What is new ?

[baie-sukkel]

Hello all,

 

Could someone please define for me the word "BRAND NEW" ?

 

I recently bought a item here off the hub as BRAND NEW, when I recieved it yesterday, this product is far from brand new as usage on the item is cleary visible.

 

Is that still brand new or not? I paid a"new"price for it and feel then the item should be untouched like in the case of a new item, and not been used..........and the usage been masked with a thorough wash. Or am I just a bit full of Sh!t when it comes to the advertisement saying"BRAND NEW and the item is welll ............almost new ?

I agree 100% with you, brand new means it is in as good as condition as if it was still in store, especially if you paid a "brand new" price.

 

If I purchased something from the hub stating it is brand new I would have the same expectations you had on my purchase.

Seems your item is in "excellent condition" or "almost as new"

Unfortunelty thats the risk you take buying second hand, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose!

[turtlek]

No Mojoman Brand new is still in packaging never been on a bike!!!

 

 

 

Baie-sukkel if you walked into my shop and wanted an item off the shelf that was scuffed i would have to give you discount because it is not as it was delivered to us by the supplier

i would reckon brand new means in original packaging, unopened, unused.

 

Virtually brand new means out of packaging, but completely unused. maybe suffered a little drool spillage, but nothing more

[Spud]

Hell yes! Brand new is exactly that.......in the packaging as the guy purchased it in the first place and decided it wasnt what he wanted and was NEVER used or unpacked.

Hi Big H,

 

Om eerlik met jou te wees, ek weet nie, ek voel net dat as ek iets koop wat ge-adtverteer word as"splinternuut" dan moet daar nie"gebruiks merke" op die item wees nie. Die item is in n baie goeie kondisie,,,,,MAAR, die usage is duidelik sigbaar...........daarom vra ek julle slim mense wat beteken"brand new" volgense julle ?

 

Was gister weer jou "valley" gewees,sterkte daar.

The difference between "BRAND NEW" and "AS NEW" is clear.

Was jy in Lagos..... malhuis daai!!!!! Hier by ons in Benin City maak die reen nou ernstige skade aan ons konstruksie werk.

 

Ek voel as mens iets tweedehands aankoop en die persoon het jou ge-bullsh*t jy die persoon moet laat weet. Dit is jou reg. Sou jy 'n goeie prys betaal het en jy het waarde vir jou risiko (lees risiko as geld) gekry moet jy tevrede wees.

 

Sou jy voetstoots 'n tweedhandse kar koop en jy kom later agter die diff is vol piesangs geprop dan moet jy jouself maar berus daaroor dat die kar NIE deur 'n ou tannie op Sondae kerk toe bestuur nie.

 

Ek glo nie ek sal ooit enige fietsgoed tweedehands koop nie. Ek het wel ons eerste Tandem tweedehands gekoop. Al wat oor is van daai kopie is die raam.

"Was jy in Lagos..... malhuis daai!!!!! " 

 

.... Yip, lekker ou Lagos,ek kom te veel daar deesdae..........so 6 keer n maand,en die weer (masiewe donderstorms) jaag ons self sleg rond daar .

 

I tend to agree with one of the statements made here re "as new" and " brand new" ( there is imho a difference).

 

I have got no intentions of starting a "open forum fight" with seller, I purely just wanted to confirm that the avg hubber understands the"brand new" concept the same way as I did when I purchase this item.

 

I have emailed the seller and brought to his attention that this item is not brand new, however he has advetized is as brand new.

For me, brand new means:

 

1.) Unused, in original condition.

2.) Unopened, still in original packaging.

3.) Still covered by full original waranty, effective from the day I buy it.

I suppose when you buy "unseen" ..... caveat emptor rulz!!!!!!
