I think his comment is spot on, you are part of the problem, there's nothing wrong with making a bit of a profit say a tenner on the bars..but to put them straight back on ebay for £80 thats just fookin extortion and the reason why many people are giving up building

I'm just glad I picked up an awesome set of uber rare SR stamped bars from a great Rad member that will sit proudly on my Torker for the rest of their days, and at a fraction of the cost of some pants old Win bars that are 2 to a penny.

Where you sell your stuff is pretty irrelevant to my comment.Out of interest,do you own any bikes yourself?

There is alott of greed  & money making for sure in the bmx scene,
Like any hobby , spose ... Fook it I've made a few bob on a couple of things but 90% I break
Even or even lose  :LolLolLolLol:
But to blatantly make money like that , you have no morals for the hobby ( my opinion for what it is )
I've give something to somebody even paid the postage &  saw it for sale on eBay at a later date  :-\

What was this post about anyways a head set  :LolLolLolLol:

It would only be extortion if i were forcing people to buy things from me
and in answer to other question I'm slowly trying to build a Mongoose cali to ride round the village on next summer :LolLolLolLol:

if  a seller puts a price on his item ,someone buys it and is happy at that price,wether its high or low,then thats down to the parties involved,if it s on rad,ebay gumtree,doesnt matter a fook.there are alot of  sound guys on here,but dont give it the "we are all mates on here ,one big happy bmx family"pish,theres just as many on here would try and screw you over as there is would do you a good turn,pity really,but thats life,, :rant:

There’s truth in that,
But just to log on cherry pick and flip it without offering anything else to the site is a little shitty.
Then bragging about it is even shittier.

IMO , if you buy from rad, try and sell it back through rad without taking the p!ss
If you buy from the bay then sell it where the fook you want for what you want! If someone's willing to pay what you ask then they obviously feel its fair?

Most people on here don't take the p!ss because you might need a good turn one day yourself :daumenhoch:

On that note.... Someone buy my gt for fooksake :LolLolLolLol:

Agree if both parties are happy then fair enough, but within Rad? Blatant profiteering tends to get frowned upon

There are plenty of people on here that I would class as mates, I've been helped out lots of times and I try to do the same when I can
You'll probably discover this soon as you use the site more, but then your comments seem a little bitter and jaded for someone with such a low post count... Have you been on here in a previous life?

Not sticking up for anyone but if peeps are willing to pay big money then let em, rack em up n see how they fall. If it was something ya wanted then either buy it at original price or bide your time til another more suitably priced object comes along. Peeps can charge what they want imo I just cringe n move on n feel the satisfaction of getting reasonably priced objects most gratifying

You don't mate  ::)  but you said there's just as many on here who would screw you over as there is that would do you a good turn .  In my experience on here i have had far more 'good turns' than members screwing me over , infact i can't recall a fellow member screwing me over tbh  :-\  You obviously see things different to me and your more than entitled to your opinion just as i am to mine  ;).  Maybe if you did contribute more to the site and it's members you would get more out of it .

IMO if people just buy on here to sell stuff on ebay at a big profit, that's just plain wrong. There has been people on here doing that, and have even asked the seller of the stuff on here for the item cheaper than they were asking and then selling it at a mass profit on ebay a week later.  :2gunsfiring_v1:

I agree with Joff on that. You are entitled to your opinion pkrippertime but expressing an opinion that suggests you have vast empirical knowledge is crass.  :idiot2:

X2

The members on here that are purely in it to make a profit don't tend to last too long as people soon realise who they can trust.

And when you've already tried to screw over one Rad member, things get more difficult...
