| 426731 | 2006-02-03 04:18:00 | Well to be honest that lady doesn't have a leg to stand on as previously mentioned she was adequately informed on the quality of the hardware. P.S Can I ask how much the auction closed for was it $1 or were there other bidders. |

| 426734 | 2006-02-03 04:34:00 | i've never had anything to do with disputes tribunal, or personal grievances like she claims she's going to claim with ..... do the disputes turn people away if she doesn't have grounds, as she clearly doesn't ??? |

| 426735 | 2006-02-03 04:37:00 | Well AFAIK for the disputes tribunal you have to submit an application and yes they can reject them but im not 100% sure | Overdrive_5000 (4950) | ||
| 426736 | 2006-02-03 05:01:00 | I find it interesting that you have to get feedback about Trademe on other boards . I would er on your side based on what you said on the auction, except for the comment amount "getting a P1 . 8" which could have raised her expectations . I saw in a recent interview with "Sam M" that Trademe is very much about community . . . but when you start to be a bit critical of Trademe, they censor you . |

| 426737 | 2006-02-03 05:05:00 | Well sweet innocence, (not a helpful name, I hope you didn't use it for your auction) there is some good news for you: I will go in tomorrow and lodge a grievance against you will cost me $30.00 and you will have to appear in mediation which you wont be able to do and so I will win and you will be instructed to pay all cost The Disputes Tribunal will not rule without hearing from you unless you default completely, so if she does go ahead and file you will be able to either provide a written submission, or perhaps give your side of the story by telephone (from home or possibly from your nearest Tribunal, and using a speakerphone so she can hear what you say). I have used this facility once myself when a vexatious litigant filed in a Tribunal at the other end of the country. I wouldn't worry too much, though it is unwise to auction dodgy goods. You can say what you like, but you knew that you were putting risky products up. "Buyer beware" is all very well, but sellers have responsibilities too and a Tribunal referree might well think you were trying it on. You won't be hit with costs (which probably wouldn't be much more than the filing fee) unless you make an absolute ass of yourself. IMHO in this situation the fault is best shared 50-50, you for selling known faulty goods and her for being stupid enough to auto-bid and buy them. Cheers Billy 8-{) :2cents: |

Hi, thanks for posting, I posted here cos it's easy, the first place i thought of asking for advice, i looked into the TradeMe Community to post, but i've never posted there, so wasn't sure how quick i could get a response or which part to post under . |

Cheers Billy 8-{) :2cents: That is very interesting to know, though i think this person is wasting her time. I would only hope that i get to submit in writing if it came to that. As with all computer components, especially the main ones, like motherboards, CPUs, RAM, hard disks, they are all high risk items, as the lady who bid on it is already aware as she also builds PCs, as far as buying component goes is an industry thing ...BUYER BEWARE |
