HI, I'M A RECENT MEMBER OF THIS SITE, WHICH I TRY NOT TO SEE AS JUST, A BUY/SELL, OR SWAP SHOP, BUT AS A PLACE TO COME, FOR ANY HELP AND ADVICE, AS I GENUINELY FEEL THERE ARE A LOT OF KNOWLEDGEABLE PEOPLE HERE, THAT ARE ONLY TOO KEEN TO HELP SOMEONE LIKE MYSELF, AND OBVUIOUSLY KIND ENEOUGH, TO GO OUT OF THEIR WAY, TO KEEP ANOTHER MEMBER, EITHER FROM SPENDING MONEY UNNECCESSARILY, OR OFFER & PROVIDE, SENSIBLY PRICED REPAIRS OR PARTS.
THE REASON FOR THIS MESSAGE, IS THAT LAST WEEK, I PUT MY OMEGA ESTATE ON EBAY, DESCRIBING WHAT I THOUGHT WAS WRONG WITH IT, AND I ALSO MENTIONED, THAT ONE OF THE PROBLEMS, WAS A KNACKERED RADIATOR.
I STATED IN THE AUCTION, THAT I'D ALREADY PURCHASED A RADIATOR FROM SOMEONE ON AN OMEGA SITE, AND THAT IT TOO WAS FOUND TO BE DAMAGED, WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT IN THE CAR.
I HAD QUITE A FEW EBAY MESSAGES ABOUT THE CAR....
ONE MESSAGE FROM A VERY KIND CHAP CALLED ALBS, WHO SEEMED CONCERNED ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT RADIATOR, AND HOPED I HADN'T BEEN SCAMMED BY WHOEVER I BOUGHT IT OFF...'HE SEEMS A VERY GENUINE BLOKE, AND I WAS GRATEFUL, FOR HIS CONCERN'.
I CLARIFIED IN MY REPLY TO ALBS, THAT THE PERSON I BOUGHT THE RADIATOR OFF, 'DARTH LOO-KNEE' DIDN'T SCAM ME, OR STITCH ME UP, HE EVEN OFFERED TO FIND, AND SEND ME A REPLACEMENT A.S.A.P.
BUT I DECLINED, AS ON CLOSE EXAMINATION OF THE RADIATOR, I BELEVE, IT WAS DAMAGED, IN BETWEEN THE TIME, IT LEFT 'DARTHS' PLACE, AND WHILE IT WAS BEING TRANSPORTED TO MINE...!
EVEN WHEN I FOUND THE DAMAGE, AND PHONED, DARTH TO TELL HIM I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS HIS FAULT, HE STILL OFFERED TO REPLACE IT, AND EVEN OFFERED ME A FULL REFUND, BUT I SAID NO..! AS AFTER SPEAKING TO HIM, IT WAS OBVIOUS A GENUINE UNDAMAGED RADIATOR, WHICH HE SPENT TIME AND MONEY REMOVING, AND FLUSHING OUT, IS WHAT HE HAD SENT ME. THE DAMAGE WAS CAUSED DURING DELIVERY, AND NOT BY HIM.
I'VE FOUND DARTH LOO-KNEE, TO BE NOT ONLY FRIENDLY, POLITE, & HELPFULL, BUT I WILL CERTAINLY BE HAPPY TO PURCHASE PARTS, OR REPAIRS FROM HIM, AS AND WHEN THE NEED ARISES. AND THE SAME GOES FOR ALBS, ANOTHER RESPECTABLE MEMBER OF THIS SITE......
NOW FOR THE SHITTY BIT...!
ALONG WITH THE MAILS I GOT ON EBAY, SOME idiot, THAT CLAIMED HE WAS OFF HERE....SENT ME A MESSAGE, RANTING ON ABOUT FEEDBACKS, AND CLAIMING I'D ONLY PAID £83 FOR MY OMEGA ELITE ESTATE, AS HE SAID, THAT HE'D READ THE WINNING BID OR SOMETHING.
I REPLIED, AND POINTED OUT, THAT THE CARS OWNER, AND MYSELF HAD DONE A DEAL, ON THE DAY I VIEWED THE CAR, AND THAT HE HIMSELF STOPPED THE BIDDING AT WHATEVER IT WAS, AS THE CAR WAS ALREADY SOLD. HE TOLD ME WHEN I COLLECTED IT, HE'D PUT LOADS OF PEOPLE OFF, AND SOME WERE A BIT PISSED OFF...'TOUGH'
I THOUGHT THAT WAS FINE, AND EVEN OFFERED THE PREVIOUS OWNERS DETAILS, SO THAT HE COULD CHECK IN CASE IT AFFECTED HIS DECISION WHILE BIDDING ON THE CAR.
HE OBVIOUSLY SAW THE AD WHILE THE BIDDING WAS STILL GOING ON......
THEN I GOT A REPLY WITH SOME MORE SARCASM, AND REMARKS, WHICH I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND, AS WHEN I CHECKED THE BIDDERS LIST FOR THE CAR ON EBAY....
HIS NAME WASN'T EVEN ON IT.......
SO WHEVER YOU ARE.....2 THINGS.
1) IF YOU'VE NOTHING BETTER TO DO, THAN SLAG SOMEONE OFF BY EMAIL, WITHOUT HAVING opps ALL TO DO WITH THE AUCTION, APART FROM OF COURSE, YOUR ABILITY TO READ THE oppsING ADS, THEN LEAVE WELL ALONE.....IF YOUR THAT STUCK FOR SOMEONE TO BITCH ABOUT, I'LL GIVE YOU MY EX-WIFES DETAILS......
YOU'LL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY, AS SHE WAS ANOTHER idiot, THAT SPENT ALL HER SPARE TIME SLAGGING OFF PEOPLE SHE KNEW opps ALL ABOUT.....!
SHIT....! I'LL EVEN PAY FOR YOUR HONEYMOON.....!
IT WOULD BE A PLEASURE WAVING YOU BOTH OFF...!
2) MY DAD TAUGHT ME, TO TRY AND BE FAIR TO EVERYONE, AND NOT JUDGE PEOPLE ON FIRST MEETINGS, OR APPEARANCE, AND HELP WHEREVER, AND WHENEVER I WAS NEEDED......
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY...
HE TOLD ME, NEVER TO FALL OUT WITH ANYONE, UNLESS I KNEW I WAS IN THE RIGHT, AND HE ALSO SAID, BEFORE YOU GO FALLING OUT WITH ANYONE, MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT SORT OF PERSON YOUR DEALING WITH, AND EVEN IF YOU CAN'T ALWAYS PICK YOUR BATTLES, YOU CAN USUALLY PICK YOUR BATTLEFIELD.
THEN IF YOU HAVE TO FIGHT....DON'T JUST FIGHT.......
WIN....!!
SO IF THE idiot WHO SENT ME THOSE SARCASTIC EMAILS, IS ON HERE, AND YOUR READING THIS....THEN AN APOLOGY WILL BE FINE, AND WE'LL PUT IT DOWN TO EXPERIENCE.....
IF ON THE OTHER HAND, THE EMAIL CAME FROM SOMEONE THAT JUST CLAIMED TO BE OFF HERE...
THEN MY APOLOGESE TO THE REST OF THE SITE, AS UP UNTIL THIS INCIDENT, I HAVE HAD THE GREATEST RESPECT, FOR THE SITE, AND THOSE ON IT. I'VE HAD GOOD HELP FROM DECENT PEOPLE.
AND I HOPE IT CONTINUES.....
THAT'S MY LOT....BYE.
