Dadbod Racing Posted March 9, 2020 Share Those low ballers think you're on drugs. They are the same guys/girls who used to buy the Capeads at 5am go home and start making phone calls at 5:15am If you don't want to raise your heart rate then just read the message and don't reply.

Eldron Posted March 9, 2020 Share Not sure why so angry. I have something for sale. Think 5 guys offered me half the price I am looking for. I just don't reply. No issue. This. I don't understand the need to feel insulted/abused/offended/generally derided by a low baller. Press delete and carry on....or...make a counter offer and you might actually end up at price both of you are happy with. gemmerbal and Brettowski 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porqui Posted March 9, 2020 Share Now if you did not ask twice as much as to what the item is worth then you would not get offers of 50 or 60% of your asking price. Eddy Gordo, Al Allen, Shebeen and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Wheel Base Posted March 9, 2020 Share Asking for a friend, What exactly does "BETTER THAN NEW" mean? Surely new is the best? How do you get better than that? I mean, if you buy it new and upgrade then it's not stock so that can't be considered better, just close to the model above.

Good question, so if everything has been replaced with new items then it's again new right? So are there special parts which make it better than new?

piotter Posted March 9, 2020 Share All bearings were replaced with ceramic bearings (factory was steel) I think he is valid. At least a 30% improvement right there. Unless all the components were also replaced, and the frame itself, and it hasn't gone on a single ride then merely replacing bearings with better ones does not qualify something as better than new. The bearings might be better, but the bike as a whole is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bearings might be better, but the bike as a whole is not.Ceramic bearings better? Nah... they have to be replaced more often. Big downgrade in my books.

RobertWhitehead Posted March 9, 2020 Share Just playing Devil's advocate here and I have a different view: If you list an item for a certain price and you then get lots of offers 30 - 40% lower than your asking price then should you not consider that the item you've listed is worth less than what you've listed it for? (I have no clue what the 2018 Scott is worth - I'm asking for a friend . I mean the item in question is "mint" and "better than new" condition so maybe its worth its current price tag). PS: Hub selling rule no. 1: if you have listed an item and it sits for 4 weeks without a proper response then its time to do some introspection to establish why its not moving T-Bob, Brettowski, Riaan H and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bob Posted March 9, 2020 Share What's the old saying? "if you go to a doctor and he tells you to lie down and you don't like it then go see another doctor. If you see 10 doctors and 10 of them tell you to lie down... then lie down." Long Wheel Base, RobertWhitehead and Riaan H 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nancy Drew Posted March 9, 2020 Share Yes .... As long as its red, red bikes are always faster! And yet my red bike isn't selling despite a price drop, and maybe even a 'negotiable'. Must be the XS frame .. or the recession..... or it's priced too high or maybe there's a lack of super short cyclists out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
