Risks you taking buying a bike online...(bit of a rant sorry)

[BikerDazz]

I see Quasi and TK3 know who it is .
Name the dickhead, that's a totally ratshit thing to do and he should be outed.
I sure as hell would like to know in case I come across him.

From what TK3 says, sounds like you were lucky to not buy the shitbox though.
Something better will come up.
Maybe next time, see if they're prepared to meet you half way.

Funny you should say that quasi do you want his home address? The guy is a lier, the guy that owns the workshop that you went to is the owner of the bike unfortunitly he just lied to you, trust me from first hand knowledge he is a cock and you are better off without it it was fucked. Three bikes into one to make it go.

TK3- I actually believe you! when i originally wrote the first post i said the 'owner' was storing it for his 'mate' and named the place (granted i said MR motors lol i meant M & R) when we we left we had a feeling that he was the dickhead selling it. son of a!!

Quasi- thank you very much for the offer lol instead just promise not to take your car there if it needs to be fixed. probably not as fun as dishing out an arse whooping sorry.

for everyone else thank you for your support, complaint has been made to trademe and your all right, that was not meant to be...however i am going to look at one here in palmy tonight...fingers crossed

Gah, i hear the hate you're throwing around. Conversely though, i've had buyers pull out of purchases which sluts me something rotten as i've told others that it was sold and wouldn't be taking any more offers.

Shameless plug: You don't want my Hornet 250 do you?

It does happen both ways and either way the Pullere-router-er should be named and shamed. To hell with PC crap.I only hope this guy gets on KB and sees he's been outed. Don't deal with this turkey everyone.

[caseye]

Aw shucks, I'm sure we'll like it. M and R Motors in Hamilton aye? hummmmmmmmm.
Go find YOUR Bike.

[FROSTY:Me]

Folks can I ask a couple of questions. Keep in mind I sell about 30 vehicles a month.
Did you make an appointment to meet at a certain time and place to view/purchase the bike?
Did you contact the seller to say we are leaving NOW we'll see you in 5-6 hours?

I"m not saying in any way that this seller is honest just that I hear it/read it regularly from "customers" that they will be right back--will head on in to buy that vehicle. One in 10 actually turn up.

Yea no fair enough, we did definately arrange a time and place to meet (we didnt want to drive all that way if he wasnt there...) we text him the night before and everything was all good both ends. text in the morning and when we were just outta hamilton and then all of a sudden he didnt answer.and the drama unfolded from there.

[ynot slow]

XT network again lol.What a piss off,and inconveniance as you've stated,hell my(first) bike was about 50km away,rang night before,rang on leaving and all was good,although his wife wasn't too happy about test rides,they had a quad which a guy took up the road and crashed,write off and uninsured as not road legal(obviouslly),they sued the guy through small claims of iirc the guy he hit insurance sued the test pilot.

[FROSTY:Me]

In that case I go with general consensus--ASSHOLE

[cave weta]

I just did a deal to buy a bike of a guy in Onga Onga HB.
He said cash or bank cheque- I said fine

I needed to get the bike by this weekend and didnt have the required funds in the bank till the 20th of this month.
I started hitching to Hawkes Bay on Wednesday morning at 8.00 am- called in to Marac Finance on the way.

Because Im good for it- I walked out with a Marac Cheque made out in his name within an hour and continued travelling on my thumb.
It was a hard days hitching and I finally got to where the bike was at his mates farm in the middle of nowwhere at 7.30 pm. bike was there - I was happy with it-

He wouldnt accept Marac Finance Company's cheque!!!! - he turned me around and sent me home with no deal after 11 hours of hitching! as the sun was going down he gave me instructions to head home 400km and get the cash.
WTF is the difference between a finance company's cheque and a bank's cheque? they are both finance institutions and not personal cheques!!!

Needless to say - It may take me a week or two to find another suitable bike - but at least he is not getting my money.
by the way- it turns out that he is on here- so don't feel all cosy just because you are dealing with a KBer-

[caseye]

Geez Weta that sucks, he doens't know that a finance Companies cheque (OK there are some dozy ones) But MARAC isn't good enough. Well once again, if he's that damn stupid he doesn't sdeserve your money and you most likely shoudn't have got that bike good luck finding another bike and an appreciateive owner.
