Re: Would you buy a bike from this dealer?

 



Oh dear. You've decided to try and have a pop again, I think.

I don't know what it is with you, but you seem to have a chronic
inability to read posts, web pages, whatever.

Here's a clue: Ebay uses images, rather than text, a lot of the time, to
carry messages. So a text search won't necessarily show up a word.



Yes, he did, on the eBay page that you've just looked at.

Here:

Now go back to the web page and look again. This is where you say: "Oh
dear. My bad" or something similar.

Your call.

I stand by my original statement Neil. What you are referring to is a
category. Do a mouse over on that category and it will list the member
as a car dealer.

Clearly in the text of the auction the seller represents himself as a
staff member of a rider training school and lets us know the bike is
crap and they are selling it as crap. He doesn't represent himself or
the company he works for as a dealer, car, motorcycle, drug or other.

Now you can continue to hang your hat on a reference category, one
that indicates it is for a car dealer or simply read what the seller
has written in his ad.

Of course you would never do that because you are far more interested
in pursuing another endless argument. The very fact you cross posted
to Reeky indicates your intentions.

Oh deary deary dear.

No. It. Doesn't.

"The car dealer icon means that this seller participates in the eBay
Motors Pro programme. Sellers in this programme are professional vehicle
dealers"

"Vehicles" includes motorcycles. And there is not *one mention* in that
window of the participants having to be car dealers. It just says
"motors" and "vehicles".

And had a look at his feedback, have you? It is *all* motorcycle parts.
Not a car or car part in sight. Not one. He *is* a motorcycle dealer.

Finally, if you want complete proof, go to his website, for which there
is a banner on the web page.

http://bikersport.com/

Please note that the phone number on the website is the same as that on
the side of the bike for sale. It's the same operation.

"We are the clothing & accessories division of Marriott Motorcycles"


I know it's crap. It's a fair description.


Yes, he does. He has his website banner on the page. See above.

I have.

No, *you* started the argument. I'm just letting reeky know that you've
kicked off again.

You took my original posting,failed to read an auction page properly,
interpreted eBay's icon as meaning "only cars" when it quite clearly
doesn't, and didn't even look at what the seller has sold, nor his
website.

In short, your reading and comprehension skills have tripped you up for
about the tenth time.

Again, this is where you say: "My bad".

So you can point out that 'bad' isn't a noun?

 


Any noun can be verbed, so any adjective can presumably be nouned ;-)
