Buyer Beware regarding Trident Cycles Landlord Caleb Jacksons “dump and run” sale at 103 Mill Rd, Helensville.

 

A person by the name of Emily Dickson has posted a “crazy, crazy, crazy” post on the Helensville Community Facebook page regarding a sale at the now defunct Trident Cycles at 103 Mill Rd, Helensville.

The biggest concern is that the Chinese owners of Trident (Pang Bei investments) are shutting up shop in NZ, so anyone who buys a Trident bike will be unable to claim on any supposed warranty, and they won’t be able to source any parts if their bike breaks down, as there won’t be any NZ agency to contact.

The sale is a classic “dump and run” exercise that businesses do when they are exiting a territory or country.

The Trident bikes also do not meet NZ manufacturing and safety standards – Pang Bei simply imports them and then loads them onto Trade Me – well, they did, until I was able to get their Trade Me shop shut down.

It’s buyer beware out there Helensville – buyer beware.

Update 6/2/16:

It appears that the bikes have been re-possessed by 103 Mill Rd Helensville owner and Landlord Caleb Jackson, and are being sold to recoup lost lease costs.

In 2013, I attempted to warn Mr Jackson about leasing space to Grant King – I was told by Mr Jackson to go away.

In the District Court trial in which Grant King was convicted, Mr Jackson stated under oath that when he took on Grant King and Trident Cycles as a tenant, he “didn’t care who the tenant was, as long as I was getting my money”.

It sounds like Mr Jackson didn’t “get his money” after all, and is now yet another victim of “GNK Syndrome”.

Grant King appealing his District prison sentence Judgment – Auckland High Court, Friday 5/2/16, 9am

 

Prison life can’t be agreeing too well with Grant King.

King has filed an appeal against his jail sentence, and this appeal will be heard tomorrow, 5/2/16, at 9am, Auckland High Court, Waterloo Quadrant.

King has filed his appeal from behind bars, having been denied both bail and grounds for an appeal at his December 2015 sentencing in the Waitakere District Court.

Update 5/2/15:

King was escorted into Court by a Security guard (King having first been delivered to Court from Mt Eden Prison) and appeared for an Appeals Call-over today at 9am.

King is wanting to appeal his sentence, and his bail refusal.

The Judge has set down a 1 day hearing for Monday 22/2/16 for Kings appeal.

On leaving, King sullenly declared “I’ve already spent 2 months in custody”.

Kings current release date from prison is September 9th 2016, after which time he will spend 9 months on Home Detention with an ankle bracelet, completing the 18 months sentence he was handed on 9/12/15.

Gee – 2 whole months already.

Diddums.
