Uni Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 glad you ok. one of the reasons why i've decided NOT to buy second hand :-( it applies to buying from any stranger.Years ago I went on my own to buy a bike from some guy from bidorbuy - and I relied on the fact that he had many positive ratings - but those days are gone. Tell them you'll meet at the local police station. If you don't hear from them again, you know they're dodgy. AryM, TK-Sp3cialiSt, spiderkzn and 2 others 5
shaper Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Not good and sorry to hear, am glad you are ok! Go to the cops and file a bike jacking, hopefully you can give more details to them on this guy and they may be able to trace and arrest him! sjeants 1

Wyatt Earp Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Is that why you ship me stuff without being paid first...? :ph34r: Very sleazy character he is, I am still waiting for the invoice on goggles and helmets. DIPSLICK 1
Guest Hollow Man Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Guys Please be careful! The Hub is not safe anymore!!!!! I posted my bike for sale and was contacted by an Nick Edwards (that is if its his real name) I agreed to meet up so he can look at it. To my suprise he pulled a gun on me and took my pride and joy! This all happened very fast and all I could think of is dont shoot me! I am lucky that I got of lightly unharmed from this but now Im minus my bike. Not to mention how am I gonna explain this to my insurance. Please guys be extra careful out there! If the Hub adminastrator can maybe contact me to try and get hold of this guys details it would help. Aikona Man; that is seriously k*k. Glad the tjop didn't shoot You. Sorry to hear this. What a bunch of swamp scum most members of our species have become.....
Ysterman Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Somewhere deep inside I think we should find this dude and bliksem him good! Enough is Enough! Going to the cops ... maybe just to get a case number and claim, but not sure if you were insured? I hope ... spiderkzn and jmic 2
Bateleur1 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 If your insurance company is SA based, they'll understand , crazy, glad you can still celebrate life. I wouldn't bet money on that. The OP must just make sure he has opened a case of armed robbery. And take it from there.
BrandonF_ Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 I wouldn't bet money on that. The OP must just make sure he has opened a case of armed robbery. And take it from there. Yip, I agree, definitely will need a case number etc
spiderkzn Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Goodness!!!! Thankful you are ok. Sorry to hear you got robbed Bike detail and guy description and detail. My lesson learnt from you Ride4Life either to meet up will arrange to meet at Busy place eg mall or bike shop and police station is better that way. Let hope he get identification and caught ASAP and bike return safety. let us know the process of reporting etc
nathrix Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Picture of bike, link of ad and where did this happen.Please provide as much information as possible. Admin should enhance security on the hub e.g. only registered users should be able to see anything in classifieds. Edit: is this the ad? https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/64970-killer-deal/ Edited October 10, 2013 by nathrix ® ©™ nickc, spiderkzn and Tumbleweed 3
Stretch Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 sh#t..I have both bought and sold secondhand on here...From now on I will insist on meeting in a public place as well as gathering as much information about the seller as possible... Now...This goes back to the whole reputation argument to make thehub a safe trading place. Things that need to be considered:1. Reputation points2. No access to the classifieds until you have x posts, or have been verified by a regular hubber3. etc etc I think the topic needs to come to the fore again Caerus, Maniax and Cassie 3
rouxtjie Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Eish...glad you are ok though... This marks the point where I will no longer sell to people with less than 200 posts or outside my province. On any new sales I will indicate as such. Edited October 10, 2013 by rouxtjie Bobbo_SA 1
