Lost all faith and a word of warning to other new members

[Ads gtir]

If anyone is thinking of buying used parts please be aware of the following,
1. Don't pay full price unless the buyer has actually tested the part - don't take there word no matter what !!!
2. If they say they are very busy then try and look else where for the part you need.

Anyone needs any advice or help when buying used parts then drop us a pm and I'll do my best to help you, thanks

didnt you have a issue with a second hand gearbox? im guessing it wasnt resolved

 

[Dangerous Dave]

Erm I've not had the time ask afew of the members on here! 1 lad knows how busy I've been and has been waiting for parts for a month (luckily he understands and knew before payment was sent!)

also where does it leave me? I bought the box in good faith from a well respected member on here I also told you that I hadn't tested it or even removed it from the box it was delivered in! You knew all this before you bought the box and you was also happy with that! At the time there was no company so NO warranty was ever given or even spoke about! The problem is you took 2-3weeks to get back to me and say it was damaged how do I know it wasn't done in that time scale? Like I said in the text I was willing to give you £100 back for the box but I am busy and believe it or not I don't sit down on the computer much (and you need to be on a computer to send funds to a new payee) 90% of the time I'm on the phone.

And just to add you didn't pay full price for it!

I don't know if this thread is going to get out of hand. Would you mind keeping it direct between you until resolved. Friendly suggestion from experience, posting on the open forum can fan the flames making a resolution more difficult.

Don't think there is going to be a resolution mate, but I see your point, thanks

Your being given every lame excuse under the sun.
He got plenty of time post when he wants but basically he don't want a 5hit box back.
Thought he was finding you a replacement from last topic discussion !
You paid good money, I only pay £100 for a box unless I split it for inspection, most are rough these days & in the uk things are even worse ...

 

[jay1]

give bob a call mate, he will have you sorted out in no time!! i had 1 issue with a part i got off him, called him up, was very appologetic and sent me another item out straight away, next day delivery too. reli nice guy to deal with aswell, any issues he is more than happy to talk ya through it to!

 

[Empty Pockets]

Got to agree with the op , i'd want all my money back, maybe the long term member you bought it off will refund you, if not, you're the one buying, selling and making profit from doing so, so when it goes wrong the loss should be yours also , which it inevitably will at some point when trading second hand parts, as you're selling stuff which you can't know works as you've never used it.

Dave, for the sake of your reputation i'd just give the man his money back, it's only right, plus from an outsider looking in, this looks bad on you in my opinion.

Do the right thing, and then go and have a word with the person you got the box off.

 

[jay1]

well said, completely agree

 

[campbellju]

To keep things going in the cordial tone that everyone is using I'll close this thread whilst we're ahead and leave it to Dave and Ads to resolve.

I just want to avoid one post starting a flame war and upsetting anyone/everyone.

Cheers,
Jim
