Paulst12 Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Does Specialized pass on the guarantee in a second hand sale? As far as i can recall they dont.
Vetplant Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 So I see the review that Quagga left on the profile of Forthelove has been removed. The advert of the bike is also not active anymore. So it is almost like this never happened.. except for the details in this thread, at least.

Dude Crush Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 Arg no :-( people need to know for the next time he pulls a move like thatOut of curiosity, what review did you leave? I also contacted the seller for the bike and then looked at the reviews like I normally do - found this thread and decided to steer clear. But if it wasnt for this thread, I'd have been deep in it by today! Hairy, Skylark and Vetplant 3

So it is almost like this never happened.. except for the details in this thread, at least. Frankly I am dissappointed in ADMIN. WHAT is the use of ratings if you cant forewarn the next buyer ? Or may it only be used to bolster sales ? The gap between Gumtree and this sales-platform (dont even want to refer to it by name) is shrinking by the day ..... Certainly no more "peace of mind" in referring a friend to come and buy second hand stuff here. sad to see .... Vetplant, babse, Eddy Gordo and 1 other 4

The contents of his review also referenced the removal of the images which was done by us, prior to the outright removal of the advert. For the purposes of alerting potential buyers to this thread, we felt the review from Throttles is sufficient. As also noted in my response yesterday in this thread, there is an unfortunate bug which prevented the rating from being displayed on the advert itself. We're attending to this urgently. The rating system should have connected the dots here and in future will do so more effectively.

Hi Matt Unfortunately the review from Throttles is about the initial sale issue he had with the person and it is not related to the listing of the Spez gravel bike with tampered pictures, which is a 2nd instance now. So I would think a 2nd instance justifies a 2nd review. One negative rating on a user can be an anomaly. A 2nd negative review is definitely something more serious that buyers need to be aware of.

sirmoun10goat Posted July 17, 2020 Posted July 17, 2020 If 10 people, or 100 people picked up on the same issue (misleading photos), and all of them gave a negative rating, all the ratings should be retained. It's the price you pay for misleading people. Scammers often try resell the same thing, so the issue should not be limited to the initial transaction/posting.

throttles Posted July 18, 2020 Author Posted July 18, 2020 In today’s day and age if your phone can take WhatsApp you can take pics and post on bikehub. If you want to sell your items honestly you will take pics and either illustrate condition with pics or in the description of your ad. In this week @pieterkaggel had a wanted ad. I contacted him because I had exactly what he wanted.He asked me if it was in perfect condition. So I took multiple photo’s and sent it to him on WhatsApp. I told him what I wanted for the item and refused payment until he was satisfied. Deceiving people for a quick buck or to offload damaged equipment will only catch up to you.Either someone will deceive you or Karma will get the better of you. This week alone I had 2 sales go through, both were not from ads that I placed rather from wanted ads.I made sure that I rated the experience I had with the Hubbers. Forewarned is for armed IMHO.Hubbers need to use the rating system and report ads. But at the same time I feel that their is a biased in support of claims Against sellers by admin.
