chris1986 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 i had the exact same thing with a car a recently bought. was described as spares or repairs but in working order apart from fiff blow which they said. but the reverse servo's not working/dampers/pull start missing etc. didn't pay much luckily but still feel they should have mentioned it as from the pics you couldn't really tell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom56 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 thats what spare and repairs are all about. should have asked before it ended but we all learn from our mistakes as ivre won a faulty lg KG800 for a tenna and since i repair phones ive brought a cheep flex to fix the white screen and it arrived and it was faulty. so now ive orged a genuine flex but ive now lost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turner Boy Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 not really fair tho when the issues are down to buyer assumptions, put yourself in this situation, but your the seller, how annoyed would you be if you got negged?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hpi_matrix_stock Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 (edited) how annoyed would you be if you got negged?? Depends if they've been emailed about the problem. If anyone has a problem with something iv sold il simply ask them to send it back and il refund them. You could even try wangerling some compensation money from them for the problems. It was listed as spairs and repair so you can't really moan about the odd bit broken. Edited August 2, 2008 by Hpi_matrix_stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evoboy Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 id never buy a car that was listed as 'spares' and expect it to be in one peice. in my eyes, spares or repair also means sold as seen... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doom56 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 you can not complain if they said spare and repairs. as it means selling parts that some are ok and some not ok but if it said ready to go or needs a few parts then its ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antnee Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Anything sold as used is sold as seen unless stated otherwise (eg, car dealer offering a warrenty) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta05 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I got a beaten up tc3 from ebay once, it wasnt great (stripped screws etc) but I didnt pay much for it. If you are wary, ask the seller for some pictures to be sent to you by email before bidding and ask them of any known faults. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
appy Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 everything i buy on ebay i expect to have a fault or two that hasnt been listed if you have this attitude when biding then you wont be dissapointed when it arrives and hopefully it will be as described which would be a bonus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
