what do you expect when buying or selling

[jf1970 328]

i bought a mk3 box + collar of a lad on here, the box works but the collar has never worked from day one, he said it worked when he sent it and that was that, i will never deal with anyone on here again.

ive bought a few things on here ,firstly i always get them to send me a contact number so i can call them to discuss price and hopefully knock a few quid off (i dont insult people with silly offers )and if i was selling something i wouldnt expect anyone else not to do the same .i then drive to see what im getting so i try not to buy things miles away (ive drove up to 100 miles for something if ive wanted it )i wouldnt send cash to a complete stranger unless they didnt mind me pming a few people who they were in regular contact with off the site to verify there good name ,if i was selling something i would be more than happy to supply someone with guys names who would give me a good refrence off this site .

why should anyone give out there home address and home number to a complete stranger? with so many hunters being targeted by anti's and thieves these days it seems stupid.

 

there is post of someones house being turned over for a rapid7 and it maybe someone who they knew so why give it to someone you dont know.

 

talk on mobiles and arrange a meet if it's that important to you.

 

i have kids and guns in my house so why would i risk it? i have stuff sent to my inlaws or friends house if i cant meet due to distance.

 

regarding dogs , whats the problem in putting in the motor and meeting at a nearby garage?

it does not mater if they have 1 post or 1 million posts, you are in your rights to ask for the details any honest seller would not have a problem giving those, i have sold on here many times and have always given any detail the buyer wanted.

 

having said this there is many people who will try and rob you if you are dumb enough to buy without plenty of info on the item you would like to buy as much as it pains me to say then you deserve every thing you get, times dictate that many people are dishonest hence the saying buyer beware.

 

i also find it hard to believe that a fellow shooter would try and screw another fellow shooter, we are systematicly being screwed by the Government the last thing we need is a fellow shooter doing the same.

maybe you should be a bit more careful , a fella only 5 mile from you had his house turned over twice and his guns stolen .. the police said apparantly its the time of year as the armed blaggers need to get some money for xmas

When you do a deal on an item and the price is say over the £100 mark, would you feel it was unreasonable for the buyer to ask for a land line contact number and a name and address and the buyer asking has a post count of over 150, i feel in todays times with all the scams going on especially on these sort of forums you must get as much info as possible, i personally have no problem doing this and feel if you both have a talk on the phone you feel a bit more confident that its not a scam and if it is you have the info to take the matter futher (ie: sent money but no item.)

I done this today with a member on here who wanted me to send him/her £250+ p+p through paypal, i asked for his/her details ie: phone No address and name and was told "this was a completely out of order thing to ask someone, consider this sale terminated"

I don't know if i was in the wrong and would like to hear your comments on this.

 

Nah mate you were quite right. I would need some contact details too. If not f**k off and sell it to someome else. I have been ripped off in the past on a well known auction site and it's a pretty shit feeling to be honest with you. Gotta look after yourself buddy. Quite right!

[scothunter 12,609]

You know its kinda sad actualy.I like this site and apart from a cpl of clowns and over sensitive folk the majority are sound,but its shit when we cant trust lads who share our own pastime.Ive seen a few lads been ripped off on here over the years and it is trully sickening.

WIth regards to buying a pup it's a tough one, i wouldn't have random folk to my yard to see dogs, but then i would never buy a pup from a fecking lay-by or car park, so the easiest way to solve that is not to buy or sell dogs with anyone you have not got some kind of friendship with. I won't even have folk here for a ferret kit.

i think you are being 100% right/sensible. if someone is genuinely sellingyou something then why would they care if you have their details. as obviously they have your details, for posting etc.

Money just to hard to come by in these hard times to be just throwing it away everyone should understand that..

Chimp just looked through your posts and yes 3000+ is a lot lol and see you have not bought much on here but looks like you buy/sell on that auction site ebay who have all your details and as a buyer i can request them without your say so thats providing you have given the correct information.

As for meeting someone you don't know and have no idea where they live and no contacted details can seems a bit stupid to, let just say i am going to buy a daystate airwolf with all the kit scope/bipod/pump at £1000 i get to this meeting point and three lads take my money and credit cards also give me a good kick in i go to the police and report it, whats the 1st thing thats going to be asked ? do you have a name/ address or any contact details, yes sir i have a mobile number, sorry mate we check the number and its a Pay as you go and have no name to the phone.

As for getting your house turned over, most peoples homes are turned over by someone who knows them or lives near bye, why would someone who lives hundred miles + away want to drive all that way to seal something and not know the lay out

At the end of the day i agree you should be careful, i did offer to give the seller references of people i have dealt with and who i have sent over £1000 worth of night vision to without the money in my pocket, but i had a name/address and a land line phone number and we talked on more than once also he was recommended to me, the deal went as it should and we were both happy.

best way is to list it as a sock on his ebay and you pay by paypal that way the money is garrenteed by ebay and paypal if you dont get what it is your buying then they give you your money back also if he wont give you his details then dont deal with him something must be up ie its nicked or something

can you read my pm's on here ? ive given ferrets , had guns off here and a motor but i doubt you will find a post regarding it

 

regarding ebay. it works both ways on the address front tho, someone must of bid on your item and if they then request contact info i can request theres.

 

i just think it could be inviting trouble over certain items and if it's a high value item maybe some wrong'uns wouldnt mind going a few miles.

 

just my opinion like
