BAJA WILL has the right idea - its all part of doing business with the public - I would maybe put a post up and warn others. Retail does this mail-order/Internet makes it harder with shipping and packing. If it was an engine, I would be really upset or the amount was over say $200

What would Jesus do - what would Scooby Doo? Just do the right thing, it will come back to you

That being said, I see in the classifieds here all the time, and many parts/motors/drives are waaaayy over priced to be used.:evilb:

Definition of used - (good thread idea) - used means 50% off PERIOD

They own it. If it was something small fine. but $20k is substantial and they knew what they were buying. Not your problem his wife has him by the balls....:drink:

Sounds like buyers remorse. That is not a good reason for you to take something back. If nothing was wrong with it and the only reason he wants to return it is that he just doesn't want it or changed his mind, then he needs to sell it. If there is a problem with it, or it was misrepresented, then you should take it back or negotiate a new price for it.

You can do your good deed by putting other prospective buyers in touch with the new owner.

You face a little tougher situation because selling things is your business. But you have to draw a line.

I would do everything you can to help him sell it now... If he was willing to pay for it and you had more interested... Then let him advertise it and you will do all that you can to help him sell it. Why should you take the cost of re-advertisement, shipping, storing.. etc.. Just be a good person and help him get rid of it.. maybe in his advertisement he can put your info to help him sell it.. You have the info on the product.. That way your not stuck with it and more costs...

Ditto.

And I will add, if its a high $$ item, then they should have inspected it themselves before purchasing it. I wouldn't take it back unless it was a stipulation of the sale spelled out in a written contract.

The buyer has the option to resell the item if he so desires.

What happened here? All these are very logical answers!! :drink:

Fortunately all my used parts went to good guys for good prices and everyone is happy. I was just wondering....

BAJA WILL 01-27-2009 01:19 PM

I also want to add to my earlier post,

I have seen many posts, and short time OSOers, post chit, say its in good condition, and then its crap.

Lets be honest if you can afford this sport, you are smart enough to know if you stuff is crap or quality. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANYONE COMPLAIN ABOUT A USED PART EVER, because I inspect it and know its quality, if its crap I give it away or toss it.

What do you do when parts are returned and they are not anywhere near the condition you sent them out??

Unreal!!

This then promotes legislative entities to create laws to protect us from ourselves eliminating even more personal responsabilties and fess up for your acts and contracts.

GLH hit the nail on the head with this one.
