scott95 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 hey guys, just wanted to know how all of you resolve an issue, such as iun my case i have sold a fish tank and 4 b/n 2 weeks back, just had contact and the tank 'wasnt' watertight, so i would like to know what all of you recommend. FYI the tank was emptied the morning the buyer came to collect and held water thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayton31 Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 alot can happen in 2 weeks ..maybe it was the way it was moved maybe not...but IMO 2 weeks is to late Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dubster Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 tell them to stick it, every time i have sold a tank i empty it in front of the buyer that way if something happens in transit or when ever its not your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott95 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 The thing is also that i was told the four b/n i sold had a serious case of fin rot down to the bone, but they were fine by my rekoning when i had sold them, only a nip or two from some cichlids.

The Tech Den Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Depends on what he wants you to do about it, if it is a simple request then you might want to do it just to make it easy. Would suggest that if the buyer has a problem then he should put it through the dispute resolution process. http://www.qldaf.com/forums/live-stock-14/dispute-resolution-section-process-follow-38724/ Airing it here does not do anyone any favors. That way a non bias resolution is sorted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquaaddict Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 see the hassles when you sell something cheap...if only he spent the extra and took the water too. sounds a bit too much after two weeks, stand your ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott95 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 it wasnt a sale made through here, it was through gumtree, i am beginning to think that the person has nocked the tank and its cracked, so now they want a refund. i will not be able to do that. I do not have any money, and i am not prepared to fork out my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tech Den Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Well I guess you just answered your own question...sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gollys Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 Buying second hand is always a risk - and people know that - there is really nothing that can be done, he will just have to put it down to experience and replace the tank or repair it. Such a shame when things go pear shaped. A good idea to drain when the buyer is still there, I shall remember that if I ever sell a tank. It could have been weakened in transit too.
