Caveat Emptor

[Guest STEVE OXON]

hi guys,

recently sold my beloved robin hood 2b known as 'comfortably numb' to a chap from wisbech.

when he collected the car,with cash payment, his remark was

"i have taken 15 quid out for petrol, cos i forgot my wallet.will send you a cheque in the morning.

now three months down the line after several phone calls and texts......no cheque.

not a lot of money i know, but a deals a deal.

so if p***l g***g ever comes to a meeting or joins the hoodie fellowship....................BEWARE.

STEVE

 

edited name to give one more chance. promised a cheque again last night.....we'll see

Don't you hate stuff like that, some people... imagine going to pick up a car without any money or a card for petrol!

he"s a dog

[Guest crutch]

Same old story whenever you sell anything, if you let it go without the money all the good intentions dissappear. I have seen this break up even friendships. Trust nobody. Get the cash then release the goods. I know only £15 but i would have made him go home to get it. Teach him a lesson.

well,i gave him one more chance....still no effing cheque. so if PHIL GRIGG OF WISBECH EVER FONES ME AGAIN..................... i wont bother speaking to him.

so beware of dodgy robin hood purchasers in your area now.

 

rant over.

Interesting.......................

What a git.

 

Any pics of your car, I can 'wave' when I see him.

 

I am only 9 miles from wisbech and go through what can only be described as the home of

'family love' a few times a week.

Wait for it to clear first!

[Guest STEVE OXON]

optimistic. i dont think hes that clever............

[Guest TerryBarry]

See, one can have faith in one's fellow man.

Maybe he had to wait for his bank to send out a new cheque book

Shades of the Godfather. He didn't want to wake up one morning with an oily pinto cylinder head for company under the sheets.

The power of the Hoodie Fellowship.

maybe he needs some help with something on the car, came on here to check, and thought he better pay up before asking some questions!

[Guest STEVE OXON]
