Interesting thread ..................... Plenty folk who have posted in this thread do exactly the same
I've sold a hutch loaded to the eyeballs, only to see it spread across the forums and eBay within a day, all at hugely inflated prices and getting away with it. I estimate £1200-£1500 was made on it, a proper kick in the sweets.
That why I don't but or sell on here no more Or buy a tag:) rad not the same as it was:(
Not sure there's anyway around this problem unless you only to sell to mates or put the stuff on eBay yourself. Once the item has been sold it's up to it's new owner what he does with it after that.Not saying I agree with the guy in question's morals but it's hardly a new problem.Same with selling complete bikes. Everyone knows they're worth a fair bit more when split - if you don't want to do this, that's your call but it's entirely at the discretion of the new owner what he does with his purchase...

"Pretty good value" - oustanding value more like
He obviously feels as if he’s done wrong by changing his user name and if he did give the “I need it for a build” story then that is out of order to sell it a day or so laterHowever its now his and can do what he wants with it, yes “we” are a community and we do sell something’s at mates rates but people now know who he is and its there choice if they sell to him.I’ve had situations where I’ve stuck things on Ebay because I didn’t know the going rate and they’ve gone way past what I paid for them and I know that situation is different to what’s happened here and by the same token I’ve also given stuff away and been given stuff because that’s what you do with your mates just like when we were kids we swapped stuff.He’s been caught out (again) so he knows his card is marked There are people on here that also try the same trick but I just don’t buy off em….. Have you ever tried to sell to Spen FFS not only to you end up giving him the stuff for free but it also costs you at least £20 to walk away…….and then you’ll end up buying something off him………………….its like going to see Albert Arkwright in open all hours !!!!!!
No such thing as a bmx community.
What's wrong with earning a few extra quid???Bollocks....go and get a decent job or work an hours overtime if you need an extra few quid. Don't make a few extra quid at another members expense.It's about morals....and the lack of them.It's wrong when biaggio rapes MK and then puts it all on another website for profit and it's wrong when a member does it on here. No difference in my eyes.

No such thing as a bmx community. Just wont happen when you are dealing with money and expensive items that fluctuate in price. If its a community then maybe someone would spare me a set of Aerospeeds for a few months. I would give them back i promise.
