........from some tosser on ebay who wants something for nothing just like all the wankers at bootfairs.
Hi
I received the item and unfortunately not satisfied with the condition of the router. The colour gone yellow from half of the router seems like due to heat or something.
You did not mention anything about it and describe the item in great condition, when you use word 'great condition' means every thing including colour etc is fine no fault at all.
Ofcourse router is working fine so i am not going to return it but this is my advice that next time if you put your item for listing then please describe exactly what it look like.
Thank you

Was going to tell em to shove it where the sun dont shine. but instead told em to send it back and i will refund the postage as well.
Its a half decent router for ten quid and the guy expects a new one ? The thing looks ok anyway to be honest dont it ?
I just had a Robert Carlyle moment and shaved my head:

Hey Pete,
Yeah there are some complete "££$%ers on there. I sold an Avo Insulation Tester/Megger that was described as
"spares or repair, and if nobody wanted it; it was off to the WEEE skip."
Sold for 99p plus p+p and the buyer never left feed back
Also the advert in this thread:
http://www.katanaownersclub.co.uk/forum ... f=6&t=1385" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
was posted up because the winning bidder failed to pay.
oh yeah, and welcome back to the Bare Hair Bunch

Cheers Jim. I need to calm down. Things like this just hit a nerve. The router might have been a little discoloured. Nothing major, and the bloke said it worked fine anyway. Didnt know it was a piece of art !
My kids nan has a indoor bootfair at her Hall (she is a caretaker) and i have had to stop doing a stall there because i was losing my rag too much with people. They all want to pay fucking peanuts for something. If i sell a kids toy for 50p i dont want to haggle over it !!!!!!

A mate of mine sold a broken gearbox for a car, described as 'completely f**ked needs total rebuild spares or repair only' Buyer complained it didn't work, and claim went through, and paypal found in favour of the buyer.
Some folks just need a slap.

why?.... he said he wasn't gonna send it back. if he returns it and you pay the postage then you're losing out to some tosspot

Dont care Steve. I would rather be out of pocket, and he would have to pay more for the same thing from someone else.

I'd have charged the wankel extra due to it being a "coloured" router
