just a quick gripe about another ebay fiasco
bought an orange patriot off of ebay, it arrived today wrapped in nothing but the shipping labels and the tracking number penned onto the frame in a red marker!!!! WTF'in FFFFFF!!
needless to say i was rather shocked. it was advertised as having " a few scratches". understatement of the milennia IMO. bubbling paint in numerous places, a fair few nasty paint chips and 2 dents, a rather sizeable one on the right hand side where i assume a set of triple clamps have been installed with no bumpers and one under the swingarm. needless to say it's going to need a fresh lick of paint, decals etc. to cap it all off i can't even build it up to test the shock properly as the mech hanger is missing a bolt, aswell as it being all kinds of bent.
it's cost me £165 all in, and have asked for a £100 refund as it's going to cost me around £80 i think, going off what my mates have payed, for a new lick of paint and whatever else for a mech hanger, assuming i can get one.
