Did you buy them off a guy on nc4x4? If so whats his screen name so i know to stay away. Or you could just go to his other posts where he is selling stuff and warn others that he is deceitful! Obviously at this point he is going to avoid you, so help others not get deceived.

^5 to this poster. It sounds like the seller of these tires was completely trying to rip someone off because he needed a few bucks.

Post his name and then file papers in court for "Theft by deception" It's a real charge here in NC and will stand up in court I have seen ebay cases like this. The judges not only award back the original money but costs associated with taking the person to court and "pain and suffering" IE lost work time etc.

Don't let him hold you hostage to these unsafe tires. Post his name and then take him to court and show others they cannot get away with this.

:huggy:
 
^ no worries, i will post his username if i dont get a message or call tonight saying the money is in the mail.
 
Let me get this right

How is this deceitful? You looked at the tires before you bought them!

After all of the driving he did...he probably took them in hopes that they might work...upon further inspection, they won't...so...
Would you want your dry rotted tires back to try to sell to someone else and give him his money back, or would you want him to dispose of the tires for you.

Don't forget the missed work and gas he burned to get the tires that you didn't mention were dry rotted. You knew they were but you didn't tell him...
 
Tough

He didn't have to buy them!!!!

Yeah, if the guy said they were something else, you drove, and they were crap. Then sure,you have the right to be pissed off. But, you then buy these tires, and now you're pissed off??? Sorry, the seller might be an ass, but the buyer has little/no recourse at this point.

Now, if they don't hold air, and are completely unusable, then there might be a case.
 
They ARE completely unusable.

His original question was more of a "are these usable", not so much "I got fucked by _____" I agree... even a little bit of dry rot means they're basically done anyway and he shouldn't have bought them.. and the seller damn sure should have disclosed it.

Call it paying a little "stoopid tax"..
 
Yeah basically.

I am not saying he didn't get screwed. He pretty much did. Just that you shouldn't post up the guy's username and call him a crook. Writing it off as a "Stoopid Tax" is more or less what I was thinking.
 
Well...I guess we'll get more of a story from fattypackard when he comes back on...

We all have situations like this and you want to punch through diamond plate steel...

It happens and you move on...

but...

I also believe that if it wasn't a bogus deal, the seller should be on here defending himself in some sense...
 
I don't know man. You saw the tires in person and still bought them??? Can't really blame the seller now.
 
C'Mon guys, give Fatty some credit here.
Look at his posts. He did NOT post up here flaming this seller. He was just asking about their usability, and lamenting on HIS MISTAKE. I don't think he (buyer) came into this with the intention of gathering a lynch mob.
He's admitted his mistake.
At the same time, it seems pretty well agreed that the seller was in the wrong here.

IMO, the best scenerio is that Fatty gets some $$$ back yet has to dispose of teh tires.
Keep in mind, if the seller gets them back, they will have to pay to dispose. He's not gonna want to mess w/ that.
Seller loses out on the cash he got. Also lost his tires, but hey they were garbage anyway, should have gotten the $$ to begin with.
Buyer has lost his time/effort and cost of disposal. This is his "stupid tax" as suggested. Everybody loses evenly, life goes on.

That's how I see it. We all have brain lapses every now and then, being human its unavoidable. I try to hold myself responsible and learn from my stupid endeavors...

The buyer may very well have some avenue of recourse for the deal, but if it was me I would chalk it up as a loss and move on with my life. Whatever happens, I bet he doesn't make the same mistake twice...

With all that being said, I would probably post the seller's user name if the deal was from a web forum in order to give others a heads up to future sales. :popcorn:

Sounds like it's headed that way and appears to be the intent of this thread.

All he has said is that the seller had a set of tire for cheap, he went and looked at them, thought they were crap, bought them anyways, and is now blaming the seller for making him buy the crappy tires...Why would the seller be in the wrong?

Yep i have walked away a couple of times when it wasnt what I expected, wasted gas or not he chose to buy.

But he is handling it in a manner that is consistent with accepting partial blame.

caveat emporer

....guess i know why none of the pics were up close. i should have inspected them when i picked them up...but driving 2.5 hours each way had me wanting to get back home.

i cant see any dry rot on them in the pics, even now that i know its there. and like i said i am taking some of the blame, i should have looked better. but like i said seeing as i asked him about them and he knew i was driving 2.5 hours there and back, its crappy he let me come get them. and i did call him when i got home, surprise surprise no answer. i left a voicemail.

the guy PMed me, told me he'd get my money back and i'll get his tires back to him.
we will see if that actually happens. if it does i'll just delete this thread and forget the whole ordeal.

These are not words used by somebody who is out to fry somebody else for their mistakes.
 
guys my FIRST post i admitted that i was half to blame. i agree i was stupid for buying them. but i had driven so far and waited so long to meet i just threw them in and took off. my mistake i wont do that ever again. all i was saying was he knew they were garbage so he shouldnt have had me spend gas money and take time away from work to pick them up. i dont expect the money back even though he supposedly said he's give it back and now wont respond to me. i was more or less checking in a last ditch effort to see if i could use them in any way and to let people know not to drive 3209832 miles to get stuff from clifford because it probably is junk. that is all.
 
moved to chit chat due to turn the thread has taken...

I think both parties are at fault here, and while I think it sucks for FP, I am not sure that he is entitled to his money back either. He bought them...

The issue of his time & gas for travel, maybe....but it would come down to me to did the seller intentionally take crappy pics to be deceitful, or did he simply post existing pics he had out of convenience. That makes a huge difference...

Yes, but FP specifically asked about the condition and any problems, and was told no problems.

The ones you bothered to quote aren't. You conveniently left out some. :rolleyes:

Threatening to post somebodies info (and then actually doing it) seems to indicate otherwise. You can add in the fact that he started this thread in the first place, and then bumped it a few times.

The original post has been edited a few times too.
 
^ it was edited ONCE, just now. becaue i got the answer to my original question.

and for the 10th time, i said i was of partial fault. but would you not be mad even if you didnt buy the tires....just over the fact that you took a days work off and drove 5 hours to realize when you got there the tires were crap. either way you look at it, the seller acted kind of crappy. never said i wasnt at fault for taking the tires anyways. nor did i make this thread to get my money back. i have a phone for that. and i wont get it back anyways, live and learn. thanks for answering my question for those that helped me.
