.......my stem out of the for sale section and then stuck it on eBay the day it
landed at your house by special delivery, after knocking me down on price via pm, hope you are
happy with your 45 quid profit.

Well done and thanks for your input to this wonderful website.

Often wondered about peoples reasoning behind buying parts. I never buy parts i dont want unless i see something that's a silly bargain but i wouldn't dream of doing it on here. Community spirit and all that

Private listing too - 20 bids. Been shilled to fook. Hopefully he outbid himself and is stuck with it.

Just changed your username too??

I also have a feeling the polished suntour stem was the one Snav sold recently on here, Think he sold it for around £45

it is good when they shafted on ebay though, if its been a while since they bought it fair do's or even offer it back to person they bought it off 1st, or even split the profit made (which I have done in the past) 2 spring to mind that have done it to me in the past..you know who you are

Again not saying owt, but black Power stem, polished stem, E.T. padset, MX calipers and so on in completed listings..........

I'm not by any means saying it's right (as I wouldn't do the same myself and have had this done to me on these forums) but I guess it comes down to if you've bought an item here you own it and can flip it if you want. Again, I'm not saying that's a nice/right thing to do

It was me!!! Only joking! It is bad form...
Im sure whoever it is will stay in the shadows...

Bad that he did it, if it was on purpose, but maybe it wasn't right in the end, so he put it on eBay and it just went to that much?

poolysheriff · « **Reply #17 on:** February 27, 2012, 05:16 PM »

I must admit i,ve never ever bought anything bmx related with the intension of selling it for more money $:-\$
Made a few quid on stuff i,ve had tucked away in the garage for years , thats inflation isn't it

But to buy something to want to sell it straight away seems mental

Bit like MK ,a few random unknown blokes turn up and buy shit loads of cheap stuff off Jai , ramdom stuff ,just to sell on again $:-\$

rooski · « **Reply #18 on:** February 27, 2012, 05:18 PM »

This guy knew EXACTLY what he was doing

Obviously changed his user name after i asked him what he was doing with all those mx1000,s he was buying

Betty · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2012, 05:32 PM »

He's been at it for ages, buying cheap on ere for a quick profit on ebay...

Rooski's noticed his fetish for dc brake sets

Never builds any bikes?...

punkdSICO · « **Reply #20 on:** February 27, 2012, 05:33 PM »

Yeah, this is a tough one. I think we all like to think that we sell our stuff at a good price, almost mate's-rates. So, if someone deliberately profits from this: bad form!!

However, if you accidently profit from this, it can not be helped. Im sure most of us serial buyers have a story of buying something in here for a good price, then realising months later that we dont need it and whacking it on ebay only to be surprised at what it feteched.. I always try to bring the love back into RAD but sometimes you have reason to use ebay as maybe you have no idea what something is worth so you throw it to the dogs.

But hey, we all know good form verses bad..

Hugs,

Paul

pickle · « **Reply #21 on:** February 27, 2012, 05:35 PM »

it's a shyte thing to do but to be honest, if you sell your stuff on here and are happy with the price you got then what someone does with it afterwards doesn't really matter.

bad form to make a habbit of it though and not something i would consider doing.

Badbaldie · « **Reply #22 on:** February 27, 2012, 05:35 PM »

proper out of order i say..... to buy of a radster and kick him in the stones with a price just to sell on ebay for profit

... if you buy of a radster then change direction with your build surely its the done thing to offer it back on here FIRST , then if it dont sell,then ebay is your SECOND option

WINI · « **Reply #23 on:** February 27, 2012, 05:38 PM »

Surely there's a way that the mods can track username changes? Personally, I wouldn't sell to him on here even if I really needed the sale, but if I don't know the username how can I make that choice? Same goes for one or two other messers that pop up here and elsewhere from time to time.

Not that I hold a grudge much.....

Poor form that.

If it's a little business on the side, does the Taxman know

?

I'm glad I'm not in the polishing and collecting side as I've seen some right dodgy stuff going on since I started riding again.
