I haven't read the last 5 pgs since you posted this, so forgive me if this has been mentioned.

 

Would he have made this arrangement if you hadn't posted this. I doubt.

 

Once again the power of the Hub prevails

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The Hub is about as powerful or influential as AfriForum or BLF.

Im not interested in any agreement with joe funk(cockcheese), that post was purely to let him think about his ways and encouragement to sort this mess out in the proper manner. Then again things do come back to bite one in the ass, hopefully paths don't cross one day. Btw hello from Langebaan mr cheese, I am in your back yard so to say.......

Please pay him a visit.... remember to lean into it.....

If you ever meet Andy you will understand that it doesn't really matter much... the only question is if it's going to be 2 or 3 backloops.... or in my case (being a lightweight) probably 5... fortunately Andy and I are on good terms.

I gotta say - I'm not a big fan of people that use thehub purely for making money. It falls into that "legally correct but ethically questionable" category I dislike.

 

It's a but like adding a middle man to all sales - adds no value but ups the price for everyone.

No effective way to prevent this. They spend all day keeping an eye out for the bargains and pick them up before the rest of us can get time away from our day job.

 

We can always band together and avoid the known middlemen/dealers, but unless it is a lynching, the Bikehub mob is difficult to organize for a coordinated response.

Because deep down they all looking for bargains!

So I saw Andile Mngxitama riding on a Spaz in the Cradle today.  He got into a fight with Kallie Kriel overtaking in a bakkie while he was scoping out land that he intends to expropriate with no compensate!  At least he greeted me when I rode past him

Maybe I look for positives, do any of them actually perform a service on the bikes maybe replacing some key components that has worn out, thus making it possible for them to sell it for a higher price?

It's possible if they're using second hand parts but new parts on used bikes would make them profitless I reckon.

Have you not read this thread??? They take all the expensive stuff off and replace it with cheap, worn out rubbish. You can decide if that is to disguise the appearance of the bike or to make an additional R12.50 in profit.

[LongDonkey]

Hmm, seeing as the Rouxie rule no longer applies, superseded by Eldrons rule, i would like to note that i have no opinion on the matter and I am only trying to get my post count up.

Assuming you read my post a bit quick, if you read what I asked, it is not disagreeing with the people that is skimping on things to make a quick buck (or just wash the bike and put it up for few ZARs more), my question was if there are actually some that do see the benefit in doing minor upgrades and serving of the bikes that they picked up online and does add value to what is sold.
