I’ve bought and sold on the forum for years, I’ve always been on the assumption that all sales are final and it’s buyer beware, we all make mistakes and I’d certainly never knowingly mislead or sell dangerous kit. That’s certainly how I’ve undertaken all purchases on here and once or twice I’ve not made my best decisions but wouldn’t expect the seller to do anything as I’m buying used. I don’t feel I misrepresented the sale and I wonder if the buyer has rose-tinted view seeing as they owned the bike in the past.
Coming back to me a month after purchase expecting me to pay their servicing costs seems a bit much. I’m not a shop selling a new bike with a service plan.
I’m a little miffed this has popped up the day before I head off on a tour :(
I don't think you have any responsibility in this situation. Ultimately it is second hand kit sold unwarranted. The one month interlude between sale and complaint just compounds the unreasonableness of the buyer's expectations.
