What was the location…?
Beirut Amusement EmporiumWhat was the location…?
Dunno but I left Robert Shaw looking after it. He told me he'd look after it for me. Never saw him or his boat again. The pin washed up though and is in great shape needing very little.What was the location…?
Solicitors and court actions take time. Give it a few months. Once Maxwell is free of that cell they'll move you into there. I'd say open for window for a while but there isn't one....
Hopefully you don't mind Adam but I'm going to carefully talk about this in the podcast tonight unless you have any objections?
Absolutely fine with me Mate to cover Funhouse 1.0 Rudy’s Real Nightmare !
Just make sure your lawyers are ok with it we don’t want you ending up at the Old Bailey over this

Eventually I would start a small claims court case against him. He will fail to turn up for it and then, if found in your favour, he will probably still not cough-up and you can get bailiffs to collect the outstanding amount.
Initially you may like to think about returning the machine and fully documenting why it has been returned but take advice from CAB or (if you have home insurance) you may find they have a legal helpline. These legal help services can be used for advice from a legal representative to find out exactly what steps you should take.
In any case you should write to him with a recorded letter stating why you are proposing to return the item and allowing him 14 days to respond. After that go for him but be prepared for it to drag out over many months. For £3k+ I reckon it's worth the effort.
[Edit] The key to dealing with people like this is to let them hoist themselves over the coals. Record every incident and log it all down on a time-line with facts, photos and correspondence.

Right this is a rollercoaster.
You're not going to win a Libel Case against anyone if people say what they feel is true, that's not Libel. It's intentionally saying someone you know to be false.
In regards to small claims court, I don't think he's going to get a refund unfortunately. It's hard to prove that it was intentionally misrepresentation of Sale. The one big thing is a screenshot of very good condition and to a reasonable person, this machine most likely meets that description. SCC is relatively costless if you represent yourself. Worth taking up.
What’s stopping you going to his with game in the back of your car and sorting this out on his doorstep?
Speaking from personal experience if you notify the local police in advance of the situation and that your simply going for a peaceful resolution as he is ignoring you via phone contact they likely won’t even send a car if he calls the local bobbies.
People like this “scumbag cowards” which I believe to be a true description of the seller
usually act very differently when it’s in person face to face compared to over text or any sort of keyboard.

The bloke is a utter scumbag, doing something like this to a member on here, we don't need people like this in this forum.
A good old tarring and feathering is due here for Mr Tw@
Have we got a name for this guy so we know who to avoid on Facebook, eBay and everywhere else?
Nigel Ross
Not seen that name so far. Seen a Ross H, so good to rule him out.
A hammer and 36V Makita Chainsaw are all a man could ever need. Overalls and disposable gloves too I suppose.
You could easily fix that Funhouse up with those *Disclaimer
That would be useful
You can simply click on a sellers name and look at all of their previous forum interaction. It’s a quick and easy way to check if they’ve sold or bought before, you get a vibe for how much input they have to this forum. That’s a good first step.
I have traded one via PM and donated, but we both sent each other lots of pics and I sent videos and arranged what's app going through the condition in detail, without a PM on the off chance we both would not have got the pins we both wanted
@Ads Nems - I can not believe I am reading this. Having had time away from this group due to other important things in my life I am really amazed that the seller has just not done the right thing.
At the moment I have all the forms filled in to take another forum member to small claims court. I will be going thru with this legal action as it is more the principle and not the money!
www.which.co.uk
Has the seller got any money? By the sound of it they do not.
Have you considered approaching the seller for a partial refund that would maybe take the cost of the machine down to where it should be (I would personally want £1500 back) ?
I am sure you just want this put behind you, move on and enjoy this hobby.
In the 'ideal world' you should not have to consider doing any of this. The seller could just simply refund you, even if he has to sell on Family Guy - or if it's a route you want to take, a partial refund.
The thing with court cases is it will drag on, wind you up and it will more than likely not be heard for months. You also have to have papers served to him from his local court - so when you attend, you will have to go to his local court and be put out even more. Add some more costs for fuel, hotels, time off work etc.....
In reference to the last point, I am incredibly stubborn and would more than likely ignore my own advice.
Karma is also a wonderful thing as mentioned lots of times on this post.
Whatever you decide to do, I wish you all the best with it. Thank goodness this is an isolated case.

What are my rights when buying second-hand goods? - Which?
If your second-hand goods aren’t good enough, you could be entitled to a refund. But it depends on if you bought your items from a retailer or an individual.

The sad thing is, it's really not though
If you are buying anything in the region of, let’s say…3.5k upwards 2nd hand do you feel 100% comfortable doing so with some photos and a discussion?
If so then go for it.
I travel all over the country on a regular basis. I don’t get a nose bleed with a bit of travel out my area so it’s worth to go look at potential purchase whether a car, pin or anything else.
I remember I bought a car blind once for the Mrs without seeing it from a reputable garage.
I got them to agree in writing that it had never been in ANY accident prior to delivery from Sheffield.
They drew everything up.
It got delivered.
Mrs all excited, within15 mins of drop off I noticed it had a rear panel replaced.
I kept the car, but got a good enough discount via my written disclaimer after they explained it was a staff car and the receptionist was a bit crap at reversing.
They showed me the in house repair invoice etc…. So all was well and I accepted that.
Were they 100% honest as a seller?

Wow, Just found out about this thread by listening to the latest chinwag.
When? 15 years ago?
You horrible deceiving **cker !
I felt really bad about passing on the demolished man to @newdos but I helped out wherever I could in his restoration. Even taking his ramps to get riveted and returning them the same day.
