Shall i send it back?

[lestershaw]

i bought something for half price, not just an rrp price, a genuine 50% off. instead of £1100 it was £500 and i am 100% certain its not fake. but here is a small problem with it, it hardly affects the operation, when it would compromise me twice a year. Because it comes from a****n it does not have a manufacturer authorised seller guarantee and A****ns guarantee is conditional. ( its a watch)
so my question is, is a 50 percent saving enough to put against potential problems in the future or should i return it and buy the full price, but fully guaranteed alternative?
Thanks in advance

how is it compromised?

I'm pretty sure a discount cannot remove the SOGA conditions for performance.

Did they make you aware of it's fault at point of purchase?

Is it a calculator and does it only not work when you want to know 50% of 1100? :-)

Or a site map, which is unable to tell you where this thread should go?

Where should it go? its not relevant that its a watch, surely the mods would have moved it if it was in the wrong section

No because you would be wrong.

Try 54.54% recurring

there is only one crown dial, and everything is operated by this. if you wind it slowly it turns by minutes, if you wind it quickly it is supposed to turn by the hour, BUT IT DOESNT , it only turns at a minute at a time, seeing as its quartz i would only have to change the hours once every few years, and if its running fast or slow i would only need to use the minute turner so its not that big an issue. whether its a deal breaker im not so sure

i can send it back without quibble, as its a new watch i doubt if they knew there was a fault, so its up to me? im still not sure

if 500 is less than half of 1100 how would it be 54.54 recurring? ?

Try 'Speed, Plod, and the LAW' as it is usually the "SALE of GOODS ACT" one resorts to if something one purchases is "not of merchantable quality, of unfit for it's purpose". Have a care though, that you were not warned of the fault in any small print - if you were advised of a flaw before purchase, that flaw forms a part of the contract, and you will be deemed to have accepted it as such. If the flaw was NOT pointed out to you prior to agreeing to purchase the item, then the item should be refused on the grounds that it is not "as advertised", and therefore your contract to purchase the item is void. It will then be up to the seller to decide whether to refund your purchase costs, or to repair or replace the item. Distance selling regulations also allow for the refusal to accept goods where they were purchased either online, or via mail order. This is more commonly described as a "cooling off" period. If you do send an item back under the "cooling off" rules, be sure to get proof of posting, in order that you can demonstrate that you acted in good time. Proper wide-boys often try to refuse to accept returns from this avenue by saying they did not receive them in time - the law requires you only to SEND the items within a time limit.

I think you need to share a bit more.

Who has said it is not guaranteed?

The discount is 54.54%. The poster was responding that you said "50% off". In that construction 54.54% would be correct.

You claimed your discount was 50% which was incorrect as pointed out. You then tried to correct your initial claim and incorrectly claimed it was 45.45 recurring.

It isn't, the discount is 54.54% recurring.

i dont think you have completely understood my post, which is why i posted it here. the post is not whether i CAN send it back, the post is it a cost effective idea to KEEP it as i think im saving 54.54 % against the risk of it going wrong
