I pay, use the upgrade ad for a week and have found it quite successful - that or I’m selling my stuff too cheap because most sales happen swiftly - I buy new parts for top dollar and sell my old well looked after parts cheap kidding myself that this funds upgrades

I also use the upgrade facility which is a great innovation

Still all in great condition...

 

They sure don't make 'great condition' like they used to. At least the condition is not being hidden in the pics.

If that is great condition then what IS being hidden?

Maybe the 96 in their profile name is the year they were born. Lighties!!!

Taking about low balls, Mr Glenn Mann thought that offering 250 for a rack i advertised for 700 would be a good offer.

That is the kind of abrupt/rude replies that grate me, the guy isn't even prepared to invest enough in the conversation to be friendly or polite yet still expects a massive discount.

 

Reading that is like hearing nails being dragged over a chalk board, or biting down on a small stone in your sarmie

You have to love it. Been getting these offers on a R1300 brand new HRM for the past week

Devils advocate ....

 

Does it come with full warantee ?  No ?  Then it is NOT "brand new" ....

 

 

Most people start at 50% of the "new price" when considering what they would pay for a second hand item ....  Every so often HRM are on special for R 1 000 ....

 

MAYBE, just maybe the buyer was hoping you countered his offer and that you could settle on R500 ....

 

 

 

 

YES - it grates to sell a "new" item for half price ..... but so many buyers have their minds set on this arb figure ....

Yes I will give the full warranty cause its new. So it is brand new with full warranty that I will honor.

I will even provide the slip if needed. Also I already have 4x R500 offers I said no to. 

 

I'm also only asking R850 so its not like its the new price of it

It's all part of the game. People buy off the Hub to get a bargain. If it's not a bargain, they will walk into a shop and buy it.

 

So expect low offers on anything you sell.

speaking of which, is it just me or does it seem slightly suspicious when someone joins the Hub and withing an hour of joining he/she posts 2 higher end DS bikes in the classifieds section (read Merida 96-6000 and Spez Camber).

 

No reasons given, no narrative, not suspicious, never...

 

Do i smell bokkom or am i being presumptuous?‍
