  1. 1. Are you finding it increasingly difficult to sell things on the classifieds?

    • I sell things quickly and easily - it seems people have money

    • I find it rather difficult to sell things - I struggle to sell and get low ball offers

The seller is shop based...so warranty, receipt etc, etc I'm sure will be included. Phone him to check, if you want.

Then maybe you should let admin know a dealer is selling stuff privately on Le hub. As far as I am aware....’dealers‘ need to pay for that privilege on here.

I haven't followed this fred so I hope this is somewhere I can write a little high 5 moment - 

 

Did my first purchase through the classifieds, pair of Zipp wheels from Bassman.

 

Within a couple hours he had entertained my questions, arranged to meet, and deal was done. The wheels were as advertised - incredibly good condition, and it was just the smoothest process I've ever been through.

 

Happy me, happier bike.

Cool,thats the way my and many many others transactions have gone.Dont be put off by a lot of miz moegoes

The difference is only R105...no big deal!!

Then he should state this in the advert, that the goods come with those securities .. until then this is an item that is essentially a second hand item without any warranty at all.

 

So for R105 less from EVO you can get all the securities of a newly purchased item, at a lower price.

 

Also, why should we have to call someone to find out if they have warranties attached to their sales? The onus is on the seller to be clear and concise regarding the product being sold.

All the parts except the frame the work and the wheels ...

Doesn’t seem it’s too hard if if you’re selling a Hope HB160 for R55k which was listed last night about 10pm. Either the seller reconsidered or it was listed, sold and removed in record time. I was scratching around to make sure I could get the money and then it was gone. Only just got over that.

There are some gems coming on to the classifieds and you have to be quick

 

The comments brigade want to make love to the ad even tho they have no interest in buying

 

Invariably stuff it up

We removed that particular ad on suspicion of it being a scam.

Phew... would have been a hell of bargain. I was scrambling around for my bank statements as well.

"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..
