their purpose, [b]so you should check goods thoroughly before you buy them[/b]. However, the law does say that even private sellers shouldn't misrepresent goods to you. So if something has been misdescribed, you might have a claim. Seek further advice if necessary.

Good christ, are we still going? How many posts does it take for everyone to say the same thing?

Do we know if realman posts on other forums? It might be good to post this link on other forums, save him doing the same again to another unlucky buyer. I used to enjoy rm's posts, but shame he appears to be a scumbag. I hope he does the decent thing for the sellers sake.

Perhaps people are hoping that keeping the thread in sight with most people hoping rm does the right thing, might just help nudge him in the right direction to sort the buyer out. Or we could just accept that ripping folk off is fine on the classifieds.

Fred et al...

The buyer has a claim insofar as the seller has misrepresented the goods. The description is vague but imo def states the brakes were in better nick than they actually are. The buyer's loss is prob the difference in value.

If he was a Real Man, then he'd keep the money and tell the OP to **** off. Only a pussy would give him a refund. I'm counting on you RM!

😆

But how feasible is this, in 'real life'?

I imagine ittud be really quite difficult to sort things out in situations like this, as it often comes down to one person's onion over another.

I once sold a medical centriguge on Ebay, stating that it 'needed repair'. Was as honest as possible, wazunt trying to rip anyone off, wooduv bin happy with a fiver tbh.

Bloke who bought it also bought the fully working one I was also selling, then comes back with negative feedback cos he felt it were 'item not as described'. It wooduv bin impossible to be any more honest about the thing really.

I offered him a full refund, apologised that it wazunt what he wanted, etc, but he preferred being an arsey knob instead, and left the only bit of negative feedback I've ever had. Which was unfair and it's not possible for me to remove.

So, if things come down to mere onions, who arbitrates proceedings in such cases?

who arbitrates proceedings in [s]such cases[/s] this case?

peers

Of the Realm?

... oh

Of the Realm?

Our peers..

Peers of the realm of STW.. one or more of whom may or may not be Peers of the Realm and or Piers Morgan..

Why is Fred getting a slagging in the tags?

but he preferred being an arsey knob instead,

so many punchlines 😉

Why is Fred getting a slagging in the tags?

I thought that as well - seems a bit much TBH.

Why is Fred getting a slagging in the tags?

For daring to have an onion that differs from that of Little England, most probably. It's usually the case. That, and folk aren't actually capable of engaging in any form of polite discussion. Still, I mussunt be too hard on the Hard of Thinking I spose...

They help enhance my ego though, it's 'attention', innit? 😀

I love the irony of people making statements about my ego, yet actually polishing it even further. 😆

They are against forum rules however, so I expect those who posted them will be getting warnings/bans. 😉

(£10 might not be enough to cover the risk though) i`ve got some money,and a couple of dogs if need be 😐

I think we should get back to the plot, the op's issue has been ignored, take your moderator discussion elsewhere. Realman, please correct your mistake.

Now then, now then.....

WTF ?

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!

etc.

Eh?

get in here while its still warm 🙂

Deja vu?

*shakes head*

bloody hell ! [u]Massive[/u] deja vu just then

<is cross with DS>

Again?

Is this back to the future?

Edit : i can't be bothered anymore

WOW!
