goods off a market stall

[tezmand]

brought a bean bag today got home filled it with the beads only for the beads to be all over the floor discovered the leather look bean bag had what looked like a slit like a knife would make so tomorrow got th treck back to return it im anticpating an arguement with it being a market stall i take it section 75 of the sales of goods act still stands as goods sold should be fit for purpose ? thing is if they refuse to exchange or refund how am i going to get their name and address to take it further any advice for me ? thanks

Was it in a sealed bag when you bought it? otherwise it's going to be difficult to prove that you didn't damage it after you bought it?

[cathfromsaron]

would think same rules would apply ... if they are still there!

straight down to trading standards after the hol if not!

I've never seen a beanbag that isn't prefilled, I've not heard of having to do it yourself.

[tezmand]

no it wasnt in sealed bag they had them either hanging up on stall or in my case got it out of a box that had others in and gave me the bags of beads to put in , they put them all in black bags for me to carry to car

[boxtops]

So - they could argue that you could have examined the bag before you paid for it? I always feel "buyer beware" on market stalls...

[tezmand]

yes they could argue that fact im hoping they are as honest as i am if not gonna be a bit of trouble cos if they dont refund or replace im taking something off the stall to the value of the bean bag and i will wait for the police to come if they phone them its a matter of principal and im very stubborn when i know im right i didnt take the bean bag out of the black bag they put it in until i got home i KNOW i didnt do it cheers for replys

Don't you think you're getting a bit ahead of yourself. For all you know they will be totally reasonable and offer to swap it straight away. Yet you're talking about taking goods to the value and calling the police.....

Don't go there with attitude, just be polite. It was possibly done when
the box was being opened with something like a stanley knife, Ive seen it
done before, they slash through not realizing they have gone too deep.

Good Luck.x

No I'm not getting ahead of myself if you read what I've put I said if I don't get replacement or refund thatd what I will do and no I won't go with attitude that will only get there back up cheers for the good luck !!

[tezmand]
