Porkies?

[TWR]

You have a small fault in any item you are selling, would you tell the buyer?

[boxtops]

Yes, absolutely. I want my buyers to be pleased, and hopefully to come back.

[seadogg]

If its a private sale, absolutely.

[lardhelmet]

I'm not going to tell them about my neighbours when I try to sell my house

[boxtops]

yo lardy, long time no see!

[mccfluff]

nope

do you want to buy a cat? pedigree, well trained, very good natured. doesn't eat much

[lardhelmet]

Wahay Boxy! How are you petal?

[boxtops]

not so bad lardy! (sorry TWR, we digress :-))

[sunny-dave]

Yes - for any private buyer

Probably - for a small business - depending on the nature of the defect, the type of item and the size/expertise of the business

Probably Not - for a big multi-national company

Never - when trading in a motor to a dealer


< which makes my morality to a degree 'flexible', but I can live with that >

[TWR]

Lard, I'm sure I have read somewhere that if there was a problematic neighbour you have to state it when selling. someone will correct this if its wrong I'm sure.

[owdhamer]

Never let the truth get in the way of a good sale/tale.

[Zacs-Master]

Ask yourself the question in reverse. If you were buying something from someone in good faith, would you expect them to be honest about any faults it had?

[lardhelmet]

That's right TWR, but I have never complained to them or to anybody else about them, so, if asked if I've ever had a problem, I can genuinely say no. They only moved in a few months ago, so it's not like it's a long standing neighbourhood dispute or anything like that.

[TWR]

No probs Boxy, Zac, yes I would, I have good feedback regards Honesty on ebay, I would expect the seller to do the same, but there are a few as we will more than likely find out on here.

[Georgiesmum]

Yes, definately. You would expect them to tell you if you were buying the item, wouldnt you?

[TWR]

I have just googled it Lard, very interesting reading. In 30 years living here we have never had probs until a couple moved in with a yapping bloody dog, it has now been sorted.

[EcclesCake]

Definitely.

[Euphemia]

I.e. Is the horse a high-blower or broken winded? / three-legged or lame in one leg?

[lardhelmet]

I've lived here for 16 years TWR and never had a problem till the 10 year old who moved in next door started to play the drums (which will only get louder as he gets bigger & stronger) in an end of terraced partitioned walled house.

[Georgiesmum]

Why does the poor dog keep yapping TWR? Is it left on its own a lot?

[TWR]

She used to leave the dog ( A sheep dog) in the living room as she went out for a few hours EG/ taking the children to school, as soon as she went the dog was off barking, after putting up with this for a while I contacted her & her B/Friend, the dog now gets left in the kitchen, problem solved, the dog is not the problem, its the owners that hardly take the dog out.
