Had the same situation on two previous occasions. Last one I was on my way to close the deal but was informed on arrival that a fellow Hubber informed him the item was worth more , and he obviously accepted the higher offer. Should maybe look into starting a new auction thread on the forum.

It happens !

I have a feeling 90% of the fashion queens on this forum also have a pair.

So I reckon I will do the bad rating thing then

Well , I bought a fairly decent bike this afternoon from a very nice guy. Didnt pay a lot and had the help of some "cyclebuddies" to ensure it is a good buy as a beginner bike. Now for the upgrades ....

I must agree with you .... Dont think I have anything to wash out this bad taste.

Evening peoples of cycle .... As a newbie looking for a fairly decent secondhand bike I reallly want to pull all my hair from frustration. I have been a lurker on your wonderfull forum for quite some time and gained a heap of knowledge from this. I have just one question ? Are all sellers on your classified section auctioneers? I have confirmed on quite a few occasions to purchase a bike from someone (would rather not name an shame) , via email and telephonically. On all these occasions it was confirmed and then I get some PMs stating that another person on the forum offered more (in some cases a mere R100). I am just asking , is that the standard or should the classifieds be renamed "Bidorbuy" affiliate. I am a member on quite a few other forums and do not see this trend. PLEASE .... If you want the guys to bid on your items , state that in your ad. Just my 1 and half cents worth.
