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

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 :-X

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

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.
-
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
-
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
-
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 :daumenhoch:
-
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! :tickedoff: but i don't see how that makes the people who helped him out bad people!?!? ???
-
but i don't see how that makes the people who helped him out bad people!?!?
i dont think thats what andy's say there rob ;).

Were is the smiley with Foot In Mouth type thingy :LolLolLolLol:
:-X well 99% of this site is :angel: maybe i hav'nt enough "friends" to sell to :LolLolLolLol:

I just read this thread and i have to agree that there is a 'floor' with the system in which things are sold. I have been on the receiving end of buying and even selling items on here.
I put up for sale not so long ago some Red flights. Dordy pm'd me without making note of 'pm sent' in the thread itself. I didnt realise this as i had left my pc on the thread that i had just put up. When i returned a couple of mins later to the pc and clicked on 'forum' i noticed that monkeybiscuits had put 'pm sent'. I then went into my pm box and agreed to sell to him. I put 'sold to Monkeybiscuits' up on the thread and sent Matt my paypal address. Then Dordy put up on the thread that he had pm'd me straight away as soon as the initial thread went up. I thought...... oh shiit! I checked my pms and noticed that Dordy did infact pm me before Matt but i didnt realise as Matts pm was at the start of a new page. I told Matt the situation and he honoured and trusted me that Dordy got in first and they were sold to Dave.
If it wasnt for the fact that they are both good guys and well known members it could have got sticky.
The morale of the story in my eyes is that if you want to buy an item then put 'pm sent' on the thread then there is no problems or if you got something to sell that you think a 'mate' might want then clue them up about it before you put it in the sale section. just my opinion. ;)
-
At the end of the day I am grateful that even though it sometimes causes chit the mod's let us list items for sale FOC with no ebay fees etc. Yes we are all guilty of looking out for our mates often at a financial loss but hey ho thats the way of it. Asking people who run a site for free and in their spare time to start spending lots more hours just monitoring and maintaining rigid rules in for sale is taking the pi55 in my opinion, the old addage is if you don't like it then go ebay and I think its a fair one :10_2_12:

give that man a cigar :4_17_5:

That's an easy mistake, i went to bed the other night thinking one member was a miserable sod cos he hadn't finished a conversation we were having only to notice the next day he had but as i'd been chatting to two people at once and recieved both members pm's together hadn't noticed the earlier one, so it turns out it was me that stopped talking not him, it's the kind of easy mistake that could cause a lot of bad feeling in a selling situation.
As for you weston mate, i'd think it was easy for a bloke in your position to feel that he was getting negative treatment. But then you ain't the first person to get a thread moved so stop crying about it.

FFS Andy I wish you would get off the fence and say what you mean :LolLolLolLol:
Weston it looks like you have been well and truly busted :police:
:) DINGO :)

i couldnt agree with andy more, i was quite surprised to see mr weston back after his childish rants, and his i live in the roughest part of the world please give me some bmx parts for free so i can make money out of you all.
to be honest i think that the fact he is back on the site shows what a cool forgiving site this is because if i owned it you would be out in the cold with greame :Aresehole:

I don't give anyone special treatment no matter who they are , if i have something that someone wants and i no longer need/needed it i give it away for free to whoever wants it :angel:
I've given quite a bit away to quite a few peeps on here :daumenhoch:

-

BACK ON TOPIC......
Paul (Weston),
Respect, Friendship and Trust are earned on here. This sometimes brings preferential treatment, however I really don't think anyone was targetting you on this occasion
I wasn't aware of some of the nasty things you (Weston) had said on here/other sites, but if you wanna earn respect, then start by respecting others and people will start trusting you again.
When I joined this site you were already an established member and well liked, however you seem to have sh!t on the people who trusted you ?!
I know you've had a lot of cr@p happening in your life over the past year, and I also recall you got a lot of support from the people you now seem to pick 'fights' with. WHAT HAPPENNED ?
You're running out of chances, it's possibly your last chance to change it now….

haha, you do make me laugh rich boy, you dont know what was going on in my life at that time, we can all have a laugh but dont stick your nose in on things you know nothing about, it might end up broke
-
i like how all you t0ssers jumped on the band wagon without even knowing the full story of what happened last year like a bunch of lemmings, people that actually really know me & are not imaginary internet mates know the score, if anyone wants to know the real story just ask me, stop talking b0llocks, anyone wanting to try add their bit who wasnt even involved & knows nothing about what happened need to get a mind of their own....
ask if you want the full story, if you want to b1tch then just step up like a man & dont leave comments on here
-
I`d like to hear that story, make sure you put the bit in about what happened to the Haro FST that I gave you :police:
-
I'd like to hear the full story about the bike that Andy (McNulty) is talking about, that was sold on ebay (if that's a different one to the one Bill's talking about)?

weston loving the rich boy comment haha and loving even more about the nose broke comment
Your a quality individual its no wonder so many people dislike you
-
and also weston people were well aware of your situation at the time because you spammed the board up constantly at the time with your "please feel sorry for me bullsh!t"
have you no memory dude??
