gummibear Posted October 10, 2013 Share 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. Eish...that's hectic. Nic Edwards......was this a white guy,age,hair colour any scars.English Afrikaans. How did he get away with the bike?Did he a bakkie or a carrier on a car? Have you reported to SAPS? nickc 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/131963-sad-but-the-hub-is-not-safe-anymore/page/3/#findComment-2091356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Steer Posted October 10, 2013 Share Hard luck man, that is rough... sold and bought tons of stuff over the years without any issues - for bigger transactions though always try for somewhere safe and neutral. Times are tough and there are more and more people out there keen to take our hard earned money Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/131963-sad-but-the-hub-is-not-safe-anymore/page/3/#findComment-2091359 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please give as many details as possible - maybe someone on the hub has had dealings with him or knows him.

rouxtjie Posted October 10, 2013 Share i dont haggle or negotiate,,,i cant do it if the tag says R5 and i got R4.95 ill walk out and come back when i got R5 like the tag saysMy pet hate, had a guy the one time trying to haggle a 150 bucks garmin cadence / speed sensor down to 100. I just told him straight up, sorry its not for sale to you anymore, he then offered the 150 bucks I wanted, I then declined this offer and said the deal is off. Sold it to the next guy in the line....the scrooge was quite de moer in with me about this, couldn't care rocks.

Rider3000 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Very sorry for your loss... but its not the hub's fault, the criminals found a way in as they always do.. maybe you can get details or track them from here if they are on here! Anyway i hope your insurance pays out (i don't have any and should) and i hope the ass*^%$& gets caught soon.. and when they do they should hang him on a bicycle rack!!

Andrew Steer Posted October 10, 2013 Share 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.But some of the dodgiest okes have high post counts DIPSLICK, nathrix, jaxtun and 1 other 4 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/131963-sad-but-the-hub-is-not-safe-anymore/page/3/#findComment-2091371 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted October 10, 2013 Share 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? http://www.thehubsa....70-killer-deal/ I so agree with this.
