Must have been looking in a red cocktail tinted mirror and got pants on back to front so F is where B should be and vice versa.

Result: ended up on FB instead of BF.

Hopefully end up on here for good advice if/when pieces need picking up.

Hi mike Walsall, has she paid a deposit do you know? Usually £200?

mikeWalsall · Post by **mikeWalsall** » Tue May 12, 2015 8:53 pm

I don't know .. I just picked up the conversation of it being 'Bristol Bongo Bob' followed by dozens of 'buyer beware' advise ..

Its this one http://www.facebook.com/groups/25290557 ... 101685733/
Looks like a friend bid on her behalf, but he's from the motor trade so that's all right then

No mention of a deposit that I can see ....

Hi mike, well I think we will hear sooner or late

It's all getting a fraught on FB by the look of things. Lots of very disappointed folk there and the photos show a vehicle that is clearly unroadworthy.

I have not read through the mammoth Face book post .. but it now looks like the girl as been scammed out of £250 plus the cost of her train ticket from Cumbria ... Oh .. and the same Bongo is back on eBay ..!!

He's excelled himself this time. Sold the same Bongo, the black one, to two different people at the same time. One has paid a deposit, the other was waiting to see it later today. He has sent one an message saying he has to go to Cornwall for a family bereavement, as they were both due to pick it up at the same place and the same time.

The full story is on FB.

The unroadworthy one was another satisfied customer who actually did get her money back with much threatening. It was immediately re listed and sold again.

It looked like quite a saga .. when I have a spare hour (or two) I will try to read the FB posts from top to bottom ..!!

I am very surprised in this day and age anyone parts with any money before seeing anything, however well protected they might feel they are on ebay/paypal, which is surprisingly little if you ever have to try going down that route.

Good grief, to think that I almost bought from this b******. Best thing I did was to join Bongo Fury before buying...Am I glad I did....Thanks a million to all the great people here with all the advice.....I will soon be able to buy one...then have a naming party---Basher I reckon-----Then off to the Lake district for a week...Cheers.
