I agree but I also think it should open, it shows people how the committee taken action, I would like to keep it on the boards... Short term...Quote:

We can be seen to be doing something rather that giving yet more time to the club that no-one knows about. I, at least, give enough hours a week as it is.
One thing we can do is apply a ban to the classifieds as we're having to do more and more.
I think that this thread may have got this situation moving more than would otherwise be the case. Maybe there will be a friendly outcome rather than a court case, costs and bailiffs.
I also think that now the aggrieved party has joined we can at some point move the thread to a members only section such as classifieds negative feedback.
Though I would not have seen this were it not in General chat as the new thread was marked in the boards view when I had a quick look there.
Or just stop the classifieds and use eBay only... No risk to the club, no need for us to get involved when things go wrong ( personally on this issue alone have spent 1 hour of my time copying adverts, texting both parties trying to get them to resolve it)...Quote:

Seems odd that a very similar thread was locked down a week or two ago, yet this one is left open?
Anyway, my point is that all of rtoc should only be accessible by fully paid members.
Or just not have a comments section positive or negative, use for sale and wanted at your own risk? Why do the committee have to police it atall. Deal with it as if it was an add in the paper and the buyer a d seller deal with each other, and the police and courts of needed?
Pissed off with all this, logging onto Rtoc and live and seeing garbage.
Members only classifieds End of

We can't have people ripping off members so when we get a complaint we have to get to the bottom of it in case we need to ban the seller in order to protect the rest of the membership.
We've had many dodgy sellers. We've sometimes helped to resolved the stand off and get the 'victims' money back. Previously the club has successfully litigated to recover members money from a group buy.It's a bit random depending on what committee or moderator is around. We are few in number and busy.Quote:

Of course it is. The seller is a member and the complaint is about the seller.
This is a private members club and we want to provide as safe a classifieds as we can. This is a service to members.
If it wasnt sold through rtoc and the chap wasn't a member I really don't see why it has anything to do with rtoc?
I might be being dence here but you guys do this for free, get annoyed by doing it, don't want to have to do it so why do it. Could save a lot of time and effort by making it a but at your own risk thing.
If it gets to the point where it's "buy at your own risk" then anyone buying items that need to be posted can and will be ripped off with no come back .
Eg I advertise a gt28 roller bearing turbo, done 50 miles. Post pictures, description. Buyer gets a knackered t2
Where's the come back?
You put trust in people, otherwise no one would buy anything.
For serial 'bad sellers ' then yes the club should police it and help resolve but this looks like a honest sale that has turned sour .Who is at fault is any ones guess .
I've bought stuff that wasn't all it could be but I don't expect someone else to pick up the tab or resolve it for me .
I haven't asked anyone to resolve it for me, clearly to alert everyone.Quote:

Good luck to you both!
It's not just that thread it's others too but definitely on the open forum, if you came here and that's what you were greeted with why would you join, that's why it's titled disputes in open forums.
It's also the replies to the post, shows what the members are like!!!
To alert everyone of me , nice....iv helped a lot of people with parts and sorting group buys. Let people make of it what they will. Your attitude dont help. This is defently between me and you . You didnt buy it from the club . It was done over the phone and you viewednand brought. I told you I was unsurenon the engines internals and still feel iv done no wrong. If the club isnt happy with this then end my membership. Iv not lied .......Quote:

Unsure, that word has been mentioned a few times yet clearly stated in the advert as forged? If unsure then why advertise? Do your homework before putting said item up for sale?

You said you were unsure on the rods, hence you not advertising that they had been replaced. Club or not, I brought the engine via the ad, you advertised the engine, I have the advert as proof. Oh and I see you changed the story about the shell.
I thought it had been moved and closed? I have Pm'd scott and await his reply
that was the thread you started not this
I have sent Scott a PM, Im happy to not post anymore, public or not as long as he replies.

Boils my ****ing blood when ****s rip off people in this manner :mad:
If your unsure of something to don't try and blag it, especially if your selling something as a premium product.
Do the correct thing and take the engine back and give a full refund..
rtoc gold once again.
Hardly a fecking surprise is it...

Face it mate. I think everyone has worked it out. Your not getting a refund anytime soon as he doesn't have the money anymore. If he did I'm sure he'd rather this all went away.
I personally like the fact it's left in the open. It was advertised on here aswell with forged pistons listed and any member could of brought it and be in the same position now.
Too many things these days are covered up.
This will kick other people up the arse to make sure what they sell is what they say and it will make buyers more vigilant in buying expensive goods.
I wouldn't like to be in the same position and then find out the seller had previous issues that had been deleted.
If possible can the issue be left open? so everyone can see how the matter is resolved. If its resolved well, then it shows the clubs spirit. if it ends badly it will only affect the seller and buyer involved with future sales
are people missing the point of my thread?
keep it open YES
put it in the right section YES
have the open dispute in the only section where potential members can view? NO
that's why i started this thread, not as a continuation of it or another place to discuss it, its still there to view and comment on.
i know it has now been moved but do people think it should be allowed in the open forum or members only?

The reason for me putting it there was because it was the only place I could post, Personally I think it should of stayed there for people to see, everyone talks about how good the club is, people are in the club and that people are there to help and supply parts. I think it would soon get around, that after paying for a membership it was found that it wasnt the case.Quote:

Yea I want it to go away , I wanted both views put across and some feedback from people .not bs remarks. The money will be sorted just fine. Im talking with dean on some arrangment and have started getting more info on who I got itmfrom . Dean s sent messages from the original guy to him and has forwarded them to me. Would appear iv been done over. Seen his original advert . Hopefully this will be sorted.Quote:

I believe he is going to use it on his build now, should be a good build thread so keep an eye out for that one.
Thanks for the clubs help on sorting this out quickly and everyone who helped. :)
Glad it all got sorted with minimal fuss! ;)
