I opened this can of worms, so best I should put a lid on it. Can I have the last word and then I will "Zipp it" (pardon the pun). I guess those of us that have only been hubbing for a couple of months can take a lesson from it. It could have been totally avoided had the seller indicated that the purchase should be confirmed telephonically as opposed to what I thought was the norm (to use the Hub) , hence me being a tad miffed at the loss of opportunity. Some people touched on the legal side of things.....but, hell I dont think anyone accused the seller of doing anything illegal. so we dont need any more cross referencing to common civil law. Having read a few of the comments I drew to a conclusion: and just to make it clear, with NO reference to the seller, although most hubbers are friendly and respectful it is clear that not everyone has the same value system. Lets face it that the product on offer was a sweet deal and I dont think any cyclist would doubt that it would not "Zipp off the shelves" in no time. (there I go again) The value of this item is known as illustrated by the interest. So, a reasonable man would assume that when a prospective buyer says "I will take one" that he has the money and intends to pay for the item. And the reasonable seller will sell as offered, without changing the terms. I cant understand why people would then twenty or thirty comments later say "I will take one" Dudes there were only three sets. Or do some people PM the seller and offer R5 more to secure the deal? Is this the "at all costs" thing I am picking up here? Anyway each to their own. I would like to withdraw my "Onion Award" as I now have a better understanding of this Hubbing thing we cant live without. cheers
