Re: Retailer Responsibility
A decent retailer shouldnt refuse a sale but should advise on correct fitment. Unfortuantly we do have muppets in the world who will buy/sell a helmet that doesnt fit at all!
Re: Retailer Responsibility
Im on the other side of the fence and say............ "if you buy something that doesnt fit, then your a muppet" as everyone is responsible for themselves.
Re: Retailer Responsibility
Why shouldn't a retailer sell off stock?? Surely that's the retailers choice. Just because it dosen't fit you is pure bad luck. Most retailers don't sell many clothes that fit me, I have to search and usually pay through the nose. Ultimatly it is your body, your money and your choice.
Re: Retailer Responsibility
Surely, it's madness to buy and wear an ill- fitting helmet, regardless of the discount you get on it. :-?
Re: Retailer Responsibility
People think they are getting bargins this time of year. Stock is either the c*ap they can't sell up to Christmas or the sizes at each end of the scale. Being on the rather large size I don't mind and do pick up the odd bargin in XXXXXXXL ;D
& Yes people are muppets to buy even if it doesn't fit.
Re: Retailer Responsibility
SF asked the pertinent question concerning the gene pool issue. Simply step back folks and watch evolution at work as the pathologically stupid nominate themselves for the 2012 Darwin Awards... ::)The world is probably better off without these individuals, more oxygen for the rest of us! :)
Re: Retailer Responsibility
That's a tricky one. Not sure I'd sleep too soundly knowing I had mis-sold an item ultimately designed to save lives.
Obviously it's the buyers decission and unless the salesperson witnesses them trying on the lid then there's not much they can do.
Maybe the gene pool could use a little chlorine?

Re: Retailer Responsibility
Good luck to the shop assistant who tells a biker they won't sell him a cheap on-sale helmet and directs him to the full price ones instead :P
