After all the comments, some great............some expected, I find it ironic that people will spend a fortune on bikes but bitch and moan about the upkeep, and are prepared to buy/sell personal second hand kit that I think is potentially unhealthy.

A case of penny wise pound foolishness.......................

What I think is absolutely foolish is guys that spend upwards of R50k on a bike, and then don't want to spend more than R200 on a helmet!

I actually saw a guy selling a well used pair of cycling shorts on ebay once. Seller even included pictures of the chamois... I'll leave that up to your imagination :eek:

I have heard that some okes will pay more for underclothes if they are dirty. Lol

Well, this particular pair would have been one that some okes would have paid more for then.  :ph34r:

I noticed that the classifieds are bombed by "resellers". Spoken to a few oaks and my self experienced these resellers lowballing on offers, then a few days later put these items back on offer with a major markup.

 

Imo this is harming the classifieds , should resellers not have their own section, and should they not pay bikehub a premium as a reseller?

 

Thats the way other forums such as carb work.

 

Im all for free market , but it seems this is creating a disconnect in the community on what items are worth?

How does Bikehub define a reseller and what rules do they need to abide by?

 

Do resellers have to pay for the right to use the classifieds?

Haha, BikeMarket, gotta love it...

 

What's the story here though, where did you get that bike, did you perhaps beat him in buying it, and now he sour grapes?

I suspect that's what happened, and that's their business model anyway, snatch up community bargains put a mark up and readvertise in the classifieds
