Finally, I got my account sorted so that I can post! OE CSL Bumper is all mine!! Thanks Gregor. :smt055:beer:

Stolen from under my nose - can’t say I am impressed!

Was organising shipping ect with my local guy and ready to send funds over then get a message to say this was sold despite being promised as first in queue.

Only an hour between messages also with seller also was putting kids to bed due to time zone difference.

Really unimpressed. Buyers beware!

Cheap as well!

I'll have the roof rails. PM incoming...

What was the price?

Sorry I feel I need to respond to this.

You can be sore that you missed out the bumper, that's fine. But saying "buyers beware" is simply out of order.

I have had a lot of 'interest' in my parts but the only metric I have for separating the serious buyers from those that are simply scratching their chin and having a good think is money hitting my PayPal account. I had an option of a no questions asked payment in full sale Vs someone expressing interest but with no payment made, not even a deposit.

I am sorry you feel cheated, but the fairest way for me to sell these items is that they go to the first person who puts up the cash. Simple.

Sorry you missed out NZ M3 you are a true gent.
I remember you saying you wanted the bumper almost straight away.
Do what I done just buy another csl.
All the bits in one hit.

I feel I need to respond to this also as it isn’t how this went down and I stand by my buyer beware comment.

It is not about being sore and losing out, it is about being a man of your words and you are unfortunately not sir!!!

Fair about wanting money in the account, and as a buyer also fair for me to ask questions first before I make that deposit which you requested to be “by gift” giving the buyer no recourse if it all goes tits up during shipping.

Your message to me was “you are first in line but I want this sold” without stating when you need me to make a decision by.

My immediate response to this was one last question before I send funds over - how much to ship to Brighton? To which you responded and again with no indication of a deadline but a put the money in the account and we will sort shipping out later - It was 8pm - ish my time when this all occurred, so I quickly messaged Alex (he can confirm this) to double check the pricing for shipping the bumper to me to NZ. I then even enquired with Alex if he could have his courier grab this for me from Scotland to which he replied he could. Given it was still early in the UK I figured I will get back to you before noon as I had to put two unruly toddlers to bed!

I noticed after I had done so and after all that arranging with Alex you had send me a message 42 minutes later to say bumper sold without even offering to say I need to make payment right now - not even a chance to do it.

I probably would go as far as to say you deserve a ban if I controlled this forum.
