Anyone a Dinky expert on here?

Now he's whining because Paypal are saying it's going to take a week to clear.

 

I've never had to refund anyone through Paypal. This is going to drag on like a dog wiping its arse on the rug.

It sounds like this twunt has gone into the red at the bank to me, the way he is pissing and moaning like a twunt. Tell him to take matters up with ebay, because even if you had done the refund via BACS, it would have taken roughly that to clear. What a fucking bell end this guy is

It's probably 'cos there's nowt in my Paypal account and an echeque was sent as a refund. Doesn't matter, I can't be arsed corresponding any more, I've sent him the transaction IDs and the time they were sent.

Nowt more you can do is there, either ignore or maybe tell him to FOAD, thats about the full range of options.

All sorted now, he was getting twitchy [again] because Paypal didn't send a refund confirmation through until this morning.

 

Thank FOOK that is over and done with.

 

Dare I list any more die-cast shit online? My patience has been well and truly exhausted on this 'un.

 

Last message I sent to him after he was getting jittery because I said I'd refund him 'when and if it arrives.'

 

I say 'if it arrives' because it's Royal Mail. I wouldn't trust them to truthfully describe the colour of orange juice. They are morbidly incompetent. Let's just say I've been messed around by them in the past and had quite a few things damaged in transit - even things as well packed as your parcel.

 

I've also been warned by several people that collectors sometimes switch models around to get a better item by buying an identical model to something already in their fleet and then substituting the worse of the two pieces by dumping the crap one back on the seller with the threat of poor feedback. It's also why most of the traders I spoke to after this little incident won't sell things on eBay any more.

 

Not that anything like that has happened here. I've just sent the refund and the £41 should show up pretty quickly at your end.

 

As I said previously - I'm not a collector, rather a student who bought a job lot of Corgis, Dinkys and Spot-Ons with some overtime money and decided to turn a few quid on the models he didn't want to keep. I listed the horsebox in the condition it came in - playworn, a bit dogeared and long way from being mint. If someone's pulled a fast one, it was pulled a long time before I got anywhere near it.

 

Your comments have been noted and I've contacted a friend of a friend who valued old die cast toys for an auction house until recently. I'm baffled as to why someone would supposedly respray a model in a different livery and then let it get played with. I can't see any evidence of an old paint job on the casting, but if it's not for you, it's not for you. It's 50 years old, and without being mollycoddled it isn't going to be perfect. You sent it back, I can't say fairer than that. It just looked like an old toy horsebox to me.

 

I'll get a second opinion on it as soon as I have some spare time.
