I'm guessing you've been using this forum longer than I have. You're presuming I knew about this functionality; I didn't. It's not obvious, otherwise why would I have posted in here? I'm not doing this for the fun of it, I just wanted to clear up a query I had with the sale.
I'll admit that I didn't spot the corroded cable anchor and bolt, that was my fault for not looking carefully through all the photos and checking specific details. It would have just been easier, and a courtesy, to let me know about it though. If something could potentially affect your sale, why not mention it? It wouldn't have made a difference in the end.
So you admit that the caliper isn't fully functioning, yet you're excusing yourself from this fact by making out that it's not something you think is necessary and presuming I wouldn't need it. This isn't acceptable behavior, I'm not sure why you think this is OK? I actually don't mind that the adjuster isn't working, as I said in my previous comment, but when I buy something I expect it to be in full working order; you should have checked this before selling it to me. I wonder what else might not be properly working.
And you're the one that's pissed off? You've got an interesting way of looking at things. And to donate money to the forum just makes you look transparent - an obvious act to try and pardon yourself from your responsibilities as a seller.
