My standpoint - ignorance is not a defense. If you really had no idea how bad it was, then you should have given him a refund. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craai Posted September 5, 2018 Share I always wonder why someone would sell "on behalf of someone else". Is it because a) Their friend does not own a PC/smartphoneb) Friend was born without hands and can't typec) It's an easy cop-out when the sale goes south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for replying and stating your side of the story, I am sure lots will have questions. My only advice for the future, never offer someone to sell on their behalf, there has been a number of cases where it resulted in unhappiness as the money went to the original owner and you as the selling agent is left with an unhappy buyer and reputational damage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think you need to be a bike mechanic to discern between "good condition" and "Oh my goodness, it fell off a truck". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirkitech Posted September 5, 2018 Share But Mr Funk you then build up bikes in spare time?!?!? that is what you told me when we had dealingsoh snap... things are not looking good as more content gets revealed. I can only imagine in such situations where something is really sold on behalf of a friend, that said friend says "no, I'm not giving a refund", but then the seller assumed the responsibility of the sale and should take the discredit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr funk do the right thing - if not I would surmise it to be your last sale. You know a lot more about bikes than you say and you are selling it for your own gain.
