Cheers Shebeen, I could not have elucidated that point more coherently myself.

Thanks Ray, you are one of many.

You do actually.

Thanks Bro Derek you get it now entirely.

You acuse me of being high , I ask you to not get personal and I am out of kilter?

YOu are having a laugh, surely? are folks truly upset by a low ball offer, do they run to their safe spaces and therapists? exploitative practices? are you high? I'm reiterating what has already been said on this site, on this forum, in the ratings and by so many others. I am not high at all, niether require a therapist, nor need to run to safe spaces. No need to get personal.

Hello Prince Albert, thanks for chiming in. I have had a similar experince myself, there is often a comforting sense of justice in those moments.

Sure Robyn, I am niether niave nor desperate but some are and there are so many alternative options.

Thanks Zebra, I have been around this industry a while and I certainly am being niether dramatic, nor exagerating, especially when recently personally being offered less than 30% of an advertised price for my bike. The point made is simply to provide awareness of what this company has since this thread was created in 2022 and continues to employ as part of their Modus Operandi.

Bro Derek, you are entitled to your view of this being, "incredibly dramatic", but clearly to many, this is upsetting otherwise we would not have the level of response that we and I personally have had. As a point of correction, "selling and buying", for some, can be a hugely emotional experience as I have witnessed on numerous occasions of both, extreme joy and distressing grief. I have also witnessed how people in states of absolute desperation have parted with much loved possesions including bicycles, because they have felt that there was no alternative option. These people have on occasion been exploited by company's who promise to offer, "a market related price", which is sometimes anything but, as is the case here with BikeMarket as can be witnessed with so many other voices on this thread. That's really at the nub of this its merely just about creating an awareness of my and others experiences, that is afterall a part of what this site, our communities participation and these forums are intended for.

I love the sentiment Shebeen but it doesnt really solve the problem and quite frankly, given his level of commitment to responding to anything other than his stupid offers I doubt he gives a toss. I think most importantly he needs to be exposed so that as many peole as possible are aware of his business ethic.

Yes Murrob, its remarkable how many people I am uncovering on Bikehub and privately that are truly upset by James and his organization and their exploitative practices.

I wish there was even that level of professional courtesy Kom, let alone a response to my messages or calls.

Thank you all for the support.

Thanks Bro Derek for your opinion, clearly it doesnt absolutely align with the general sentiment on this site regarding BikeMarket's practices?
