For Sale- Specialized Tri Spoke

I understand that there is a dispute with this item.

The item was sold as seen with the description above, and the buyer exchanged in person and accepted the wheels.

There is now a discussion as to whether the wheel was sold true. The seller declares that a mech checked and the wheels were 1.5mm out of true. However at the time of production +/- 1mm is considered factory true, and the wheel is spec'd to work as true to tolerances of +/- 2mm.

A 1.5mm would be considered true.

The difficulty comes in that the buyer is unable to verify at time of purchase whether or not the tolerances involved are within that range. The buyer apparently later asserts that the wheels are 3mm out of true.

I also do not know what communication took place prior to the exchange or at the exchange.

The Sales of Goods Act does not apply to second hand goods where either:

1. the flaw was described in advance (accurately sold) or
   
2. the buyer inspected the product before accepting purchase.
   
   

It remains to be seen whether those exceptions apply, I do not know whether conversations described the tolerance of true, whether that is actually true (the real amount the wheel is out of true), or whether the buyer inspected the item.

This appears to be a dispute based on he-said-she-said and LFGSS are not going to get involved in it. If the buyer or seller has an issue then a small claims court is the best place to resolve it.

Hopefully this serves as a reminder to people to check items before concluding a sale.
