We all love a bit of controversy on here. Well here's a name and shame with a twist. Myself as the seller pissed off with someone buying something off of me and being a complete pain in the arse for no reason.
I decided to break my track car into bits as I am saving a deposit for a house. I had the car transported to my good friend Gary (Gadget off of here) to break as I live in Germany and don't have the time etc to take it apart and sell the bits on.
The post goes up in the rs turbo bits for sale room clearly advertising that the parts are from a series one with pictures of the car and a detailed description etc.
A user decides that he might like the GRS intercooler and speaks to Gary who was dealing with the money, bits and postage etc.
The user has questions; these are answered etc etc. The user requires pictures. These are provided.
The user is very happy at the price and pays for it along with a quickshift.
Parts are extremely well wrapped up with an inch thick of cardboard wrapped round the cooler.
Everything arrives in mint condition as it was described and as in the pictures at what I think is a bargain price.
The now new owner is unhappy that in place of the GRS sticker is a Field Motorsport sticker and now believes that the intercooler isn't a GRS cooler.
Gary knows it is a genuine one as he has seen many before. I had it sent from GRS to Garys house when he built my cvh engine a few years ago as I lived in Northern Ireland.
Gary offers to get Graham from GRS to post him out a new sticker so that he can put it on the top of the intercooler where the original used to be,
To confirm that the cooler is a genuine GRS cooler; Gary says to the user that the S1 cooler is a different shape to the other coolers as it's for an S1 as it was advertised with about 10 odd pictures of an S1 at the beginning of the advert. Along with the massive description of the car!
It turns out that the user that bought the cooler owns a Fiesta RS Turbo.
Could it be that the user only owns a Fiesta Turba and not an S1 as the intercooler was clearly described for that use in the advert.
RS_SEG is his username.
He still insists that the intercooler isn't genuine when it clearly is.
Now we all love a bit of name and shame. But sometimes it's the sellers that have the nightmare to deal with
Perhaps it rurns out that you bought the intercooler that is clearly advertised for an S1 and you own a Fiesta RS Turbo and have found that it doesn't fit.
I am a very reasonable and fair man as the other buyers of parts of my car will hopefully confirm.
But is it up to me to investigate as to whether he owns a Series One Turbo before he buys something off me that is well priced and in great condition and clearly advertised for it's purpose.
We have accomodated everything to help this guy and yet he is still a pain in the arse.
I don't see that I should have to give a refund for him being a dimwit.
The cooler was a bargain and you'd get more for it if you sold it on!
