Reneging on a deal! geez i hate that!
G'evening Patrol Trendsetters!
I now have had the unpleasant experience off three unscrupulous squeezers reneging on deals over the last two years! Has anyone else suffered a similar fate!
PS, I thought it was the Aussie way, that if you agreed on a price that was it. Not to bull-shite and fail to turn up to purchase the goods or fail to sell you the goods promised!
Regards,
RLI
The halls been rented the bands been paid, time to see you dance!

That s!cks mate, never had a bad experience yet buying stuff of ebay, but then again I wouldn't say I have bought a heap of stuff.
Are you selling on ebay / gumtree or just word of mouth through forums or friends???
Time is never wasted when your wasted all the time
WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
I've sold 3 cars on eBay and got annoyed at the I'll swap my dirtbike or 3x vl commodores and a 6 pack. Or when you say I'm taking the action price and you get wankers offering half what its worth before action end.
I just bought a gearbox off a bloke and kept msg him so he knew I was genuine. Too many tyre pickers out there
Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
Such is the rule of honour.
Im always hesitant to buy online and I have been caught out a few times selling gear. I think I will just use word of mouth from now it works out well aye macca86

Easy as. Thanks for that. Now here's hoping the mechanic can find time to finish it tomorrow so I can test drive and go to the farm for a shoot on the weekend

Pisses me off, I sold my Hilux 3 times and some lighting truss twice all in a 6 week period ????/
Have purchased 2 Patrols on Ebay without any problems. Just make sure that they have a good Rating.
G'day Trendsetters!
Case 1
My wife and I sold our home in 2003 on the Sunshine coast and went Vendor finance for a Real estate agent. This agent was well known at the time. In 2008 i had to repossess the property due to the prick failed to make any payments over 12 months. When the scum-bag finally went bankrupt the following monies were owed to the various parties;
1. 5 credit cards owed to Banks and a credit union $127,000.00
2. Tax office $105,000.00
3. Mercedes Benz Australia $ 63,000.00
4. Telstra $ 58,575.00
5. My family $ 50,000.00
I am still shaking my head how banks, the Tax office and Telstra allowed this prick to run up so much dept! Anyhow this scum-bag had to flee back over-seas due to poor health!
Case 2
As mentioned on a previous thread. In 2010, i purchased a Navara D22 from a squeezer in Sydney, I paid a deposit, organised an a flight from Coffs to Sydney, the prick confirmed he would pick me up from the airport. The night before i was due to fly to Sydney, the scum-bag gets his mother to call me and inform me that he accidently sold the car to someone else. After visiting this toe-rag and collecting monies owed, which his parents paid on behalf of there scum-bag son. I started to wonder, what has happened to honor,respect and loyalty when conducting deals.
Case 3
I sold a game fishing reel to a member of a fishing club, six months latter when the scrote had failed to pay me. I then had to repossess the fishing reel from one of his mates to whom he had sold it to. This prick has now fled Coffs Harbour living somewhere else. It turned out that this scumbag owed a lot of money to various people in and around Coffs Harbour.
I have to ask myself, why do people commit to deals when they no they cannot service there dept, why do people bullshit to folks and waste folks time by dishonoring an agreement they never intended to keep. Why cause grieve to themselves by being caught out to being a bull-shit artist and in some cases also end up being recipients by receiving a couple of gangster-slaps! I do not understand peoples logic!
Regards,
RLI

Greed and the "I'm the most important person in the world, therefore the world, and everyone in it, owes me" attitude. It's not a generation or ethnicity problem, just a sad sign of the times unfortunately.
There's probably as many theories as to why society is the way it is as there are instances of this crap happening.
Thankfully though there are plenty of people out there that still adhere to good old fashioned manners and mutual respect for people, whether in social or business settings. This forum is testament to that.
I've always liked a quote from a movie from a few years ago "be excellent to each other".
