The Bike Vendor

I have sold things on here for my brother and friends because they don't know the value and wouldn't be able to answer most questions. I have never sold something from someone else I have not inspected and if posted I always ask if they have received it and happy with it.

 

Given a drive train is difficult to see,but telling someone everything is fine and good and the gears don't even work, shock doesn't move and fork not working correctly that sounds more than just a oops I didn't see that.

 

Main thing is how the situation is handled.

I had a similar issue with cayenne recently and clocks for an m.v augusta.

I was advised to open fraud case against them. Needless to say the issue was resolved very quickly thereafter.

Come to think of it I bought a crank from mr joe..... was branded with vision in the pics I saw on the ad, when received the stickers were removed...... did not bug me as the crank was a good used one and did what it needed to do. When I checked it was a tiagra crank.

Don't have much to add to what's been added other than to concur that what the seller did was swak my bru....if he unknowingly misrepresented the facts own up to it.....the seller didn't buy what he thought he was buying based on your description of the good.

 

Swaaaaak my bru!

I suggest we get a buddy system going for buyers that want items out of town. Post requesting assistance from another forum member to view and provide information.

Something in the line of accredited bike checkers in each area. For a fee ofcourse. Maybe a service bike shops should offer.

So he gave you something different to what was advertised.

 

Maybe an honest mistake, maybe a pattern of dishonesty.

 

At least you were happy with the replacement.

It's all good... Maybe this deal went south... But everyone has something to say... Yet no one posts under their real names??? Something to hide do you??

Not difficult to figure out who’s who in the zoo if you’ve been on the hub here long enough...

My point Eugene is there is a deceptive trait that has been established.

 

The branding he put on and then removed did not bother me as the build was not for me personally but a bike I was donating to someone, so all was good.

can't really hide as your info is on your page. Obviously when talking or dealing with someone you use your name. Some guys/girls "usernames" are quite creative and funny.

A quick search on True Caller on the number shared in the OP returns:

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

My experience is very different. I've used it on 2 occasions to resolve situations, with great success.

 

Oh, and it doesn't only apply to a 'main line of business'. It's been used successfully on AirBnB bookings, which are regarded as a sideline business for most vendors.
