Deal gone wrong

I'd be alright if the girl in the red panties was in the back.

 

Is it possible that it is a different seller? Or maybe he bought yours to replace one that he already had? I have a friend who bought an 87 to replace her 86 because all the farkles +cost of the bike were cheaper than her finding and buying the bike. It's a possibility.

To your original point, I completely understand how you feel. When I sold my Nighthawk, I turned away plenty of people that had cash in hand because I knew they would love the bike like I did. I finally found a kid fresh out of college that reminded me of myself. Everything about us was different except he was wanting to learn about being a rider. Not a biker. He had done his research and decided on the Nighthawk because of its merits. He looked at the bike with a sense of reverence. I knew right away he was the guy. I even took $300 off my asking price and threw in a tankbag to get him started on accessories. It's been a while, but he used to email me with updates and questions. I felt great about the whole thing. If I had found out that he trashed it or resold it, I would have been furious.

But like it has been said already, the deal is done and there is really nothing to do about it. Think about it like this: what would you be saying after a day of riding it had thrown a rod and he was yelling at you about the bike. Wouldn't you say that the bike was in tip-top shape when sold and it was no longer your concern?

Might sound harsh, but it is what it is.

 

Seeing that you know who it is, I would at least keep an eye out to
see if he is doing this to other people also. If he is then I think it would
be right to out him, if it looks to be a one time thing then don't worry.
If I'm selling or giving away something, I will give a better deal to someone
on the forum then someone on e-bay every time. I would hate to think
someone here was out to screw us.

I guess its like letting your daughter marry a dirt bag, you had allot invested in her. I get it but just think, maybe he lost his job, or his kid got sick -------- just a thought

 

Hey guys. What's up here? What is the issue? The seller and purchased agreed on a price and an item was sold. The seller has no claim on this "object" any more. We are not talking about someone watching out for their daughter marrying a scum bag. We are talking about a piece of machinery. Regardless of how we adore our bikes. If a seller wants to lay some claim to what happens to the item they are selling, after the sale, then that needs to be addressed before the final agreement. Either that, or maybe vejesse was just really not quite ready to part with this bike. It appear this is certainly part of it. But it has been done and the bike now belongs to someone else. If that person chooses to paint the bike to make it look like a purple leopard with pink spots, so be it. If he wants to sell tickets for people to take a bat at it, so be it. A sad thing I agree, but it is not my bike.

I understand people becoming very attached to possessions. If you are such a person, you need to really consider if you really want/need to sell you bike, car or whatever. And BTW, since when does a consumer become a misrepresentation. A seller may be, and I am not in anyway saying that is the case here, but the buyer can sing any type of hardship or goodie goodie position he chooses in order to purchase an advertised item. There is not even a hint of fraudulent behavior here.

vejessie may wish to start a new project bike and never look back at ebay looking for any hint of his former bike.

 

Stuke. Are those lemon cup cakes. They kinda make me pucker up.

 

When a scum bag asked to marry my daughter, he took off right after. No one has ever seen him again!:eyebrows::suspicious:

 

A deal's a deal, the guy can do as he likes with his stuff. That said, he should be outed so people will know what kind of person they're dealing with. Bottom line: if he'll BS to buy, he'll BS to sell.

 

I agree with most of you that have commented that a deal is a deal and the deal is done, however I have to side with Tink and cyborg, if the the buyer lied, let the world know. The seller has nothing to gain, but at the same time he doesn't owe the lying buyer any privacy. For me, lying is a step away from stealing. I say put his name and screen name out there. If cares to explain himself he can come on here and do so. I know I certainly would never want to do business with him.

I almost left this thread before boobs.

The bike is gone along with the parts. The question now is whether to out the dude who did the "dirty" deed or let it slide.

Spilt milk? Horse out of the corral? Cow eating grass? Et Tu Brute?

....and we ain't heard from the other dude either.

210 on the scale this morning..

 

Yea it's not what you expected. That's why expectations sometimes suck, cause you're always let down.

Now for the devils advocate side.

No matter how the guy represented himself is irrelevant. He has to be a risk taker. He bought a good bike at a fair market value the way it sounds. He's put out the money. Now he has to try and get it back plus money for his time and effort. So far it looks in the add that he doesn't even have a bid for what he paid for it yet. So his money is tied up right now and he may never get all his money back if he doesn't find the right buyer. Then comes the parts he took off to sell. He may set on them for quite a while or have to sell cheap in order to get cash flow from the bike.

It's very possible that he may never recoup his money and time in the bike. If he has the means to set on it and not worry about the money, he doesn't know at this time if he will make a profit or not. He could lose or just break even for the bike. Which means he still lost his time and effort in it. If this is a one time effort on his part it is foolish for the assumed price he paid for the bike($2100-2300?). If he has a bunch of these seller bikes he just might be making some money and must be worth his effort.

Either way it's his problem and you shouldn't be concerned with it or him. It's a done deal no matter what. Why keep hashing it over because the way he represented himself? It doesn't bother him, it's just bothering you. How's that working out for ya?

Let it go and enjoy other things in life, like those boobies!!!!!:boobies4:

 

Derstuka, You were doing great right up until that last picture.

 

Agreed. At that point it became awesome!

 

The dude might even sell all the stuff and the bike for some good bucks and buy a Harley.. Karma can suck.. Or he may get his wife a boob job that also includes Karmic endeavors.

 

that first picture posted #35 reminds me when I worked at the Renaissance Fair in the 80's selling Ale......ya me thinks more boobs.....notin like makin a man smile.....side tracked again damit

 

What the world needs is a boob flavored ale.

 

BadBilly - that thought was so goddamned brilliant I was completely blinded by awesomeness. I could see nothing except the marketing campaigns, mascots, magazine ads, TV commercials, meet and greet events... my god, it'll be beautiful!

 

This could go viral. Next maybe a boob flavored mead and we could call it Honey Booboo.
