Ladies ladies... You are probably right, my price for the wheels was out of line, but the issue was with the way that this was conveyed to me. If you think someone's price is unreasonable, then rather just tell him in a sensitive and well-mannered way. Don't basically tell him he is an arsehole and the stuff he is selling is junk and then be surprised that he doesn't take that kindly. And PaulVS, I truly find it hard to believe that you carry the hub members' best interest at heart, I see it more as a way of entertainment for you. To end of with, I sold my complete bike with a bunch of extras and spares for very close to the original asking price. The buyer is an experienced cyclist and knows what he is getting and he is very satisfied. And I am too.

Guys, thanks for all the good and not so good comments, it has been entertaining. I sadly have to go and work now...this is taking up too much time.

Yes, I am starting to agree Controlc. Maybe we should change the name of this hub to "Housewives anonymous"

Haha! Sharp witted

I still stand behind my first post...

No, the starter of the thread is still sitting in the audience. I agree that MEANINGFUL comments are welcome, it makes things much more interactive than Gumtree.

It concerns me that some members of the hub constantly tries to make jokes of items being advertised for sale. Some of them goes so far that it becomes really rude and personal. Please treat this as a professional service to the cycling community and try not to negatively influence the other person's sale, even if you don't think it is a good deal. If you want to talk rubbish all day and gossip, then I am sure you can find other sites. These same people also like making negative remarks about any equipment that is old, small frame size etc etc. Let the buyer decide if he likes it. I mention PaulVS as one of the main culprits, but there are others as well. I wonder if these people would have the backbone to exhibit this type of behaviour in places other than the safe and anonymous internet...
