DJR Posted October 10, 2013 Share Bad news this. Glad you're around to tell the story. What I've learnt: 1. Don't let a buyer come to your house and don't give out personal info.2. Meet him in front of a police station, in a garage forecourt or in front of a bank where there are cameras everywhere3. Make sure he knows this4. If he has an issue with it, tough for him. Sad world we live in. spiderkzn and Daideron 2 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/131963-sad-but-the-hub-is-not-safe-anymore/page/7/#findComment-2092131 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daideron Posted October 10, 2013 Share Ultimately each person has to decide for themselves as to the route they wish to take when selling their goods. Forewarned is forearmed in my opinion. Believe me I dont have an arsenal of machine-guns or burly bodyguards at my side, but if I were to be selling something and had to arrange a meeting I would consider the following, a very busy public place that is well covered by CCTV cameras. And I would never go alone. Personally I dont have a problem with someone coming to my home to buy something. I am fortunate to live in a private estate and in such an event I would ask the security guys to be close at hand and only to let the vehicle out if I say so. But thats just my feelings on this matter. And I would not allow anyone to my home if I did not live in a security complex. Crime happens all around us, and we more often than not dont know its there until we are faced with it. Just pay attention and YOU dictate the terms of the meet and deal, never the other way. And never let your goods out of your sight or into the hands of another person without full and final payment.

scotty Posted October 10, 2013 Share Only sold 1 bike through the Hub. We met at a busy shopping center, buyer checked out the bike, we went to the bank and buyer paid the cash into my bank account (No fake money, scam etc). He was smiling as he got a good deal, i was smiling as i had lots more beer money.
