EBay is all about protecting the buyers. I just accept that as part of it. Even when listing an item as ‘for parts or not working’ they protect the buyer. I sold a model railway power supply as such a couple of years ago and the buyer complained that it didn’t work, wanted refund etc. Would not...

This was talked about recently, I sell a fair amount on eBay and use BIN with best offer for 99.9% of stuff I sell. The main reasons are; Fees - they often do 80% off weekends. Choice - when you get an offer you can decide whether to sell it to that person or not. One downside is that when doing...

In my new garage that is integral to the house I’m trying to keep it as tidy and clean as possible. Before I started moving stuff in I painted most of it white (except for the feature wall). Biggest things since are buying three big filing/stationary cupboards to keep organised and improve light...

We have one for ‘work’ in a big yard with CCTV and someone almost always there, 24hr security (XPO West Hallam if anyone is interested, £1600 inc vat p/a) to store all our equipment in but it’s also handy for my growing collection of incomplete bikes and assorted junk. Two things to bear in...

Sounds good - make some crap stuff, talk someone else in to sell it on your behalf and when the muck hits the fan you’re sat on a beach somewhere while the middle man takes all the flack. I definitely must be missing something, perhaps my new diet is to blame.

Found this crank in a box of spare parts and have absolutely no idea what it is. Looks like an astronaut to me, the left arm is a bit scruffier where it’s reacted to moisture or whatever.

I’m aware of these rights, but what I’m not aware of is the right of the manufacturer to only honour a 2-year warranty and leave the retailer to pick up the pieces.

But then what does the dealer do?

How can you expect the retailer to be responsible for your bike repairs for up to 6 years when the manufacturer only gives a 2-year warranty?

Well done on freeing it, I don’t like being a smarty pants but that spanner is the wrong way around, if you were pushing down on it and could have slipped off. I’m off now to hide behind my sofa 😆

As said, my preference would be to tidy it up and centralise it but it would make it bigger, or just put a good quality sticker over it, maybe a little plaster?

That looks pretty good.
