Popit Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 My 2c worth .... I bought a R135K bike on the Hub , unsighted ...... BUT , after first making contact on the hub , shock and horror .... I PHONED THE SELLER !!! We had an actual conversation , did the negotiations on the phone , and agreed on the deal . I paid R70k deposit ( I am at risk for R70k .... he then sent the bike , DBN to JHB ( he was at risk for R65k ... ) . Verbal confirmation from BOTH parties as the deal progressed . He got his cash as discussed , and I got my dream ride , as promised . Messaging isn't always the best form of communication .... Mountain Bru, Dexter-morgan, DJR and 2 others 5

Trashy Posted September 16, 2021 Posted September 16, 2021 Wade's message, while written as though he was being ravaged by a mob of angry honey badgers, doesn't seem too difficult to interpret in my mind. In it, he names "Nicholas Captain Hans Moolman"Â as the user "Just Simba". It appears that Ace Cycles contacted him with another low-ball offer, after Just Simba realised that their deal was in jeopardy, and Wade felt that the two were working in cohorts, perhaps because they are based in the same area. Who knows. Ace has denied this claim. Wade also alludes to this tactic of tag-team lowballing being a "modus operandi" of Just Simba and Ace Cycles, with evidence of this apparently available on Facebook. Again, none of this has in any way been substantiated, but that is the gist of his message, as best I can make sense of it. Sid the Sloth, Shebeen and Mountain Bru 3

We make a lekka connection, promise to keep on talking instead of typing where necessary and then build an alliance therein. This is South Africa. Africa. Building relationship matters. Talking consistently throughout at least and building a win:win scenario is best. Disclaimer: This guidance above does not work with buyers/sellers with poor intentions.

Time to let it go, and accept that this is gumtree for 2 wheels, sprinkled with traders that add zero value and just inflate prices. Nico van Loggerenberg, Mountain Bru, jcza and 2 others 5

Then I have absolutely no idea how the connection was made! Was Ace the "Bike shop" that the bikes were to be delivered to?
