Am I being unreasonable here?

[RobertWhitehead]

Thank you Mornè for the reimbursement I have received a Proof of Payment just now. 

 

Do you want me to send screen shots of our discussion on this open forum? I don't mind. 

 

 

Guys Guys

 

So obviously the public is only hearing one side of the whasup and conversation here.

Let him also post the rest of the whasup and then you guys will see that i said i will 100% reimburse him when i come to Pretoria on the weekend of 7th feb . And he refused to.

 

its always very easy to climb on a tram when everyone is throwing rocks at the same person.

 

- Yes i do own a service center and im proud to say that i do i have more then 15 year experience in this field.

so obviously im i so stupid (TO SCAM THIS GUY OVER R4100) 

- so guys before you guys just post, get the right info first from both parties

 

I'm always a guy that want to support the industry and the millions of people that ride bikes.

 

If you guys have any queries and really want to hear the story , please phone me 072 235 3385

PS. 29th of January would have been better.

So glad you got this nightmare sorted out. Well done Morne for eventually doing the right thing. Hard lesson learned.

[Mudsimus]

15 years experience and you don’t know the difference between 29” and 650b ????

[Wayne pudding Mol]

Should have not taken this long to resolve and there was only one victim based on the posted evidence

 

Morne's reputation has taken a massive hit

 

how did the trough axle fall off?

why was a 650b for sent as a 29er by a pro with 15 years experience

Why did Robertwhitehead have to pay up front in good faith but Morne wouldn't?

 

It really didn't need to go this way Morne, you really made a pigs ear out of this

 

Anyway glad it's all sorted .........eventually

[Morne5083]

Welcome to this thread about you. Your a bit late, but its never too late to make things right. Please post your side of the story.

 

Another thing is, why must he wait for you until the 7th to sort this out. Pay the man back his money asap, and then YOU must get the fork back after that. After 15 years in the industry, you are not doing a very good job if you think a 650b fork is the same a 29er...

Everyone makes mistakes and ill be the first one to say im wrong .

 

If Robbert can please post the full conversation where i said that im coming to pta and ill reimbursed him, but he just posted the whatsups where i looked bad in the public eye.

 

as many of the people posted , why would i as a business do all this just to win R4100. it doest make any sense.

 

Guys im a mechanic that work on bikes, i dont sit behind a computer all day so i apologies if i don't respond in 5 minutes.

 

i aplogise if i was wrong

2 things.

 

Eish this review! Can you not admit that you sold him a fork that was 1 and half inches shorter than what you claimed it was. This might be acceptable to your bokkie, but it doesn't fly here.

 

secondly. WhatsApp is a communications network. this is whasup

_{all good and well, however why were you not prepared to refund him immediately? Were you concerned that he wouldn't return it? You made the error and then to add insult to injury you wanted him to wait? so further inconveniencing him?}

[FootballingCyclist]

The way I am seeing it now, Is yes it is a refund, but it is essentially like a sale again, So how can Morne "demand" money back 1st until he received the fork and then he will pay? Let's say "life" happens and he doesn't pay, then OP is left without the fork plus his cash. So it should be quite simple, Pay the money back and the fork will then be sent back. If Morne didn't have the money to refund at the time, He should've been upfront with the OP from the start and I'm sure judging by the OP's original messages he may have understood and this thread wouldn't even be here. But before I get flamed, I agree that he should never have falsely advertised and the sold the fork in the first place because I genuinely don't know what he thought was going to happen when whomever bought this fork tried to fit it and it didn't fit. (Lets not even get into the thru-axle story which the OP never saw but actually paid for)

 

Edit  see this has been resolved. 

[Rob K]

Great lessons for future rip-off artists here on Bike Hub as well as any forum driven platform.

 

It certainly appears that the culprit only responded after realizing the **** storm he'd created single handedly.

 

Well done to everyone that was part of the solution.

 

It may not have been a lot of money but the principle wins out every time.

[Quagga]

yes please

 

can you also send the screenshots where you badmouth my suppliers as well. so that's its open for everyone.

 

thanks

Morne

Or you can also post it. You claim there were two sides. 

 

Lets see it then
