ebay wonder!

[wilf]

got a call to a WMA63 no motor action motor looked like it came off of a scrap heap, bolts missing etc when I asked where it had been kept it turns out they’d bought it off of ebay £60 and had to fetch it from 100 miles away and it had apparantly managed one wash
“But it was a silver one like we wanted”
when I asked if they’d seen it running before buying they said it was waiting wrapped in plastic on the sellers drive. they trusted the “good feedback” and the supposedly “just been repaired”
I repaired the dodgy motor harness which might well have been the reason it was ditched
my question is this, why will joe public accept this sort of thing from car boots and other non trade outlets and yet would “know their rights” from a proper outlet?

The public never cease to amaze and delight with stupidity. 😉

I often tell people, more than 90{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of appliances are only changed because they were/are broken… think about it before buying a second hand one.
