do you need someone to carry your luggage?

[Owl]

I've had a similar thing happen, but with less money involved. You have every right to be pissed!!!:angry:

[FROSTY]

Was the auction for a black one?
did he online accept your offer -ie did he in q and a actually say--yep no problem I will supply it in red for the same money?
If not I'd suggest he is bang to rights supplying you the item in black.
Ie you read the product description and bid acordingly.

Sorry mate--but tis my take on it

calm down.

forget about it for at least 24 hours.

You are not seriously suggesting getting on a plane to come down here and front the guy over $450 are you? You've heard of chucking good money after bad? That is the textbook definition of it.

try and do a deal with the punter. If you arent happy, the worst case scenario is if youpaid with credit card, send him his stuff back, then get your card co to refund.

If you paid cash/bank transfer, and you feel you have a remedy, and you feel you want to chase it, then off to the Disputes Tribunal.

Have you in fact checked whether a red one is dearer? (get one of your mates to ask a qn on one of his other auctions)

If you do end up keeping it, leave a red face for the guy, and you have a black gazebo.

Too bad if he didn't understand the question. The questions & answers form part of the terms of the auction. And it definitely shouldn't stop him giving you a refund.

[boomer]

Kick his fookin heed in Ed. No questions.. no ifs, no but or maybe's but a good old fashion bray'ing...!!

i'll buy the beers

[shafty]

Whats the cost difference between black and red?

[kickingzebra]

I'm going with the atomic wedgie option...
Winge to Trademe (screen grab the QA etc etc of the auction first!)

[Patch]

Smash the yella bastard.

sorry mate I guess I wasn't clear
ON THE AUCTION with paper trail did you ask the question?

[Forest]

I'm starting to get sick of trademe. I bought a bike there three months ago and collected it yesterday. Here is the question I asked on the trademe auction:

Q. Hi. What is the actual milage on this bike?

A. Not sure without checking,its under 1000kms,as new. Very collectable. Any further question feel free to ask.

The mileage on the bike when I collected it was 1,924 km.

I'm really not happy about this. I don't think this dealer will get another sale out of me.

[Duke girl]

Have you got in contact with Trade Me about what has happened as there seems to be alot of unhappy people who are buying things of this site who are getting the royal deal when it comes to them actually getting wat they have paid for and what was in the description of what it was they bought of there. Trade Me need to get on top of it and protect those who are buying of there site, as isnt the main priority to them keeping buyers happy and making sure that those who are selling of there are going thru with wat it is they are actually selling and not false advertising. It makes me angry when u put so much trust into people and end up getting taken for a ride by someone who is nothing more that a low life scum bag. Do wat u have to without having to lower yourself down to their level. Goodluck with the outcome.
