I would pretty much agree on that. It seems to have obviously been an honest mistake.
But that taken into consideration, all you guys must realize something and recognize something. All mistakes started at the beginning.
It wasn’t Burchards intention to buy the wrong yo-yo. But that being understood, he should face the reality that as unintentional as it may have been, he sold yo-yo Joe the wrong yo-yo.
I don’t care how you wanna cut it or how you wanna explain it, yo-yo Joe ended up with Burchards $400 mistake.
This has nothing to do with Burchard being sneaky or anything. This has nothing to do with someone intentionally mislabeling a yo-yo to sell it
But the reality of the situation is simple. Yo-yo Joe didn’t get what he paid for. As unwittingly as the process may have been, in this situation yo-yo Joe has no responsibility in initiating a solution to the problem.
I’ve been following this thread And counting on Burchard doing the right thing? But sadly, thats obviously not happening.
It seemed like the easier solution was to just say that Eddie sold him the wrong yo-yo in the first place and remove himself from any responsibility to make things right.
Nope….. It doesn’t work that way. And trying to think of some kind of alternate solution because the shipping is expensive, well that’s weak.
Being the middleman on a yo-yo, that’s changing hands does not remove you from the culpability of your responsibility to Correct the mistake..
Burchard Is fully responsible to handle this at whatever cost.
And he should do it as quick as possible. Even if he has to make a cash advance on a credit card to get Joe’s money. It doesn’t matter how he has to do it. It’s all on him. Including the shipping. Why? >> glad you asked>
He advertises a yo-yo. Yo-yo Joe bought it. He sent yo-yo Joe the wrong yo-yo. Yo-yo Joe tells him hey this isn’t a regular Mustang. This is an ES.So Burchard Tells him well that’s the yo-yo that I bought from this guy thinking it was a regular Mustang?
To suggest that he bought it originally not knowing that it was the wrong one is fine. Even the guy Eddie… That he bought it from maybe he wasn’t bright enough to know what the heck it was? But the end result is the middleman ended up with the incorrect yo-yo. That in no way creates any justification to Pass the problem to yo-yo Joe.
I wasn’t gonna say anything. I just counted on Burchard handling this the way he should have.
But now I see yo-yo Joe is frustrated to the point of trying to sell the yo-yo himself. Which is pretty much ridiculous. He shouldn’t have to sell it himself. He didn’t make the mistake.
And I know at least one or two people are gonna respond to my post and try to put up some type of a groundless argument. At this point, it doesn’t matter what you say. Because yo-yo Joe shouldn’t have to be trying to resell that yo-yo himself.
Yo-yo Joe’s only mistake was believing that Burchard Was sending him the regular Mustang that he paid for.
They don’t need to team up on a solution to this situation. The solution should be fully provided by.Burchard.
A sellers reputation should be worth more than $400.
Not stepping up is not a good look.
Sorry you are getting hosed on this Joe.
….. if the roles were reversed in this situation… Yo-yo, Joe would correct the problem in less than a week… And probably less than that. He would jump on it like a trampoline. Because he would know that that’s not a feeling that you wanna have. To be the person making a mistake or the person on the receiving end of the mistake.
A sad situation, which could’ve been corrected by Burchard Before it got this far.
If you don’t like my take on the subject, then you don’t know a damn thing about how to make a deal.
