Posted: 18:18 - 18 Jun 2017 Post subject: gumtree electronic item sold - opinion |
|
|
Hi guys,
What's your opinion on selling an item on gumtree for £30, testing it myself, sending buyer a video of it working, hand delivering it, them testing it in front of me, and got a text the next day saying it's rejecting their CD (cd player)?
I always just took the risk myself when buying items on gumtree. If it didnt work, then that's my fault for not testing it, or if i tested it, and it broke, then ah well.
The item i sold was stored rather than being used regularly, but was tested before selling.
Maybe I should take it back, or maybe they saw a better one and are trying to return it, or their CD is no good.
If it wasn't working when I tested it, it would have been binned.
Note, I delivered it to a buisness, so doubt they're scamming, unless they saw the better one in the area that came up for sale.
Should I bother, or am I just being too nice?
thanks guys. |

I tried to do everything right, took time to double check it was working before bringing it, also let him set it up and test it before doing the deal. I also drove there especially to drop it off. Even sent him a video on whatsapp of it working, and he even tested it in the shop after.
I bet it's just a shitty burned CD that's maybe scratched or something.
He didn't ask for a return, just said it wasn't working hinting at it.
Ah well, I'm dingying it.
Thanks guys.

Definitely a good tip polarbear. I actually met the seller face-to-face in his business, where he tested it in front of me and it worked perfectly.
I suspect he'd try bring it round for a refund if he picked it up from mine. |
Sorry, missed that bit. You did that, job done, Tell him to FO ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |
