haha yeah i came across that a few days ago. The shop owner got burned hardcore. Basically he was selling motos with crash damage...he'd taken pics of a bike for a customer, bike was purchased (mucho dramas getting it there), new owner then realised the bike was not how it was in the pic. The shop owner had put a different front on for the pic then removed it.
19 pages of flame 
apparently the shop owner is still in operation but somewhat lacking in business

Dude thats fucked up!
For both sides. One man gets screwed by another man who I don't think did it intentionally. And now he's completely fucked in the business sense cause of so many assholes wanting to judge him and fuck him up for a huge accidental mess.
Humanity is fantastic isn't it???
Or forgiveness where did that go???
Honestly I haven't read every single page, just the recommended ones.

yeah i think it was accidental to start with...but poor pr skills from the shop owner caused everyone to jump down his throat...it could have been resolved easily with minimum fuss but it appears the shop owner didnt want to claim responsibilty...he could have saved face by replacing the shit parts with the ones in the pic. Another guy jumped in half way through and said he was having the same probs. You'd think the shop owner would've been quick to resolve these issues.
but what can you expect when you buy something you havent viewed first hand. Agreed the shop owner has a lot to learn about running a business but i think he's copped the sharp end of the stick. It's too easy for the keyboard warriors to heap shit on ppl and this negative attitude can only affect the bottom line of the business. The punishment should fit the crime...not run him outta business which it seems is now the goal
meh

Typical Yank Forum heroes crapping on and on and everyone jumping in to have a go from the safety of their keyboard. 
It's easy to have a go at someone on the internet, not so easy in real life. This sort of crap can be a scary for business owners, it only takes one windbag having a cry about a something (that may or may not be true) and it's all over the bloody world.
Some of the rubbish you read on the USA forums just makes you scratch your head and wonder how they can type so much with only one hand!!

It didn't just happen to one person. I think this Will guy deserves to go down. He is misrepresenting himself and trying to defer the blame onto other people. When that didn't work he tried to get the thread deleted. He lied about delivery dates, he lied about the condition of the bike, and he dragged his feet. I think people should be aware of that before buying a bike off of him.
