Bike Hub Classified section (or should I not go there)

[dirtypot]

I just bought something through the classifieds - woohoo me! 

[PygaSchmyga]

post up then, you still got lots to learn

I hear that the Hub likes strong posts?

[Eldron]

Viva 100 posts before you can sell anything rule viva.

 

That way you can search for user posts and get an idea of the character of the seller and his purposes for being on lehub.

 

I will NEVER buy anything from a <100 post wonder. They're either scammers or only interested in moving goods (now moving goods only isn't necessarily a bad thing - it just makes them commercial not rider).

 

My 2c.

if you said 100 valuable/meaningful posts, then we'd probably only have like 5-6 people actually selling things...

 

the rest of us, would just google some pictures and post them in the "I have an idea for a new thread..." thread

What about enforcing a discount for every post below 100?  For example, my post count is 65, I think, which is 35 below 100.  If I want to sell something, it has to be at a 35% discount?

Some users with a high post count are not lekker.

Some users with a low post count are not lekker.

 

The correlation you speak off does not exist.

 

You will find many many high post count users here who never post anything that is not positive and constructive. Gummibear and Dale (or whatever his latest alias is) spring to mind but there are more.

 

At least with the first point you have a means to find out who to avoid, with the second point you never know.

Took him 21 minutes to respond to the ad.....is that quick?

For me it would be. Does he sit and watch the recent adds screen all day?

Wouldn't be surprised...

[Pikey]

All this will do is make them send a pm instead of openly adding pm sent.

 

So you won't know untill it comes up for sale again, and only if you were looking at the said ad and recognize the item.

There's notification options of new ads in your settings. He probably just uses that.
