I always wonder why someone would sell "on behalf of someone else". Is it because 

 

a) Their friend does not own a PC/smartphone

b) Friend was born without hands and can't type

c) It's an easy cop-out when the sale goes south

I literally spilled my coffee over the keyboard when I got to to "b" above.

I have tried on numerous occasions to get hold of the guy but with no luck. If it was my personal bike and if I was aware of what the buyer listed then I would either refund or give a portion to replace. however it was not my bike.

p*ss poor.

 

Sorry Im so late to reply but only saw this thread today, borrowing a laptop from a friend.

Fanie already mentioned on page 1 referring to Rouxtjies comment.

 

Think this is the single most valid point to all buyers.

 

It also makes sense buying something from someone who loves cycling, loves his bike, loves to partake in conversations on the hub, loves to waste time browsing classifieds.

Hey guys. I'm posting on behalf of a friend. He says to tell you "That oke's definitely up to something". 

 

No need to reply to this - my friend is a Nigerian prince who is working on a Russian oil rig off the coast of Wakanda. I have no way of getting in contact with him if you take issue with his statement. He told me everything is fine with it. I'm not an expert, so I believed him.

Easy there sailor, I have already paid a deposit, he said there was someone else interested and i couldnt miss the opportunity 

I'm not a sailor, but I once was a seaman. But I digress - I'm afraid you've been scammed. I've already had the bike collected. Happy to let it go for R250 more?

I swear to god if slowbee shuts this down before page 20 I am going to have a complete meltdown - we got so close on the Ride Magazine swearing morals debate, and here we seem to be again? 

It reached page 20, the topic went from a bad deal to reaching page 20, but whats next? Do we go for mars?? :ph34r:

Sorry. My t’s and c’s are that my preferred buyers are on oil rigs buying for their nephews. I am sentimental about family. Your deposit is deemed to be have been forfeited under the Oil Reg Nephew Act.

 

But, don’t despair : The CPA is your friend!

CPA? Do you scam people as your main line of business, Harryn? DO YOU???

Anyway, thanks for the great deal. A+ seller. Would buy again. Oh, the bitcoin were fake.

Does the CPA cover you when you made the purchase from International waters?
