warning!

Hi mates

I want to warn all of you guys against this tow bar I just bought but had to send back to seller
http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic133678.html
as you can see it is described as in very good conditions

Very good condition.


well I took some pictures of the real conditions when courier left it
you can take a look at my gallery
http://www.disco3.co.uk/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=43150

I don't know Mark (toshers) and I really don't understand why he described this towbar as in very good conditions (well I have a PM from him where he describes the towbar as in excellent conditions)

all I want to say is. This is not Ebay. When you advertize something on here you are going to sell it to a mate so this is not the place to cheat someone.

I see toshers posts are mainly in the for sale and wanted section so all of you guys are now warned

apologize Martin if this is the wrong section so feel free to remove or move my post

thank you
Filippo

No he doesn't respond
Btw it has been resolved through PayPal
Luckily I didn't gift the money so PayPal says I'm right after having seen the pictures
They say I'll be refunded but I haven't received the money yet
And had so pack and send it back to him

Certainly makes for poor reading. I'd like to think we are all trustworthy enough to avoid disputes and naming/shaming

May I suggest having been in touch with Martin, or a moderator before posting this up. There may have been a legitimate reason, or mix up

Regardless, at least PayPal is keeping you right. I hope you got proof of return shipping too

Excellent.

I trust you get a refund of what you have paid + return postage costs.

This doesn't often happen happily.

1973 MG B GT V8 - 3.9L John Eales engine, 5 speed R380 gearbox, since 1975.
1959 MGA roadster - 1.9L Peter Burgess Engine - 5 speed gearbox
Past LRs - Multiple FFRs, Discos & a Series I - some petrol, some diesel,
none Electric or H2 fuel cell - yet.

I didn't want to violate any rule that's why I asked Martin before posting
I had to wait for delivery finalization so I have the proof of the shipping
Re the money I'm not rich and I won't be poorer if they won't refund me
I'm a disco3 enthusiastic contributor and if I sell something in "very good condition" on here you can trust me it will be in very good condition
That's essential for me
Again this is "our home" or pub if you prefer so if you cheat someone you'll see him again

End of the story

Sorry to see this and thankfully not representative of most forum transactions.

As you say, this is not ebay and we expect better.

Thanks for the clear explanation and photos.
