Edge_Design Posted September 5, 2018 Share I have tried on numerous occasions to get hold of the guy but with no luck. If it was my personal bike and if I was aware of what the buyer listed then I would either refund or give a portion to replace. however it was not my bike. But then that applies to all of your ads so no-one can trust any of them because they rely on you "getting hold of the guy"? If he's that dishonest and is messing you around after you did him such a generous favour then post his details on here and let's see if the hub can track him down... It will benefit you - no point in dragging your good name through the mud on his behalf (he sounds like a bit of a d***) Skylark, Veebee, Dirkitech and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJ Posted September 5, 2018 Share Me thinks Joe Funk is done. Op should give him a negative rating, and then as a comment, paste the link to this thread. People will scatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne pudding Mol Posted September 5, 2018 Share I don't have a gazzilion posts and have bought a sold quite a bit recently with success - sadly for my bank account more purchases than sales - I offer anyone I sell to a money back guarantee - I don't want someone to think I tried to rip them off, I couldn't sleep. Some people just don't give a cr@p clearly. Seems like the OP tried to sort it out, seller doesn't care, OP made the best out of a bad situation The Bike Vendor, Spoke101, Kalahari Vegmot and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanievb Posted September 5, 2018 Share Second hand goods fall under CPA also, see my response above , seller does this to make money often (250 odd adverts) … so might get interpreted as bussiness... maybe you should read and consider the Act as a WHOLE and not just the snippets you find quoted by journalists DieselnDust and Kalahari Vegmot 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karman de Lange Posted September 5, 2018 Share maybe you should read and consider the Act as a WHOLE and not just the snippets you find quoted by journalists done that , well hell lot of it.. but Happy to be proven wrong … as said.. its my interpretation that the seller sells goods as a bussiness, which then falls under CPA .

My experience of CPA is its like most things in south africa a first world rolls royce system driven by a 3rd world country mentality try get any redress in this country under CPA not many reports of good things and CPA Harryn, Karman de Lange and fanievb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darryllk 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 Neither of the above...I believe its a means and a way to get potential buyers more comfortable in making a deal and communicating with someone who has plenty of positive ratings compared to some with zero/or worst case scenario just negative ratings! With that said...NO ONE CAN BE TRUSTED BASED ON THIS THREAD Thanks Joe Funk...you Fnuk up! The Bike Vendor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Steer Posted September 5, 2018 Share I took the chance with my money buying from him, I asked him for a refund and he refused. I then asked him if he could pay me back R 3 400, making the buying price R 15 000 ( I paid R 18 400 ). That way I could spend some money one the bike, he refused. I finally finished fixing up the bike today so thought I would post so that people can know, I did not post to get any money back. I have made peace with what happened.Whatever boet... we don't care, we want blood! OneLove, Underachiever, Long Wheel Base and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJacobs Posted September 5, 2018 Share Second hand goods fall under CPA also, see my response above , seller does this to make money often (250 odd adverts) … so might get interpreted as bussiness... After a couple of years of cycling one ends up with many things which can be sold... handlebars, saddles, promo things from races, etc. Just selling stuff in classifieds, not necessarily a business to make money, just clearing out stuff.

PM / e-mailed information / telephone number / mail address of said "seller / guy" given to some Hubbers could maybe assist you locating said "guy / person" You got hold of him quick enough when you had his moolas ready for collection / EFT correct?

Edge_Design Posted September 5, 2018 Share c) The Markus Jooste Defence OP: mr Funk is contending you failed to respond to numerous attempts at being contacted. Is this true? I could be wrong but I think it's his buddy (the one whose bike it was) that is avoiding his phone calls now and not the OP. From the original ad "Selling on behalf of a buddy" - not much of a buddy if he won't even take the call now... That's why I really think Junaid should let us help him to find his buddy as it's unfair that his name is going down like this.

Dirkitech Posted September 5, 2018 Share as you were not acting within the ordinary course of your business selling bikes is a side line not ordinary course of business again my view private sale of second hand goods between 2 individuals. please enlighten us as to how the consumer commission will get involved and resolve this? maybe you should read and consider the Act as a WHOLE and not just the snippets you find quoted by journalists I've read a lot of information in and of the CPA earlier this year and my understanding was also that if someone sells things regularly enough, it constitutes a business, whether its registered or not.Now, I'm a common citizen whose done a lot of research and reading with my own scrutiny and skeptical approach, but I'm fully aware that my understanding *could* be wrong.I'd be happy to take these opinions to heart if a registered and competent professional confirms- this sounds snarky but is meant sincerely, I too love learning and being corrected with facts when I'm wrong! As for OP still responding to the thread saying that it was shared as means of a warning and free education- awesome, thank you!
