Now he has found it damaged worse than he initially thought it is his responsibility to get it fixed, not Lee's. Yes its an unfortunate situation for the lad, but we've all been there and you learn from your mistakes.
i do agree with you,but we are on lee's side here thinking about his best options and long term possibilities,however wrong or right the bike is or what ever the buyer didnt or did do wrong if this gets listed in court lee cannot stop it,he will have to go to court and defend himself which will probably require a solicitor,this will cost him regardless of wheather he wins or loses.
name of the game is damage limitation.
