WOW Saddle on eBay not as described

My ass was a genuine typo, but I left it in for humorous effect ;)

Who doesn't enjoy a hell mouth, a remarkably athletic teenager, her goofy mates and their werewolf / cursed vampire / preying mantis love rs. And, of course, the delightful tweed wearing librarian...


ETA, this may be one of the most extreme thread hijackings I've ever been involved in...

hahaha! Yes, but we are notorious for randomising threads into pure bizzarness,

Spike... don't forget good old spike who died to save the world as we know it... dear of him

True. Together we have driven this thread through satanism, naked dancing, hell mouths and dearest Spike. It doesn't yet hold a candle to Men in Jodhs...
 
I just can not understand how the OP can be held responsible for the seller's wife having to relive the pain of not being able to ride again. Utterly bonkers. So, if YBCM had never raised the issues regarding the saddle, then the lovely wife of the lovely saddle seller would have never given her condition another thought?

Utterly bizarre.

I think YBCM should pay for the sellers wife to have therapy to get over the trauma caused by this thread
 
I think the seller's wife should sue YCBM for emotional distress and damages to the quality of her dinner party conversation...
 
I now realise that my dinner parties are woefully inadequate. I have completely omitted to invite any QCs. Criminal psychologists have not even occurred to me.

Plus, I have never thought to discuss my ebay listings. I should hang my head in shame.

What about paying for the damages to that sofa cushion which may or may not be creased?

I presume the sofa cushion will also be suing for defamation of its straight and true character...

How very unimaginative of you.
 
Eh?

I mean really, Eh?!

I leave HHO alone for a wee while and this is what happens.

Barking.

OP was trying to help. Seller was trying to help. QC's wife was trying to help. Crimnalogist (sp!), or was it psychologist, I forget, was trying to help, half the medical profession was trying to help... So, the net effect, in reality, and without a thought for ad naseum et al (that's the extent of my Latin, I'll have to ask D1 for more), is that it's a thread that shows the helpfulness and Christmas spirit of all, so we can move on happy in the warm glow of the season.

The only thing contunation of this angst should be concern that my weekly chocolate bar melted on my trousers whilst I tried to remember how to spell 'naseum'. Bobber.

Get real !!!! so the OPs original rants were not over dramatic . I hope you never get put in the same situation if you advertise something. We get it all the time on here bitching comments about others adverts when the OPs have no interest in the object apart from something to ridicule it doesnt show the perpetrators in a good light or indeed those who seek to join in . Its kids playground stuff!!! This sort of activity does draw a very fine line that when crossed could lead to legal action.
Oh and on the subject of ebay you totally believe what is in the description of every article and everybody is telling the whole story( even if its an honest mistake) do you really feel the majority are that naive or maybe just you. Good luck when you try and get your money back!

Chill out popdosh. Yes, the OP was a bit dramatic too, although I would say exaggerated in that they put an intent that was not there but not wrong in that the listing was not clear and straightforward, so no I don't think there is room for legal action at all (or only unsuccessful one, plus no name was given at any point so what's the fuss really? and who knows what OP is going through as well? A bit of sympathy both ways really).

I do sell and buy lots on e-bay, sometimes expensive items, and yes I have refunded people or have been refunded when the item has not been accurately described. It happens, you just put it down to experience and accept that you will be loosing the cost of postage and e-bay fee. E-bay works on an auction system that makes time an important parameter, I have sometimes decided in the last minute of the auction to buy an item worth several hundreds of pounds and it is absolutely the gist of it. Of course if the item doesn't work for me I don't return it (I just sell it on with hopefully more info about fitting and have 100% feedback too :) ), but if it is because of wrong info in the listing yes I absolutely return it and have my money back.

I would just like to inform everyone that I had a dinner party the other day we were not discussing this thread because I had not seen it then, but at the party we had a child studying at primary school, a farmer, a groom/riding instructor, a stay at home mum, another person (not sure what he does) and a psychologist who is also a paralegal and specialises in bailiff law (ok, that was me). I have to say OP, perhaps not your best post, and yes, it did come across a bit venomous and as if you were 'on a mission'. However, the seller was a bit off the wall too... Im sorry (seller) that you are poorly, Im glad you have a great husband and friends... but really name dropping... so crude!

