What should i do.

[Monsterbishi]

The buyer is lacking in the scruples department, I'd bet dollars for donuts that he's swapped the good bits off your old bike onto his other one.

Tell him to bugger off, the bike is no longer in the condition that it was at time of sale.

[vj paul]

Had the lady on the phone the other day, i tell you shes a piece of work, she cant seem to get it, the bike went away working and now it doesnt ,and she had the cheek to say shes sick of getting ripped off, it think it the other way round.

[FilthyLuka]

i'd tell 'im to piss off, he broke the bike and now wants his money back....

As for the bike going to slow for his kid... how is that your problem? he new what type of bike he was buying so its his problem if ts not what he what he was looking for.

[homer]

But theres more, he has another one the same so what not saying that he has taken parts of the other one.

I think you should let it go and see what you hear ...id be guess hes swaped parts and now dosnt want it


Hey it a private sale

[Mikkel]

Hi guys,I had kids bike on trademe for a while but never sold, i got a request to drop the price by $100.00 then they would buy it, so i did, withdrew it from trademe at the request of the buyer.1 week later on a friday they picked it up, get a call from these people on saturday to say the bike is not fast enough, i said he can have his money back end of story every body happy, then he is now saying that there is no spark cant get it going.This guy took the bike going and wants to bring it back not going and wants his money back, Yeah right. What do you guys think Thanks Paul

Tell them to get stuffed. If they bought the bike and found that it wasn't fast enough for their purpose, that's not your problem at all!
Deal done is a done deal!
Unless of course you gave them any guarantee that the bike would be fast enough and that you'd refund the purchase if they found it so.

walk away. make sure you make note of all convos etc just in case he decides to try small claims or something.

[vj paul]

just in case he decides to try small claims or something.

Even if they decide to go that way, he still tampered with the bike so it cant come back in it original condition.

[sunhuntin]

from the sounds of it hes a slimy guy, and people like are clever when it comes to getting others to believe their lies.

[ElCoyote]

+1 on that advice. Hang tough. By agreeing to refund you have shown yourself to be a reasonable person, "they" on the other hand are shysters. Good luck anyway.

[McDuck]

Yep, tell them to go stuff themselfs.

[No FX]

no question as to what you should do-- tell them to get phucked ( maybe not in those words!). youve done absolutley nothing wrong, sold the bike in working condition and sounds like you were very reasonable when they first approached you. hes been pissing round with it and it stops going? not your problem!!

and also if he has another one of the same bike that makes the "too slow" claim also seem very unlikely as they would know exactly what said bike goes like! man some people piss me off.

under the consumer guarantees act you can say "AHAHAHA NAH FUCK YA BUDDY!" assuming you aren't a dealer.
