MrJacques Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Not right of them to back out of the deal like that, but if they are offering a full refund consider taking it. Doesn't sound like it's worth the hassle of fighting for it... FrancoisC 1
rouxtjie Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I've just had a word with the guys mom. He is under 21 but not far off. She is throwing it in my face that she didn't give him permission but in speaking to his Aunt who owns the courier company as well as a Whatsapp message from him (saying that someone did offer more for the bike) I know they have found a buyer who has agreed to pay more. My gripe is that all of this has happened after it was negotiated and paid for. They will not even allow me to arrange my own courier. Is this grounds for theft if I have paid and they will not send (regardless of his age). Thanks GuysOh, and the advert link ishttp://www.thehubsa....axis-road-bike/Go rate him as a seller right now....bad form from the young'un...hope mommy can bail him out for the rest of this life.

Cellar Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 http://www.thehubsa....axis-road-bike/ You got a pic for us Wayne? I'm just curious, cause that seems like a really good deal.
rouxtjie Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Also report to Admin or Mods....we don't need this on thehub. FrancoisC, Gandalf, DIPSLICK and 2 others 5
MuddyMike Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Lay a charge of theft / fraud. Can't just back out like that.
awesme Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I agree, get someone from the local cop shop to listed to what happened and then go make a visit. G Ish .. he laid out the terms and you accepted .... in fact he asks that the buyer please help him out.... would like to know the full story behind the story why it was an urgent sale. 21 years old and still answering to mommy .... not cool! Sorry Wayne R... seems like you are getting shafted, it would be interesting to see if their attitude changes if you threaten to report this as stolen to the police.
Meezo Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 You got a pic for us Wayne? I'm just curious, cause that seems like a really good deal. 6spd ? old bike no? 1cm dent, will surely cause a drop in price. still a good deal, but not like open for all to see
scotty Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Unethical for sure and flies in the face of good business practice , but how is it theft if the seller is returning the money paid.
Wayne R Posted January 28, 2014 Author Posted January 28, 2014 I sent his mom a message saying that I will arrange a collection at my cost or lay a charge against him. She kakked me out and told me not to threaten her. She said that I went into a deal knowing he was a minor. I did not know this. Nowhere on his Hub profile or on his Whatsapp does it give his age. Feeling properly shafted here.
Face Plant Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 why not just accept your money back and look for another deal? end of problem, its not like they took your money and dont want to give it back! i would rate him negatively, take back your money, smile and wave and move on LOOK695, GLuvsMtb, Meezo and 8 others 11

Thanks GuysOh, and the advert link ishttp://www.thehubsa....axis-road-bike/ I whatsapp'd the seller on this ad too (27 Jan) wanting to buy it. His response was: "Yes ! Sorry boet the bikes already been paid for hey ! Sorry man !" Pity that the mom is getting involved and making his name p00, as my brief dealings with him seemed all legit - that was just after you posted your SOLD comment on the ad, so I can only assume you and him came to agreement.

All the spare parts that I did'nt use were going to a another bike I was going to give to a friend who cant afford a bike but wants to build himself a cheapie.It was going to save me money and a heck load of time to go and find all the individual parts fabes 1
Flowta Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 That's why I'm asking... Didn't know Axis was around when they had 6 speed bikes What was the agreed selling price? Cellar 1