Question is... Did you try to help?

This will be my one and only post on H&H. I posted the advert for the WOW saddle on eBay in all good faith and have this to say to "ycbm" the OP who initiated this unnecessary thread, which I would have known nothing about had it not been for another eBay user alerting me to its existence:-

Frankly you are in my opinion the kind of person who gives the horse world a bad name and causes the kind of jealousies we will see up and down the country in a few days time at the Boxing Day Meets.

Whether we sell the saddle or not is irrelevant, I am far more concerned at the distress you have caused my wife in having to re-live the agony of having to give up riding due to arthritis. I am also extremely annoyed at your defamation of my character and probity on a public forum.

You asked a question as to the age of the saddle through eBay and I replied 5 minutes later. If you felt there was any problem with the item description any normal person would have come back through eBay and suggested an amendment to the listing. As it was clear to me that the description was not clear to you, I had already updated the listing myself, for as you would have seen had you taken the trouble, I have a 100% eBay reputation as both a buyer and a seller.

To burst into print defaming my character on a public forum 50 minutes after you had been answered, frankly beggars belief. I have bought hundreds of items unseen on eBay from camera's to cars and after asking questions and often ringing the vendor have not had one single problem, neither has any purchaser of anything which I have sold.

I suggest that you employ some of your obviously considerable spare time in contacting Horse & Hound and getting your defamatory comments removed.

Get over yourself for goodness sake. Ebay is full of scammers selling things and the horse items particularly attract them. Posters here regularly alert each other to fake adverts for horseboxes etc. YCBM has more inside knowledge about these Wow saddles than most people here and although she might have been a bit excitable, I don't think her intentions were bad. You may have paid £2.5K for a saddle but anyone who buys a new car knows that it loses thousands in value as soon as you drive it off the dealers forecourt. I bought my saddle second hand for £250 which was about half its new price, and when I then sold it I got the princely sum of £40.

Like your wife I also gave up riding because of arthritis. It happens unfortunately. Not as bad as my work colleague's wife who although a very very experienced rider was walking her horse around the arena when it went up and over backwards. At 42 she was condemned to a life in a wheelchair with no prospect of ever standing unaided, let alone walking again, and her husband has to change her nappies etc. I'm sure she would happily swap that for arthritis.

oh my days! How on earth did I miss this post!! It just gets better and better!! As if this thread wan't already bat poo crazy enough! One can understand that the sellers wife would be a little bit ticked off, and yes that the seller may be a little ticked off, but for both of them to come on HHO and burst into indignant song about this - I wonder if we will be seeing posts from the criminal psychologist and the QC soon, perhaps great aunt fanny and cousin joe eight times removed will take a spin on the keyboard too!

One wonders, apart from dinner parties what some folks do with their life - just sayin!
 
H'mm, I was once going to sell my Wow dressage flaps on eBay, but someone on here wanted them before I got round to it. I sent photos; she sent money; I sent flaps; everyone was happy (except for me cos I didn't want to sell them, but I *really* needed the money for uni fees).

Now I'm starting to wish I'd sold them on eBay because I'm feeling rather cheated by my simplicity of my transaction. Where's *my* 3-page thread...??!!

**goes to root around in the depths of the tack room for something contentious & Wow-related to sell...think I might have got a spare head plate of unclear dimensions...**

Do you still have pictures and a description... Im sure we could get an appraisal from OP and you can come in all guns blazing... do you have any special friends who could contribute, and a cushion to compare the flaps too? JFTD and I would be happy to derail the topic - multiple times and Mrs M can sit in the corner eating sweets and popcorn and getting it everywhere :p

Actually MrsM always used to make hot choc...

yeah... but she's sorta already done that, what with her melting chocolate all down her trousers and all... just thought we could give her a slightly different job to do, but if she is insistent it must be chocolate orientated, thats ok.... After reading this thread though, I do hope Mrs M signs up for HHO SS next year, Im going to get her chocolate and a bib ;)
