Greg29 Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Hi, I'm planning on advertising my bike on the The Hub and would appreciate any tips on what to look out for and 'the usual shady tricks' that might be pulled . Thanks.

Mike Bike Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 make sure the money is in your account before shipping..or better still swap bike for cash ChUkKy 1
rouxtjie Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Be realistic....your bike is worth what people are prepared to pay for it...not what you think it is worth. Its a bit of a double edged sword where if you are selling you are pulling the short straw, but if you are buying, then you are winning. Good luck with the sale

Greg29 Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 If it's a 26er, your Avatar might come true.... Hee hee, good one! It is actually a 26er......
Longbarn Killer Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Make sure it is clean when you take the photo. We all know dirt is a bicycles worst enemy and if someone can't bother to clean for a sales, then he probably never cleans it.
ChUkKy Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 Hee hee, good one! It is actually a 26er...... Pad it up and prepare for the punt then...

I service my own bike so it's been stripped, cleaned and lubed!
