No Hare Posted August 15, 2016 Share you need to be very careful when purchasing here... https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/203774-ultegra-di2-11-speed-shifters/ advertised as "new"...thought I would save myself the hassle of importing levers...slightly more expensive...but a saving on taxes and duties. when i asked about the scratches on the side of the lever(looked like they had taken a slide down the road)...and the packaging...considering they are advertised as new...i was told he would change the ad and reduce the price. i would request pics of the actual levers before you pay over your moneyTwo hours and nineteen minutes later I see the photos has been removed but the add still state that the levers are wunderbar. This okes never minded and FU attitude stings a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed-Zulu Posted August 15, 2016 Share The hub Admin should actually take a tough stance of hubbers like this. it is quite clear that there was no intention to even try and be either accurate or honest by this hubber and he should cop a ban!

Fr33rider Posted August 15, 2016 Share Admin can ban IP addresses, AFAIKThat's all well and good until said users adsl reconnects with a different IP and some other poor sod gets allocated the original IP and is suddenly banned for no apparent reason.

meparak Posted August 15, 2016 Share Hi Yes, I advertised it as new BEC I THOUGHT IT TO BE NEW. I bought it from a fellow hubber a few months back and never opened it. As soon as i opened it i told I am sorry as its not new. I even apologized a few times when we met. There was no deal done. No payment nothing. I might have wasted some of your time So i dont understand your rant you need to be very careful when purchasing here... https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/203774-ultegra-di2-11-speed-shifters/ advertised as "new"...thought I would save myself the hassle of importing levers...slightly more expensive...but a saving on taxes and duties. when i asked about the scratches on the side of the lever(looked like they had taken a slide down the road)...and the packaging...considering they are advertised as new...i was told he would change the ad and reduce the price. i would request pics of the actual levers before you pay over your money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaper Posted August 15, 2016 Share It is an open ended question, but we should not tollerate something this blatant in our community.Agreed and that is why people must rate the seller... if they have negative ratings then people will not buy from them. So in a way the community can self police Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
