At least it was running and I couldn't really prove that this hadn't all been done by the previous owner or the owner before him really.

I just sucked it up and made the repairs - happier now but oh so wary of trademe purchases from now on.

Ooohhh boy, have I got a bridge for you!! Email me quick before other buyers get in.

Tough luck on your part which is a bastard,he had good feedback so can understand why you bid on it.I have bought both bike and cars off trademe,the bike I checked out and rode,the cars,first one was bought from description and picture,was ok and flew through 4 wof later no worries($625 celica also from Waitara),next one was bought after viewing so no problems.

Since I am one of the 3000 "terrorist suspects", attempting to get any info from BetradeMe is similar to getting sense out of a politician.

Sounds like the standard warnings surrounding private sales are in order - and an invitation for Mr Waitara to have a public roasting...!

What an asshole, go to trademe and they will hopefully sort it.

BTW I have no idea who that is in that photo of patches!!!! Its not me!!! Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

OOOOh.... Ive been out for tea and had a phone call while I was out...
It seems that Trev Tolhof who sold me the bike was using his mates Trade me account. (probably been barred from having his own)! the guy who's account it is rang me and reckons that I have been putting bad questions on his other auctions! - come on fess up! who's been 'Helping"?

I really feel sorry for this dude, he's got a wanker for a mate and he now gets bad feedback from me cos of it and further still gets a pasting from someone on here!
IM OFF TO TRADE ME FOR A LOOK!
Oh and Baldrick- thanks for your offer- but I first saw the auction with only 2 minutes to go- you wouldnt have got to waitara in time to stop me!

That's strange, because it looks to me like the seller doesn't have any other listings.

**St_Gabriel** · 4th August 2008, 22:41

Either way "Trev" is still responsible as it was his account being used, maybe he should have told his mate to get fucked, fuck off!

**St_Gabriel** · 4th August 2008, 22:42

ooops Trev is not responsible, but the account holder/owner is responsible (holdenvp1)

PS I am sure most buyers would have bid considering holdenvp1s' feedback, you cant fault 30 +ves and no neutral or -ve

**barty5** · 4th August 2008, 23:00

I know where Mr holdenvp1 (account holder)use live hey and guess what they are related i would even go as far as saying that the bike was picked up form 98 ------ street Waitara same place MR Mr holdenvp1 has his car regod to which wont really help much as his profile says he lives in auckland.

The dealings I have had in the past with trademe tells me that they don't want to know about any problems.
