anderbyangel Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) I sold something on the for sale for 10 quid around six months ago, Got a PM the other day from the buyer saying it was a duff, asked him what was wrong with it and he openly admitted to changing the files/SD card yet for some reason he seems to think hes entitled to either a replacement or a refund! Its fairly obvious he had no problems with it in the last five months, and practically openly admitted to breaking it himself! and is just trying his luck. Fair enough if he had problems with it after a week or two, i would have replaced it. But 6 Months after !! Claiming hes had problems with it from when he first bought it? . Im actually suprised he would go the hassle for a tenner! Rant over! Edited March 19, 2012 by anderbyangel Typo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anderbyangel Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 yeah but remember peeps, this is just op's side of story Listen, i have sold a few of these on here, Not one problem. I showed it working to the guy that bought it. 5 month later i get a PM, oh its suddenly stopped working, i asked him why, he changed the files on the SD card, if you take the files off it wont work! I told him this when he bought it. If he would like to take me to small claims court please feel free! I have had enough of the messages i am receiving! 6 Months after is a joke! I got robbed with a DVD player few weeks back, I got nothing back at all, you dont hear me whinging about it and that was £55 a lot more than £10.

L00b Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 (edited) yeah but remember peeps, this is just op's side of story...and after 4 years of trading on here, I can well believe it Regardless, hybrid - would you actually expect a warranty, with a private sale? Does the expression "buyer beware" ring any bells with you, or are you part of the growing legion of common sense-bypassed online 'shoppers' who use SF classifieds, eBay, Gumtree, Ad-Mag etc. as if it was Argos? If he would like to take me to small claims court please feel free!Don't think that will happen, somehow, as... oh its suddenly stopped working, i asked him why, he changed the files on the SD card, if you take the files off it wont work! I told him this when he bought it....I've got a feeling that "something" is for use on DS? Edited March 19, 2012 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 when you sell something on here or in a classified advert or a car privately, the contract is normally "sold as seen". You cannot expect a seller to give a manufacturer's guarantee. For that you pay full price at a retail outlet. Selling things privately everyone should understand that it is "sold as seen", that's why it is cheap.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
