My main issue here is that I feel the wheels I bought weren't as described. Should I have spent more time inspecting them when you brought them to London, yes, but unfortunately you being late to our meeting meant I was in quite a rush to get to work.
Whenever I sell any items on here, or anywhere for that matter, I take the time to inspect them beforehand to make sure any flaws are accurately described. This, it seems, is not the case with everyone but explains why I suggested you had deliberately misled me, as I was very surprised you hadn't noticed the dents when putting the tyres on the rims.
My anal nature is also the reason I felt uncomfortable selling these wheels "on here" for the same amount you sold them to me. The reason this issue has only just come to light is not because I can't be bothered to sell them on, but rather this morning was the first time I'd had the opportunity to strip the wheels down and clean them in order to make a proper listing. I'm well aware of what the wheels are worth (you saw the set on my bike), but regardless of whether these wheels had cost me £400 or £600 I would still have the same issue.
Anyway the people have spoken. I'll put these on eBay at some point and be done with it. Or maybe I'll end up holding on to them and riding them in a few months time. Who knows.
Also, genuine apologies for the eCheque payment, I've got no idea what happened there. I wish you had said something at the time...
