MTBRIDER1234 Posted November 18, 2021 Author Posted November 18, 2021 Update everyone: The account has been banned!!! Thanks so much @Matt and @Nick ????. However, Bespoke and I are still trying to work out if this is the same guy (as he lived in the same suburb as me when he was harassed) and the details sound very similar. Please contribute if you guys have any info or just want to share anything. bespokes 1

MTBRIDER1234 Posted November 18, 2021 Author Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Just went through the 30 or so messages he sent me after I initially refused his first offer of 400, and he was telling me how sh*tty my bike was. After closer inspection of the photo, it turns out he has a properly clapped out old silverback. If only he knew what the Mercer logo on the headtube looked like, he would have looked like a lot less of an idiot calling it a "no-name brand".

This user has started harassing me and making racist comments after I did not accept his offer of 500 on something I have listed for 875. He got extremely rude and vulgar, insulting my bike, then changing my name on whatsapp to dog and saying how I am poor and need the money to live and buy food. Anybody who has seen my forum posts of my bike will know that I ride a 1 of 20 Mercer hungry monkey. Hardly what I would call a "extremely shitty bike". Sorry for the rant, I have reported him and just wanted to let you guys know what a disgusting excuse of a human some people are. Please feel free to pm me any bad experiences you guys have had with him, as I think it is nigh on impossible that I am the only one. I too would be upset if some poophall insulted my bike #showdem MTBRIDER1234 and TheoG 2

Is this the same user? Or were you rude to Tom? Seems like you can hand it out but can't receive. Trashy 1

Tom offered me roughly half of what I was asking and was not polite and abrupt in the way he asked, I said to him "how did you think I would accept that" yes, in hindsight this may not have been the politest thing, but nor was his offer. If you want to look at rating, look at the 5 star one outsider bikes gave me. Jason is a lekker oke and is extremely reputable. I have dealt with him and many others multiple times without conflict or anything of the sort. Edited November 18, 2021 by MTBRIDER1234

That should leave your review rating in tact ... ????
