Craig@club100 Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Fred Fox sold a Garmin Edge 520 unit to me under the pretence that the unit was working 100%. From day1 it never connected via Bluetooth. After repeated attempts to correct it via Garmin SA which included software downloads and many calls to them. Fred sold the unit at R2700 and it was purchased in good Faith seeing he was a fellow cyclist. It was now told to me by Garmin that Garmin will have to issue a replacement unit as it's not repairable and it will cost me and additional R1950. The reason for this post is to inform all that Fred is not a trustworthy person as he refuses to own up that he sold a defective unit. After an attempt to recover some of the money given to him he blatantly says it's not his problem and is done talking to me. Please be aware of this person on bikehub for any future purchases. I'm sure Vaal Cycling is not aware of his integrity issues. I could have bought a new unit!

I could have bought a new unit! If you've had a bad experience from a deal here on hub, please leave a rating on the users profile. If you go onto a users profile, under the marketplace tab there is an option to rate this user. That will help others more then a post, that will probably be forgotten in a week or two. As that rating shows every time a user places an Ad.  Hope you come right with your garmin, they are really nice toy to have when working.

bikebloke Posted March 5, 2019 Posted March 5, 2019 Apologies guys. Was extremely busy today. Its Fred Fox. Typo on postif (big if ) you feel the need to burn people on bikehub (im not condoning or judging here) you need to make sure you put the correct user handle in the post otherwise people may confuse people and someone not involved may get burned . also if you check out users feedback before purchasing from them you may not get burned at all ...and if you leave feedback you may prevent others getting burned .. a lesson for all Sepia, Long Wheel Base, slickjay007 and 3 others 6
