Gandalf Posted April 11, 2016 Share Then you also get members who buy up all the well priced items and simply reselling them for a profit. Again in my opinion that spoils it for everyone else, in a community everyone should not be out the simply screw the next guy for a buck or two more. I've seen this many times. There is one in particular that it seems to a big portion of his business model. bigTree and mrChristmasTom OMF, i just saw this and took a look.Too true and quite sad.

Skylark Posted April 11, 2016 Share bigTree and mrChristmasTomThat's pretty much the classifieds leeches in a nut shell, well from what I have seen, one worse than the other. Granted it's their choice but it does screw the community vibe, like properly roger the vibe in the nought. All fair and square if you miss the gun on a deal but it's miff when the receipent isn't using that advantage to further their cycling career/life but rather just doing it to profit off the bikehub community. Some people sell stuff in the classifieds at really good prices solely just to pay it forward/give another brother a deal, that's what community vibe is about, blatantly profiting off of that is not leke.

PygaSchmyga Posted April 11, 2016 Share apples and pears...car dealerships and their customers are not a community. Actually apples and apples, couldn't pick a better analogy for cyclists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure Savage Posted April 11, 2016 Share Actually apples and apples, couldn't pick a better analogy for cyclists. I dont think thats true, once you have spent a while on the forum you get to know who is worth the time and who is just someone who thinks all cyclists dope. My wife's dentist is a hubber, I have suggested insurance through a hubber and I have had a lot of random stuff done like collecting numbers etc by hubbers.

rouxtjie Posted April 11, 2016 Share Any idea how one gets inducted into this "group" :-)lol...just a k@kpraat group. But ja those are the okes I would rather give something to for free than sell to a mrChristmasTom. Which reminds me...I have a Gary Fisher HiFi pro front triangle that no-one wanted(even though it was free)...will put in the classifieds now.

Nothing wrong with it but just not cricket is it?Then there will be the holier than thou who will say don't buy etc,etc, and so on.It does not change what Skylark says. I agree and will not buy/sell from these Hubbers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
