Not sure people do mate..........but you can get my MTB frame sale moved if it'll make you happy?  

[DIRTBIKER250F]

I agree with Djweston to a certain degree, the other day in a sales thread there were a cpl of Sugino Cranks up for sale. Me and Munners put in "yep we'll take em" posts nearly as soon as the thread was posted, anyway the guy sold em on without even gettin back to us until they had sold. Now i dont think that if it was one of the older members to this website or a Mod it would have went down well at all, as surely it would be pointless selling through here if you just picked who you wanted to sell to. Yet not one Mod stepped in to say "look mate this is how we want to run the sales threads and "it's gotta be fair n sh1t". I have seen in the past Mods and guys with many posts kicking off about this sorta thing, yet as i said not one Mod stepped in to sort it out.
I dont really take it to heart like DJ probably does but to his post yes i sorta Agree there is a lil double standards kickin around. imho

Maybe that person had a PM sent before any replies were posted...

I was first to get a chain that way....next person missed out by few minutes but would have shown as being first to respond....

[pickle]

I understand where you're coming from....and i can't comment on the crank post as i haven't seen it.....but sometimes you might put something up for sale, then find out a mate of yours on here (yes we all have them) PM's you and asks if he can have it?  well speaking for myself, i'd always let a mate have it if he wanted over another member who i don't really know.  I'm not sure that makes me a bad person?  

[DIRTBIKER250F]

Not really Pickle, but it does stand up to what my post was saying  , i would sell to first as imho that is how it should work. But as i said i dont take it to heart    just pointing out a flaw in the system

fair enough mate........i have to admit to not liking the old 'first dib dobs' on things........and whenever i've sold anything i've always sold to the first person that wants the item.......or whenever a mate has needed that item i tend to just give it to them......but can see where people may get the hump with things. 

[djweston]

im winding you all up lads, i dont really care, just a bit peeved that my mountain bike got moved, wouldnt mind but its getting sold & the funds are going towards a bmx

[Waxintaxin]

How can a site dictate to its members who they should sell too??

If a mate wants an item of mine , then hes going to get it , hes a mate ,thats the whole point thats why he is a mate.

Dont blame the site for members behaviour

if we did that then we can all comment on many , many shady goings on from peole who like to complain about shady dealings

[pickle]

i'm cool mate.........and i'm not sure why your MTB got moved    there's also a GT aggressor in there as well as mine.

looking at your post though, Kusam said you listed it in the Wanted section?  maybe that's why it was moved?

Hope you sell it though mate  

[kusam]

Weston....I replied to your MTB post cos it was in the Wanted section...not the For Sale....that's why I said try that section....
Although the general rule is that only BMX items are sold in the For Sale section and non-BMX items are USUALLY moved to the Lounge....obviously someone elses MTB for sale thread didn't get picked up on....
doubt it's special treatment...

theres deffo special treatment going on

kinda like the guy who begged for bike parts ends up with a whole bike pretty much for free which then he sold on ebay! Im sure all the people who tried to help the guy out were chuffed about that one. The same guy b1tches on another forum saying how sad we all are on here and what a bunch of d1cks we all are deletes his account are then rejoins later,

lol special treatment, to those who dont deserve it yeah maybe

Can't say i know who you're talking about there?  but maybe everyone were just taken in by one person plight?  after all we're all into BMX and if someone comes on and has a bit of a sob story, out of 3000+ members someone will step up and help out i guess. i agree it's a bad thing to gather up a whole bike for next to nothing then go and sell it on the bay....that's just bad form!      but i don't see how that makes the people who helped him out bad people!?!?  

[dordymush]

but i don't see how that makes the people who helped him out bad people!?!?

[DIRTBIKER250F]
