It's after 14:00!!!!

 

According to ex-British PM, Harold Wilson, a week is a long time in politics.

 

Now we know that 45 minutes is a long time on the interwebs.

 

Morne van Rensburg was outed an hour ago, tarred, feathered and has had a stake driven through his heart.

Seems like the OP has tried.

 

But why must the OP sell the fork and not be refunded imediately?

 

 

Nice post Nick ,

But from the facts posted by the OP , he needs to be refunded , and forthwith .

 

Maybe Morne will redeem himself by refunding in full , and paying postage . 

 

Hey Chaps, for the record, I'm inclined to believe the OP's record of events and think he should be refunded. But I've found that just knowing that the person on the other end of the line actually exists and is not some "oil rig" type scammer or something goes a long way. In hindsight I probably shouldn't have said anything tbh.

I agree with you Nick, I never treated Mornè any differently than I would my own mother and or family member. I know that he's probably going through a tough time with everything else that's going on in the world. If he came to me and stated his case in such a way as to say, I am so sorry man, it is my mistake and I will make sure you get your money back at such and such a date then we could've had a discussion about it. But as it stands now he's not being fair, I can't pay R4100 for the fork without a thru axle and then send it back to him before maybe, possibly getting my money back. Then I can much rather list it (as I have done) and purchase a TA locally before having someone else enjoy it

I see this! 

 

Sjoe, what a pity. I was hoping he was going to come good.

 

Sorry Robert. I hope you manage to see the fork on!

 

Morne, my man.... eish

100%. Hope you come right.

its sad though that he is willing to lose potential clients and buyers over a R4k. The cycling community is small, especially in Stellies. All the best RobertWhitehead

I dont think you should advertise it yet.

 

Demand your money back and if he does not do this report to Admin, kick him off the hub and only then advertise the fork etc

I'm not a big fan of "guilty unless proven innocent" but it applies in this case. You stumped up before he sent the goods so he should reciprocate and send you a full refund + shipping before you return the fork. Fairness works both ways.

 

Morne is skelm until he proves otherwise.

Guys a crook plain and simple.

yeah... 

 

Respect for your patience in dealing with the situation Robert.

 

I would of had friend of a friend gone to fetch my money by now  :whistling:
