I bought a crank of a fella on TMF. I asked if the taper was perfect with no marks and his reply was "All looks good no problems there."
I paid £20 for him to post it to me which he did but the taper is rusty and scored. also the bearing surface that the large end of the primary gear spins on looks like its been attacked with a chisel, there are large marks about 2mm deep in it. Obviously this cant be redeemed so I asked for my money back.
He is saying that "I asked questions, he answered them and I bought it as seen. "
Well I never actually saw it and he said the taper was good.
I say this blokes a thief. What do you think?

Yes a cavity search with a worn crank always gets the message across I find.

How you going to get your money back though fella?

if he doesnt pay up and paypal wont refund you.

Take him to small claims i know i would even if its just 50 quid, when he gets the letter through if he doesnt respond to it and pay up hes an idiot and deserves the cost of traveling up here and so on.
