PostPosted: 00:17 - 27 Nov 2007    Post subject: BCF member bish 777 Reply with quote

I purchased an XJ600 from Bish777 on the 31st of March this year, on route to collecting the bike he informs me that the bike has had the front disc brake, caliper hoses and bolts removed from the left hand side, however he would include them in the sale (at the agreed price).

It was only when I got there that I was then informed that the parts were at his 'friends' house and he would have to post them to me. With him being a BCF member I accepted this.

I have contacted him approximately once every couple of weeks since purchasing the bike and he has always replied that 'he's getting it sorted'.

It has been EIGHT months since I bought the bike now. I think I have been far more patient than most people would have been. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt... but after EIGHT MONTHS I have had enough of been polite.

So, the purpose of this thread - Does anyone know him off here? perhaps they can give him a helping hand in posting these pretty major parts to me before the bikes due its MOT.

Sorry to rant- but COME ON BISH777

Some PM's below off him. He clearly had good intentions, but since I sent him a pm about posting on the forum he hasn't been on!

I get the feelings he is avoiding me.

You will find that he has bigger problems than sorting you out.
Some times you having the parts can mean very little to someone that
has bigger things to sort out.
You should have cut the price of the parts off the price you paid for the
bike and paid that when you got the parts.

Paddy.

If Bish had bothered replying with a reasonable explanation rather than ignoring me, I may have been satisfied. At the moment he has my money and I have no parts, I fail to see how I am at fault.

Are these problems so huge that he can't put a cheque in an envelope in 8 months?!

I can imagine some problems whereby he might not be able to for a couple of weeks or something, but 8 months?

I'm not saying you were at fault but you could have saved your self hassel
by knocking the price of the parts off what you paid until you got them.
Just because some one is on BCF does not make them a more secure
seller than any where else.

When you're standing in someones house who seems genuine enough and you've spoken to them on here you expect them to not be such a cunt. If he's got major problems that last 8 months then he should've told Mike, he isn't an arse and would've been understanding if it was a serious problem. BCF used to be a community where people trusted each other, it obviously can't be like that anymore when you get idiots doing stuff like this and rather than just own up and say he's lost the parts or even that he can't be arsed he just kept fobbing Mike off with excuses.

How you can defend someone who has blatantly ripped someone else off is beyond me, when the bike was collected Bish said the parts would be a couple of weeks, I don't know how many days he has in his weeks but I think 8 months is taking the piss.

Awesome, cheers Matt. If you can go one better and get the parts off him, I will make it worth your while to post them up to me. I'm pretty desperate for them.

As much as i'd like to believe that there is some overwhelming force that has prevented Bish from posting them to me, I just can't quite imagine what though.

Indeed, 8 months is a complete piss take... Confused
