Bad traders

who knows, maybe he does have a good excuse. He may even still want the trousers, but should offer the purchase price plus four quid for your inconvenience.

I'm sure he'll make it up to you. These breeches are rarely irreparable

Do let us know how you selvedge the situation

I'm really annoyed I had to merge the 'threads'.

Murrance's problem clearly struck a cord with a lot of people.

Maybe it was a case of Wallace and gromit and the wrong trousers ? Sorry for making you merge threads hippy guy still hasn't responded to my texts. I would like to point out the only reason I am pissed off is because he could of saved me a journey in the pissing rain by simply texting me back saying he didn't want them

Well, pretty convenient that you had waterproof trousers to wear.

every cloud...

Every cloud has a black lining out there at the moment hope I don't get wet on the way home had enough of being wet

I really didn't want to post up here but I've been left no other option really....

I purchased a set of wheels from a frequent poster 'on here' who has a lot of rep. I met him to buy the wheels and he seemed like a nice enough guy. On inspection by my LBS, however, it transpired that the front wheel needs a complete rebuild due to the hub being bent out of shape.

I contacted the seller who agreed that he would purchase them back off me - this was in late October / early Nov. I've been patient waiting for this to take place as I'm aware that the sum of money that I paid wasn't inconsequential.

It's now mid-February and the seller hasn't been in touch with me since early December, and I'd go as far to say that he is actively trying to avoid resolving this issue as I've recently texted, tried to call, pm'd and posted on his member page (which has since been taken down).

I think I've been patient - I've waited a few months, avoided naming publicly, refrained from posting in the frequent sales threads that he has placed on this forum, and given him another option of paying for repairs rather than buying back the whole set and have a surplus, broken pair of wheels sitting about.

I'm posting this here to get any opinions from other forum members about other ways to resolve this. And in the hope that he might read this and do the right thing.

As you met in person, I assume you paid cash? Get a receipt?

Did you go to his/have his address, or meet at a neutral venue?

Yep I paid cash, but I didn't get a receipt. We met at a neutral location. There's a bunch of photos of his (old) bike with the very same wheels on here, however, and a series of texts where we talked about the LBS diagnosis and how we could sort it.

Anyone on here know @NorthLondonLight personally? I took him at face value, assumed his reputation mattered to him and paid for goods to be sent by post, only some of which I've received. He acknowledged nearly a month ago that an item was not send, but has gone to ground (he's not been on here for 6 days now) and refuses to answer PMs or emails for the past few weeks. If you have had any dealing with him, you might post on here and let me know.
Any news?

So he agreed there is a problem and agreed a resolution, but has been ignoring you, despite being continuing to sell on here?

Who is it?

Yes, which has been pretty galling for me.

At the risk of continuing to delay this I'll hold back from naming immediately in the hope that he sees this and decides to come good...I'd rather get this sorted amicably.

Edit - the thread is easily found, even if you'd rather not name the seller.

I am perfectly willing to admit that it's me. Bezzin, I'll give you a call later. Sorry for dropping off the radar.

Well done to JB for manning up. I hope you are able to sort this out amicably.

JB promised me loads of things, the guy is a dick

He promised me he would build a rad bike. Lied through his teeth

He promised me moon lit walks on clear nights. All I got was 4 hours of missing time.

And he wouldn't even return my calls after.

shots fired

What is it with you and wheels?

He promised me delicious blue haribo bears, and they were disappointing at best.

nergs all round
