The Bounty Bar Kid

There is no law that states any retailer should take an item back due to it being unsuitable. A contract is formed between seller and buyer upon exchange of payment. Only faulty items are regulated by law. Go along with most of that BBK, but it's a bit of a sweeping statement. Formerly "distance selling", now Consumer Contracts Regulations, allow you to cancel many items within seven working days from the day after you recieve your goods. Sorry, I forgot about distance selling regulations in my answer. I tend to deal with non distance selling retail.

When you buy something, consumer law says the item must be fit for purpose. For example, a toaster must be able to make toast and a washing machine must be able to wash clothes. As well as being fit for their normal purpose goods must also be fit for any specific purpose that the seller told you they would be fit for. The law which gives you this right is called the Sale of Goods Act 1979. Ever heard of the term unsuitable? As in unwanted cos you've changed your mind. I do go on to explain faulty/damaged goods later.

Refurbishment???

Wrong. The contract is between retailer and purchaser. not retailer and the birthday boy. So they don't have to do squat. Also lol at some of the above. There is no law that states any retailer should take an item back due to it being unsuitable. A contract is formed between seller and buyer upon exchange of payment. Only faulty items are regulated by law. In the case of damaged/faulty goods, it's down to the buyer to identify these within a timely manner. Some businesses may take them back and honour a refund or exchange. but many may decide not to. this is down to the number of people who do it often and therefore we suspect all are dodgy. unfortunately the innocent get buggered but that's why you should check it asap. Where's the proof you didn't do it and are now trying to get one over them? Yes they dont have any proof it wasn't them but the law stands with them. They can't be expected to physically check every single item. An element of faith between the retailer and manufacturing company is required. It's down to the end user to make the final inspection and if a fault is found then the retailer will exchange and then give the item back to the manufacturer.

You selling up?

lucky you!

He's one of us

Go via insurance. It'll work out cheaper in the long run if you get screwed by them.

Great news but still consider getting cctv put up.

Something for sale? And that's what I was thinking the other day. Suddenly 34 posts in a short time, not been on the forum for over a year and finishing on 100 posts. Coincidence??? Mmmmm... Btw the I don't think any of the mods or admins were born yesterday, or in the last few years. Hell I'd even stretch to say not even in the last few decades! Maybe century for one!

I know he styled it on Cadburys purple so I'd suggest starting there.

He's banned. Don't ask why and he wouldn't give it out. He's very protective over it.

no need for ebay fees here, hence lower price. Just trying to say someone is gonna get a bargain.

Smudgeon had his purple colour custom made. Took a few attempts for his body shop to get it spot on to his liking.

GLWTS I'm putting up my 450d tomorrow on eBay to upgrade to a 70d. A low shutter count 450d like yours usually sells for £200.

What a tw@!

I'm working that weekend

Unless someone is selling their own custom one, you'll have to do the same. Buy hr one and get it painted in azure as they never came out in that colour.

Not bad, it's not a Ferrari though!

Worst episode ever, such a let down. Not funny at all. So not funny that I just fell asleep watching it.

Loving that idea!
