just wondering what your views on this are. Last week I bought a set of Hutch ladder bars off here and paid a lot for them, now they have turned up and on the top cross bar the chrome has rubbed off down to raw metal at each end, this wasnt described in the original thread
http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=144309.0
ive sent him a pm but he hasnt logged on for a couple of days, what do you think should be a fair outcome to this

I'm sort of involved in this

as i sold my Laser bars to Arno, and he sold the ladder buff bars to you to buy mine.

I have been in pm's with him in the last couple of days

he's waiting for mine /his bars - trying to send out monday

just wanted to let you know my side if i get bought on board about the bars

cheers B

failing that find out what city centre he shops in and go pick his pockets

rollin72 · « **Reply #4 on:** May 05, 2012, 10:54 PM »

and I sold my bars to Joff to get these

when your asking for top $$$ the issues should have been described, there's enough pictures of the bars..just not the areas there's a problem with

I dont think the condition reflects the price

he's in Holland

Part refund Gaz

Jaymz · « **Reply #6 on:** May 05, 2012, 10:59 PM »

Not cool beans. If bendy has payment for his bars, then maybe we could ransom bars

kalex · « **Reply #7 on:** May 05, 2012, 11:07 PM »

how did you pay as gift or purchase,

about gift payments i can't see what benifits there are to pay this way now as there are fee's involved ( i've only noticed in the last month). the seller could always ask for slightly more to compensate for purchase fee's. i presume it's 4% for gift or purchase. then everyone is covered if this happens.

plus the seller will have your address on paypal invoice then

youll be on the continent in a few weeks gaz
have a little detour if no joy

I've noticed the for sale thread has been edited after the time you dibbed them ,, and the description mentions brake lever rub , has this info been added after sale .It wasn't edited to mark as Sold $:-\$

For sale ads on Ebay work that either you both agree on a part refund amount or full refund and you ( the buyer)stand the return postage .

Hope this gets resolved pronto

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #10 on:** May 05, 2012, 11:13 PM »

Just before it gets out of hand and the witch hunts starts

when speaking to him - he's a fare guy and i don't see he's out to rip people off ?

I'm not taking sides here on this one and i was just letting you all know what the score was

lets just see what he has to say and what can be done first ok

rollin72 · « **Reply #11 on:** May 05, 2012, 11:20 PM »

the majority of people on here are sound and honest, I just want him to see this thread to understand that, I dont want it to turn into a witch hunt, just for him to do the right thing, you get brake lever rub on most used bars, not on the top cross bar though

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #12 on:** May 05, 2012, 11:34 PM »

if im selling something and its marked or damaged i will mention and post pics and would expect others to do the same. if this dos nt happen then its dishonest or economical use of the truth to get more money ! not cool !

oldschoolace · « **Reply #13 on:** May 05, 2012, 11:34 PM »

I'm glad you are not advocating witch hunts, those things are never any fun

Buying and selling is always a two way street, ideally the seller is anal with his decription and the buyer asks enough questions to be sure about his purchase.

Personally if i was buying those bars i would expect them to need a re-chrome or run them as survivor. They look fairly pitted in the last couple of shots. That said the seller should have mentioned the wear if its as bad as you say.

Usually these things go much better with a calm tongue and a level head $:-\$
Hope it gets resolved amicably

Don't think Gaz has insticated a witch hunt or anything like that , he has bought a set of bars that when he has received them are not as good as he thought or haven't quite lived up to the description originally posted . He has asked for our opinions, thats all .

If it were me I would offer a full refund or a part refund that both parties are happy with ........ simples really

Im sure it will get sorted

It better fookin had.......... because you ain't getting my bars back Gaz

Seriously though Gaz, if it doesn't work out and your stuck for bars im happy to return these

rollin72 · « **Reply #15 on:** May 06, 2012, 12:00 AM »

ive still got them here you monkey

jT Racing · « **Reply #16 on:** May 06, 2012, 01:33 AM »

are you talking about the marks on the bar tops where the brake levers go that you can clearly see on the photo's? or the crossbar that goes in between?

Darren KAP · « **Reply #17 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:08 AM »

Its easy to sort , the seller needs to offer a part or full refund seeing as the description could have been better
On a plus side Gaz it looks like they arrived pretty quick

CD17 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:27 AM »

I think the description & photo's are pretty accurate from what I can see

sparky · « **Reply #19 on:** May 06, 2012, 07:35 AM »

Although it's not always clear to see the item from a photo, you're only ever going to see what it really looks like when it's in your hands. Photo's can sometimes have a way of making good things look bad and vice versa.

I always used the 'shop' method. If you're not happy with something, would you take it back and ask for a refund, discount or replacement (although the later is not always appropriate), but I guess only you can decide your next course of action.

I think that if you dont buy old scrap metal, you are never dissapointed with its condition.
I hope this helps

the marks are on the top of the cross bar that goes between,the marks where the lever goes aren't that bad

you dont see those pictures in the description, and is this what he meant as lever rub

for the money I paid for them I think he should have put in his for sale thread those pictures and then priced accordingly

thanks Simon that clears it up

I'll bring my chrome spray round Gaz .. Job done ..

hunterdubber · « **Reply #23 on:** May 06, 2012, 10:04 AM »

I think if there had been a picture like Gaz has shown in the for sale thread it would affect a good few potential buyers

It actually shows where the rub has gone through to bare metal and not in a place where it could be covered up by levers when built. $:-\$
