As per subject, does anyone have a proper email address for Charles Phillips, rather than their website form email system please? This company seem to make themselves awfully difficult to make contact with. A seemingly wrong postal address on their website, an email form on their web site to no one responds and no contact phone number. I managed to track down their phone number via BT, gave them a ring and they volunteered what seems to be a valid email address. It is not much different from the other one found on another web site. ' 0131 665 6448 Charles Phillips & Sons Drummore House Wallyford Toll, Wallyford, Musselburgh. EH21 8JT The reason why I am trying to contact them, is several complaints with regards to a laptop I bought in one of their auctions last Sunday. They had several in the auction, all described by the auctioneer and their advert as brand new with full manufactures warranties. The one I bought actually turned out to be used and the warrantee had almost expired - as recorded by the BIOS. There was also an irregularity in the bidding step, which meant I paid much more for it than intended and more than the new cost in the shops. Other than the above complaints, the company seems to be genuine - but I'll see what response there is to my emailed complaint. [update] I have just received a Read Receipt back from the above address, but their server seems not to respond to a Delivery Receipt request. Other than it being obviously a used laptop and the warrantee on the verge of expiring and the bidding irregularity, the laptop is good and I have offered to keep it, providing they are agreeable to a sensible adjustment on what I paid for the item. What would be a sensible percentage reduction to ask for, used with almost no warrantee, versus new with a full warrantee? -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |

I suggested that £75 was not adequate, it would only make the used laptop £25 less than the cost of a new one in the shops. They later agreed to offer £100, which I accepted." So in summary you have bought a secondhand laptop with perhaps 3 months warranty remaining for a saving of £50 over new? AND you are telling us all is well AND you'd do it again? What make and model laptop is this? Jim K |

Jim K Harry, Being a frequenter of many auctions I'm afraid that I would tend to agree with Jim. At the ones I attend you would normally find a fully working, boxed, as new, laptop making about 2/3s of the cheapest shop price. To give an idea on pricing there are a number of people at my local auction that buy there and sell on Ebay, they still manage a reasonable profit. Even so it is still very much, let the buyer beware. If they don't give you the chance before the sale to check out the equipment to your satisfaction then I would walk away. Again my local will even allow me to take test equipment in and run up items before the day. -- Bill |

Jim K brought next idea :
strewth - OK back a few squares :- *If* he wasn't now defending and even *recommending* this iffy looking outfit on here (and elsewhere).... *then* Yes it "would have been" only his quiet little secret. There are a lot of fly by night auction companies about and my troubles trying to contact them, might have given anyone considering going to one of their auctions, a bad impression. Once I had managed to make contact with them, they could not have been more helpful and apologetic. Being a fair man and having resolved the issue to my entire satisfaction, I thought I ought to redress the balance. Once again, I have received a very fair settlement from them - they did offer a full refund and collection at their expense, I chose to keep it with a partial refund. -- Regards, Harry (M1BYT) (L) http://www.ukradioamateur.co.uk |
