Motomail Parts

The lady is a consumate motorcycle professional - you can go there without any feeling of disquiet.

Dark alleyways in the college hill district after hours might be best avoided in the short term.

Thanks for the heads up. Besides, I should be in MM good books. Apart from being a customer, I helped them close that deal on the MV Brutale. The guy was going to buy it elsewhere and didn't even know about MM. I spoke to him on several occassions and even offered him a test ride. I think they should send me a dozen beers hand delivered by Sarah.

You'd settle for a hand shandy wouldn't you Finn?

Very interesting area of law, this. I can't be bovvered digging out my textbooks on contract law, but suffice to say that learned counsel have spent many a happy fun filled houir biffing each other upside the wig about what distinguishes a quote from an estimate from an advertisment from a price tag from a price list.

FWIW I think Mr HenryDorsetCase is pretty much on the money .

The instance specified wasn't an advertisment (not intended to attract custom, the OP asked for the price). Unless it specifically said "QUOTATION" or words to such effect, it's not a quote. And it's not likely to be an estimate unless it had some words like "approximately" or "about" . The sum was quite specific.

So if anything it's a price tag. Or a statement tajken from a price list.

In which case my understanding (IANAL) is that there is no obligation on the vendor to honour the price. As others have said.

The rationale being, that a quote is a pretty particular thing. Some people charge for them. The law expects that if you're giving a quote, you should be careful. Double check it. Triple check it. As anyone who has worked in a quoting industry will know. Did I mention to check it all again.?

Whereas a price tag is a quick and dirty thing. Stick up a sign. Bung on some labels. Law doesn't expect someone to meticulously check them.

So, not obliged to honour the mistake. If the "wrong" price was put up as an inducement , then it becomes an advertisment and consumer (not contract ) law says the vendor may have to honour it. But that's the "Special today - only $xxx" type price tag. Not applicable here.

But - almost certainly I would say the contract is voidable. OP should be able to get his money back if he wants. "I bought this on the mistaken belief, based on your statement, that it was only $x. Now I find it is $y. Had I known that I would not have agreed in the first place". Parties never had an agreement. One agreed to buy at $x the other to sell at $y. No meeting of minds.

Its going to take some f...ing around to make it fit, so I will email Sarah at Motomail and return it....have to get a custom one made maybe

Have gone into Motomail, they were apologetic and refunded my money in full - case closed, we can all move on

.... dozen beers hand delivered by Sarah.

The vibrations from the Cagiva (ahem... Suzuki) V-twin would make the beers all fizzy. And her bike's naked - there's no bikini fairing on it Big Dave...Dunno what you fellas talking about.

Glad we got the other side of the story eventually and all ended happily. Just didn't sound like the Motomail Staff we have grown to know and cherish...

Look buddy, I don't mean to be rude, but you can move on. You're happy, you've got your money.











































We still want to see them titties.

Customers are so hung up on the quote thing,and they try to use it as lever...They always say to me - ''But you quoted....'' Uh uh,sorry buddy,but I never quote,I may verbaly said a guesstimate,or I may of rarely written you an extimate,and the form has ''estimate'' printed on the top,but never,ever will I give you a quote.I had some Somalians today trying to hold me to a quoted price - I said if they wanted a fixed quoted price,then I would treble my estimate....but if they trusted me to fix what was actualy required,then we could be cheaper.My estimate was $380,my quote was $800,but the repair was $230.Maybe they will trust me next time - then I can rip them off,I'm a tradesman after all.

No point debating this without quoting the relevant areas of legislation (especially you Renegade Master with some of your... interesting ideas).

No they didn't, they just fessed up that they did in fact provide a price for the fairing via email, and accepted that they had to stick to that price, probably not an issue if its an extra 10-15 bucks but not $94??!!! Unfortunately, the blade did not fit the fairing, not even close, so its a satisfactory result.

I got taught that in school, when we started up a bussiness. but ixion has confirmed what I was saying - so it must be true
