I recently bought a electric scooter from(downsizing comegetit) that they infered worked and just needed a charge. My 8year old son was excited to spend his birthday money on it. So we took it home and used the new charger to try and get it working. It would not charge.Silly me I figured the seller learning they sold a scooter that didn't work would gladly give a little boy his money back. These lovely individuals told us they were keeping the money, and a former teacher he is too. Well guess we all know which teacher he was. It wasn't the teacher everyone loved.
I suggest you all be careful buying things from (downsizing comegetit ) they have no heart. 4951

that they were not sure worked.
 
@Gizanthapuss: Pretty sure that always means "doesn't work".  Granted, I'm cynical. 4951

When you buy something that the seller is not sure works then you are buying it with the understanding that it might not work. Usually the seller prices it as if it were not a working item. Let me ask you this, if it was a working item would you go back and give him more money?
 
Did you have an agreement with the seller on a return if it didn't work?
 
I have been buying and selling used and salvage items for years and I always go through the no returns conversation with all my buyers. 4951

you probably just need a new battery pack.NiMH batteries tend to not work if left uncharged for a long time. 4951

@Gizanthapuss: Thank you for the feedback, I'm very sorry you had a bad experience from a seller on our classifieds. I'm going to look into this sellers history and we may be able to take punitive actions against them.

Interesting....  Seems the original post has now been edited from "not sure it works" to "infered worked and just needed a charge".  If the new post is true shame on them for not taking it back, especially from a child... Just my opinion...

A new battery pack is a little under $50 bucks.  Is the scooter still in good shape?  Live and learn I say.  Sorry this happened to you. 4951

@Ebola: I agree.  Check the charger before you put out the money for a new battery.
