gaz1 Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 WHATS THE POINT, WHEN HE DOES NOT REPLY!!. This may be unfair of me, he may be on holiday or something, and there might be an internet cafe some where, thats why i keep seeing him signed on? so i will appologise if this is the case well in that case you have to choices, wait a little longer or name him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TT-DEK Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 NO, i cant do that, that will be totally unfair, but if i don,t get the response i am looking for, then i will, and i will be contacting the moderaters and the flying squad. I might even contact COLUMBO, he,ll get to the bottom of this one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jezz Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 It is a tough situation. I constantly put my faith in people i send stuff out to public and members alike. I have never knowingly supplied anything that is faulty, but being a breaker i cant gaurantee anything i've never seen working! On the few occasions something has gone wrong, i usually give a full refund, but there are always people who take the p#ss. One particular member claimed he'd never recieved the parts he paid for, so i gladly sent out replacements. These apparently also never turned up, so i reluctantly sent another. Next thing i heard was a post on the forum claiming i was a con man and took money for non existant parts! I would also say that in your situation it is HIGHLY unlikely that the unit was fried by a dodgy turbofit installation. The guys there are very competant at everything they do, and i have first hand experience at working with sam and gregs electrical guys! Someone that can completely strip an engine loom, wire for wire, rebuild it again but 10 inches longer, and re-install it is going to be more than capable of fitting an SAFC!! My advice would be not to go down the route of using the forum as a slagging board, as this happens all to often and doesn't achieve anything. We dont need to know who the member is that sold you the safc. But obviously if it turns out he knew he was selling you a dodgy unit, thats when he needs to be named and shamed for other members to make a note of! Give him a chance to get in touch. Sorry for the essay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 if you buy second hand expect problems but there is a lot of if's and buts and what if's if this person has indeed not contacted you then that person is a bit low and does not deserve buisness to say "it was working before" is a bit childish and non buisness minded however there is 2 sides of the story i think 50:50 is a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 was this a private sale or a trader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 presumably as it was second hand it was a private sale. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 presumably as it was second hand it was a private sale. Mike traders sell second hand parts as well though, I am presuming it was private but just checking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazboy Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 LOL its becomming a guessing game now No, I'm not that childish- I was thinking (albiet for a nano second) that if this thread was in the members section, curiosity would forced this chap to log on to see it, thus having no excuses for saying "I wasn't logged on etc". But it's a bit Scoob Doo for grown ups.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 As some of you may know, i have had fun in this situation before. I ended up 1000 pounds down. Howver i never named and shamed as the product i bought was working when it came to me. (turbo, so wasnt blown lol) If it went via courier i believe the best thing to do is to try to claim back through insurance. Otherwise, being the seller i would refund the amount - postage. (would ask for the faulty product back though!! Good luck. P.S dont name and shame for a long while! too much of that about at the moment!

I always thought it was the poster who had to claim on insurance. They were after all the person with whom the delivery contract - and therefore the insurance - was with. If that is the case then they should refund Dodgy, and claim off the courier themselves. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-DEK Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 I agree with most of what you say, but i gave this person many chances to reply. If this was me, i would have been too embarrsed to just leave it, and fire back with it was fine when it left me!. I would have said ok, just send it back, i,ll send you the money back, but i will speak to the installers before doing so? have you got a problem with that? Just cover the postage. Its not as if i have fit it myself? A Qualified electrician who has fit many of these has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT-DEK Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 PIXELFIL. You are correct!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 If you send the seller a pm then ask him to acknowledge your message with just a quick reply if he hasn't got the time. You always know if the pm has been read aswell. If you send numerous messages and he doesn't reply then name him on here for definate, he deserves all he gets if he keeps ignoring you. There aren't any excuses for this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terribleturner Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 I don't understand why this person is ignoring you. Unfortunatly this has now got alot of coverage and feel you should contact a mod now for further advice on how to go with this. Although naming and shaming makes great gossip it's not always constructive. Good luck with it mate and hope it's all sorted soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamer Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 Is this not one of the reasons for the trader ratings ? Surely you could just give him an appropriate rating, others would then read it before making a decision before dealing with said member. Or are the ratings just a nice afterthought ?
