Ekona Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 How is it underhand? They give you all their pricing up front, if you don't like it don't send them your phone. Dishonesty? Prove it. Not just your mate sent them a phone and they say it was broken and he said it wasn't, but actual proof. If you can't, then go look up libel in the dictionary.
keiran D Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 I don't have to prove a thing, I don't have to back up my opinions or experiences. I can argue against a post I feel is unfair and condescending, just because I'm not a member of your high post elite it don't mean I will just roll over and except it.
Ekona Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Yes, because everyone knows that post count is directly related to how correct you are. Internet rule number one, innit. You're quite right, you don't have to prove anything. That's pretty much how the Jesus fan club survives, and funnily enough I don't care much for them either. 1

Stutopia Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Unlucky BBK, it's one of them things you chalk up to experience and learn from. It's a bit dirty from them, but not unusual for those who prize profit above all and service as a waste of effort. They're totally in the clear, but with stuff like this I like to think karma does work its way around eventually. Don't get bitter, get better
Dblock Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 you got your big boy pants on, clever boy He is always like that don't worry Just mention mixed tyres and he might implode!

Toon Chris Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 I always use CeX (Computer excahnge). The prices online are clear, you can walk in the shop and they will examne it there and then. Prices are near the top although never the highest. Actually being in a shop does have some real advantages

Fodder Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 if anybody saw it. this company were just on bbc Watchdog. same thing thst happened to me. Yeah just been watching this. I've used Envirophone in the past and found them to be good and also Orange Recycle & Reward. Used envirofone and found them to be a much of cowboys. Sent phone in perfect condition, report came back that it was water damaged so offered me 10% of the original offer. Refused and got the phone back to find they had put a big scratch down the back which reduced the value I got from O2 who incidentally reported apart from the scratch the phone was mint. To be honest I think they are all as bad as each other

spursmaddave Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 I don't think its disgusting, if your too lazy to sell your phone on eBay or to a friend etc and see ££ signs then suck it up when you get ripped off... Sent from the Jaaaaaag at the golf club YAAAARRRRRRRPPPPPPPPPP great view on ripping people off, well done. Your welcome, if your stupid you deserve to get ripped off, don't see what your point is

Ekona Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Well, I take it back what I said about Watchdog not being interested, clearly they are. I didn't see the programme, so don't know how the data was collected, but I'll stick my hands up and say I was wrong.. Shady practices, but I do still maintain that it's always a risk using these companies for things like that, just like WBAC.
Stutopia Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Watchdog are interested in anything popular, it's not an indication of illegality, just that a decent size group of people "feeling" scammed. I still think Nicky could struggle to prove they have done anything illegal. Anywho, the simple rule is. If a company is too lazy to spell their name without resorting to substituting numbers for words or single letters for words, (see phones4u) they're probably too lazy to provide a decent service

It don't matter for what reasons people use such companies, wrong is wrong.
