Sold a non running puma on the first Monday of January. Buyer came and left a large deposit (£290). Car sold for £500. And agreed to collect the following weekend. Now almost 8 weeks later it is still on my drive. Had a long line of excuses.

Last Sunday sold a chassis on ebay, next day get a message that he doesn't know when he can collect it. (stated on the auction that it had to be collected within 7 days) Its still in my garage.

Last Sunday i also had a buyer leave a deposit on my GSXR and agreed to collect it today. Guess what its still in the f*cking garage. His excuse is that he had to work. Called me 10 mins before he was due to collect it.

What the f*ck is it with people.

The excuses for the Puma have been so far fetched.

Uncle house/shed/garage etc has burnt down
guy was going to collect it for him ripped of his fingers/hand
roof of his house has blown off
and now his dad has suddenly died.
had other excuses but cant remember

FFS.

Rant over.

I wanted that car too was beaten to it!

Ive told him if it hasn't been collected by the end of tomorrow he will loose his deposit. And it will be re-advertised.

Tell them it's going back up for sale and the deposit is not refundable, they will soon be round. A friend of mine did some buying and selling to make a bit on the side and he took a deposit on a Jeep with the stipulation that it was to be collected in a month. He took 3 deposits on it in the end before one of the buyers finally came through with the rest of the cash.

Thats the problem with ebay. Full of the twats!!

Tell them they've got to get within a certain time or you'll keep the deposit and sell it, in future put it in your ads aswell that they'll have a set amount of time to collect or your keeping the money.

Yep.Still waiting for payment on one part i've had on. Gave benefit of the doubt........

Yeah it's going to be another stipulation on the adverts isn't it, along with "You bid to buy" No poo sherlock I thought I was bidding to look at it

My favourite one is no time wasters, nothing in the world could make me want to bother someone than those three words.
