Yay my stuff arrived off trademe - oh look... it's fucked.

[skidMark]

Well i needed some bits to make the zxr mint again, a shop called adrenalin motorcycles in mt maunganui was partig one out, on trademe as remnants mc...

so i bought the pieced that goes between left fairing ad frame, and a rear undertail mudguard...

they arrived today i pull them out of the box and here it is...

I have sent the guy an email saying this is the kind of stuff you point out, i have only just emailed so will be interesting to see the reply...

pretty pissed to pay $30 for this item when it's more fucked than what i already had...

do i have a leg to stand on? i asked if he had the items, he said yes and gave me the price the set up a seperate auction...

the auction stated the bike was being parted due to a blown engine...

but i think the damage and half arsed repair shown should have been mentioned...



pic 1 - damaged one that was already on bike

pic 2 - one i got sent from guy on trademe...

Only problem about second-hand online stuff - Its buyer beware.

Was it damaged before it was sent or was it damaged during shipping?

Looks like you've been tucked up SM. You do have a come back on him moan to Trademe goods arrived NOT as described. You probably won't get anywhere but at least you have the satisfaction of having had a go at him. Through the channels. It's no good giving him a red face as he will give you one back. Trademe don't give a fuck, they have been paid a loading fee by the vendor and a success fee as well. I'm afraid you are on your own.
Cheers

That's fuk all mate I waited 8-1/2 months for my 07 Triumph 1050 Tiger to get an engine job fixed up by Anza under warranty. It had 5 months of warranty to go when I took it over to them to fix. I had nothing left when I got it back. Although TNZ told me that they would extend the warranty by six months. When I asked them for the offer in writing I haven't heard back from them in 4.1/2 months. I sold the piece of shit anyway. Went back to the good old reliable Jappa Uki GSX1400 special edition. Great bike reliable as!!

I ordered a Russian bride once and when they delivered her, she was completely fucked.

Look at it this way mark, it won't be long before you crash it and fuck it anyway, in the mean time you save $15!

[cowpatz]

Make sure you place negative feedback. Only way to identify these arseholes.

yeah sorry about that,you don't mind sloppy seconds do ya?

Now they've agreed a compromise Negative Feedback isn't really appropriate.

Personally IMO, this trader really shouldn't be sending out unsaleable crap and I would imagine his feedback is already not too clever.

Bush lawyer alert!

There are laws that have to be stuck to or you can take em to small claims. If he described it as a certain condition then it arrives in another then Mark has a case.
