Robodog Posted August 21, 2014 Share I don't worry too much about post count but won't deal with anyone who has 0 posts. I like to see some sort of contribution which I can scan through to determine seller/buyers character. The other thing I do is get the dude on the phone asap. If that turns out to be a mission at all I steer clear, whether buying or selling. Chatting to someone instead of endless texting/pms usually resolves all kinds of issues like "dibs". Also easier to recognise genuine traders. Btw, watch this space, well the classifieds, as I'm going to be selling quite a bit of stuff soon.  floatfox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rouxtjie Posted August 21, 2014 Share i dont know why everyone is so sensitive about their post count, I actually couldnt give a flying vaaark, what rouxtjie is saying the hub is a community as in any community he is simply more comfortable with people he "knows" in the community, and maybe his sell/post ratio count works for him. he is not attacking low post counts he is merely pointing out HIS preffrence of sellingalso as said above some use hub only for classifieds, some of those are not so savoury creatures there has been issues, funny enough its normally low count poster, it does not say all are that way,i have in the past sent items i want to sell to hubbers i "know" without meeting and without payment because of that exact reason, im comfortable and i trust them, i have done this a few times and have never been burnt, again opinion everyone has onei even sent a SS to a very dodgy guy on the hub without ever have seen him, from his contribution on the hub i knew the bike was safe as housesPresies dips....post count is merely an indicator, nothing more, nothing less. I would actually venture as far as to say that people with post counts over 10000 are the biggest losers ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rouxtjie Posted August 21, 2014 Share The "post count rule" is one opinion of a couple of hubbers that are mostly here to enjoy the forum and it's community and 'discussing' everyday matters. This however will not really influence whether an item gets sold if posted by a small-post-count-hubber or not. If something is placed in classifieds, the price is right, and there is someone looking for it, it will be sold. There are thousands of people here with no to little post counts that are looking for a bike or a part or accessory everyday, so the opinion/rule of 1 or 20 hubbers will not really influence whether you sell or not. I've started with this here Hub as a buyer/seller with no post counts four years ago... Sold and bought many items with no hassles while having very little posts. Each buyer/seller to his own. You will probably be safer off buying/selling here with no posts than on junk-tree.Agree, the net result won't even be noticeable, however it does go beyond just the classifieds for me personally.

G e r h a r d Odendaal Posted August 21, 2014 Share 1000 posts... Whatever. I've been on the hub for nearly 10 years and bought and sold my fair share. What matters is this is my name and my photo which counts way more than 100 000 posts from a nickname and a cartoon avi.Agree 100% with you. Same goes for me bru.

Its not that is frustrating but more about helping active contributors instead of bargain hunters that add zero value. Let me paint a picture for you...say I have an XT brakeset I want to sell at R800 bucks...I would like to give the active members the chance to get it rather than the lurkers that sit in the classifieds the whole day, because they obviously responded first. With the post count rule, they dont get the option to respond giving the regulars the chance to respond. See the one hand washes the other...I wouldnt stress to much about it though, seems I am the only one doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTBc Posted August 21, 2014 Share cas247 = 6 postsnorm333 = 41 posts See if you had the 1000 posts rule they would have been able to bugger you around....  does that mean "dibs"sticks gets first priority on all classifieds? rouxtjie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
