T-Bob Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 We removed that particular ad on suspicion of being a scam. Phew... would have been a hell of bargain. I was scrambling around for my bank statements as well. Hairy 1
Skylark Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 lol ... starts off saying all the parts are new, then in the next paragraph starts listing the about 400km mileage, etc"The components have less than 400kms on them so they are still brand new,"That's an epic new definition of brand new - only seen 400km of use. R20k for a 2012 26er, the guy missed that train by a good 8yrs.. Hairy 1

VicanZA Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 This thread is the best thing going on the hub, while the Mask SJW thread is everything that is wrong with the hub. Gonna post a add later, really hope to get a mention here, bike will be a non epic finisher. Hairy and Wayne pudding Mol 2
JJ Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 At this stage it feels like it’s getting harder to buy on the Hub. Sellers not replying to messages or we agree on a price, and then I ask for some more information, and then no reply. peetwindhoek 1
RomP Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) As a 3 month old member on this forum and mostly a buyer, not a seller, maybe there should be a poll created for/ by buyers.This is based on my experience the last 3 months.Others may differ from my opinion. ( note that lockdown has nothing to do with this) 1- I find it easy/difficult to buy on the classifieds due to incomplete adverts. 2-I find it easy/difficult to buy due to sellers incomplete adverts. 3- I find it easy/difficult to buy due to sellers reluctance to respond timeously. 4- I find it difficult to buy anything due to over inflated prices on used parts / bikes.

Mojoman Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) The difference is: no till slip, no warranty, no aftersales should there be an issue. Yes it is UNUSED, but not new. It is technically secondhand...and therefor not worth the same price as the new one that offers those securities that after sales support does imo.R2.5k max...probably more like R2k....since its 11spd and allAgreed...I see a lot of things advertised for just a few Rands less than a new part/bike whatever...If there isn't a considerable saving (or a scarcity issue) then for me I would rather pay a little more and get something new, with a warranty and generally with no payment/seller/shipment issues....

MORNE Posted June 16, 2020 Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) but it comes with crossmark UST's, a bell and barends, so stop moaning and go buy the bike before someone else does!whats going on at the seatpost though...is that a shim all the way up there? whoever buys this glorious machine should just check for some frame cracks there before they do the 2021 epic.
