  Happens frequently, long time users never get called out by the majority for doing just that.

  Decent ride at an excellent price. Top forumer too!

  Thanks, two of the bolts are totally rounded out.

  You need to decide if it's worth it though. If it was described as 'used' and this is the only issue and you didn't pay over the odds, you may be better off just keeping it.

  Hmm...

  Bought a used etap 11spd rear derailleur from ebay to finally finish a etap rim group I had been trying to compile (for 5 years!). In my haste I did not check feedback (all 100% positive) when pulling the BIN trigger. Its been delivered, but the case backing which has all the electrical gubbins in it has a couple of tiny hex bolts which have been ham fistedly put back together and are rounded out.

  It appears to work but a bit pissed its been reconditioned/refurbished and seller did not put this in the ad nor did he add pics of the backing where the rounded out bolts are located. At the time of buying this was the only rear derailleur he had and he has now advertised parts of etap rear derailleur and non-working etap rear derailleurs as separate listings. As I did not check his feedback at the time of purchase I now see he has sold previous etap rear derailleurs and component parts for them. He may well be reconditioning/chopping and changing parts and selling as completes and selling odds and sods componentry.

  As these 11spd rim brake etap rear derailleurs are temperamental things I may need to disassemble in the future and now won't be able to due to the rounded out bolts. Should I complain/send pics mentioning its been reconditioned (not included in description) and mentioning the rounded out bolts or am I being a touch sensitive?

  I get the supporters' team bias, I do...but Liverpool supporters should move on >>>>>

  VAR mistakes happen, they shouldn't, but they do and it will continue to happen. Hollow apology has happened which will change nothing. Move the fuck on please. Here, twitter/X, instagram et al.

  Excellent deal for someone, easily £700+ on ebay for a similar. Looks like its 2015...

  Has happened to me, I would just give them a call and tell them exactly what has happened. Same situation has happened to me with an item 'delivered' with Royal Mail, I explained and they opened a case as not received whilst on the phone and was refunded a week or so after.

  I can never find the 'call us button' on the website so go into the automated assistant chat box and type 'speak to an adviser' they'll call you.

  Chelsea winning the second half having rolled over in the first. Lampard will take positives from that.
