Title: Headphones
Post by: purdey on July 30, 2013, 20:58:58 PM: Bought some headphones from a shop in Olu Deniz last Friday. No name above the shop but it is next to Holiday Mate Excursions. They sell T Shirts and the Headsets are Hanging around the neck of the T Shirts. On arrival at home the Headphones didn't work and the earpiece cushion fell off. Went back the next day and was given a load of abuse by the owner. He said it was our fault and wouldn't change them. We asked for our money back and they laughed at us and became very threatening. I said I would call the Jandarma bu they were not bothered sp just beware of this shop.

I bought a nintendo DS game from calis market for my sister in the UK. I went back to the hotel with it and tried it on my girlfriends and it didnt work so took it back and he gave me my money back saying don't buy from anywhere because my DS had an update that wouldnt allow games that were 'not genuine' :D

The metal eyelets instantly went rusty. Took them back the following Sunday for my money back. "No" was the reply, "you have been swimming in them" (???) After a few words were exchanged he still refused, so I told him I was going to find the market supervisor and tell him what was going on. Instant change of heart and money refunded!
