Jewbacca Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 I just love how 85% of the 2nd hand goods are overpriced. A set of cranks you bought 4 years ago new for 2000zar is not worth 2000zar now, despite new crank sets costing 4k. It's getting more and more ridiculous as the rand gets further into the dwang. Half of current market price on old goods = what guys paid for their kit. It's a weird situation and the classifieds are a mess because of it. Well priced items fly off the shelf, while guys are sitting with kit getting older and older because they are trying to squeeze an extra few zar. aiyaaz, Wayne pudding Mol, Steven Knoetze (sk27) and 4 others 7

Andrew Steer Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Had two very easy transactions the last two weeks... That said, I think taking away the comments is a big miss - it was a core part of the honesty system here on the hub... we're a community and we can't look after the classifieds if we can't have any input. I know the system might have been abused at times, but if people can come on here and sell things in questionable condition at questionable prices, or even worse, fake goods... the hub needs to be able to look after it's own.

Hairy Posted March 3, 2020 Posted March 3, 2020 Sold 3 x stuffs recently All three buyers were really nice to deal with and not bull poppo thankfully from them. On the smaller stuff though I did have a couple of people commit and pull out again. All in, I met 3 x nice people from the Hub. Vetplant 1

My 2 centsHonestly I didn't once see the comments be abused. I think the closest we ever got to 'abusing' the comments was that one ad of the guy advertising that worthless steel fork... But calling out overpriced ads I don't think even happens anymore for instance. And all the banter of 'GLWS' and 'If this was listed a week earlier' ie interaction with the classifieds is also gone..
