Any way I always though this site was a muse for “Flamboyant Gentleman” to find out which public convenience had the latest glory hole’s in

No wonder people never answer my PM’s

If someone receives a ban is it possible to register again with a different username...?

If it was Joe - he shouldn't say owt anyway - flogged me a frame without telling me it had a fooked ragged seatpost stuck at the bottom of a seattube (and I do mean fooked - it's tattered as hell - and the seattube - from where he'd tried to get it out). Steel as well, still need to find somewhere to drill the bugger out

Now feel bad for dobbing on an ex member who can't say out back. T1ts.

A friend of mine sold a 'well known' BMX saddle on ebay which was won by member asa.golfs. The seat sold for £40.

Ebay member asa.golfs then stuck the seat back on ebay at a buy it now price of £75 plus the postage cost within minutes of the purchase from my friend. He hadn't even paid my mate for it and was already selling it.

Needless to say it sold at that price as there is a huge following of members to this guy for some reason

Won't enlightening anyone on that account

wasn't asking you Bru, was enquiring whether the mysterious mr NOS would like to step out of the shadows and tell us who he really is
actually thinking about it I'm not that bothered, just wanted to put a face to a moan

No such thing as a bmx community.

WRONG!

diesel · « **Reply #107 on:** February 28, 2012, 03:33 PM »

My take for what its worth:

RAD is a community - That means (or should) that you join Rad to join a community of like minded people, in this case old school bmx / cycling / racing / freestyle etc.

Those who come in here purely looking to deal are abusing the system as Rad was originally set up not as a sale and trading forum, this is a bi-product that relies on good faith between friends.

Ebay however was - ebay as such is a business

Radbmx is a forum for friendship and knowledge

diesel · « **Reply #108 on:** February 28, 2012, 03:41 PM »

So the big question is.....

Should I as a member be allowed to profit for a purchase?

I guess that all depends - I have profited from purchases here in the past

However I don't think that I have ever intentionally bought something to immediately re-sell from Radbmx, I've bought stuff that at a later date I have decided not to use and sold. I have also watched stuff not selling and bought it with the intention of holding it until it is worth something. (this might be one or two years) In my mind that is investing - some may see this differently. I like to have some of my money tied up in old bike parts than sitting in the bank.

I have also bought stuff from eBay a moved it along immediately - that to me is the business side of vintage bmx - one good score from ebay could allow me to complete a build, and as such I have both lost and won on eBay.

I think what I'm really trying to say is that a good community such a Rad relies on an amount of morality. This is a good community and in general people are good.

Just a few bad ones who are only here for the money

Loads do it. I don't sell cheap anymore unless I really Know you need it and actually know you. I've had so much stuff flipped. Some people took it too far though. Daz Bmx begged me to drop the price on some rims, really needed them for a build he said. So I capitulated and sold at a reduced price, only for him to add some cheap hubs and ask more or less three times as much.
Now I sell for the going rate, no reductions. If it don't sell it don't sell.
Too many grabbing wankèrs, you want to make a profit, pay my price first then I don't give a toss. As long as I get what I want.
Same with that bloke who bought my hutch. Whined it was the wrong size, claimed they are worth 180 tops in that size, got some money back, then powders it black and want £300 quid for it. The guy shill bids every auction he does.
Uses the same account to shill bid and doesn't care that he rips radsters off. Scumbag waster.

im really really very new to this site,there seems to be some really good friendships and some excellent banter between you guys,ive spent hours looking at your bikes in photo section and the workmanship is first class,i imagine a lot of these builds are down to the for sale section on this site.The prices you guys charge each other are amazing compared to auction sites,its a shame and must be disaappointing if someone takes advantage of this to make a profit,as i see it people only sell here to help others build there dream bikes(from when most of us were younger and had hair!!!!!!!!!!)buy only to use on builds or post it again for what you paid.

We got rid of a lot of stuff at Rad Bash last year, dirt cheap, saw loads of it go on ebay etc for inflated prices, if thats what people wanna do then hey ho, sometimes we sell cos we need cash and sell cheap, it doesn't make it right but life is life, the only one that thought hey i've had a bargain, sold it on ebay and did the honourable thing was Snav

I think we can all buy parts from a member on here and sell it at later date ~ maybe for more ~ some times not

some times we sell at mates rates - some members are just real nice and like to help out other members if they ask nicely

but the point here is some one is just buying stuff purely for profit and doesn't care how it looks ~ this has now been shown in this thread

we are a community - we are here for the love of bmx - we do enjoy talking to other members about it - we do meet up and enjoy the time with bmx's

not every one is going to get along all the time - but if you come on here with one purpose of milking the scene that we enjoy, of course we are gonna get pissed off

act like a c**t ~ get treated like a c**t
