I know! Sorry if i came across as sarcastic haha. It wasn't meant to be. All i meant was i tried to find more important things to โ€˜wasteโ€™ my time on lol

I get that the โ€˜lowest form of humorโ€™ is my my default mode on here๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿ˜…

Nah, didn't read it as sarcastic at all. Made a lot of sense to me.ย ๐Ÿ˜‡

Interesting stats.

How about adding a section for "Longest / oldest Hub member" Hopefully my name will then be on the wall of fame....... Lol.ย 

We can look at a long service award in future editions. We're talking Hub account age and not actual age, right?ย ๐Ÿ˜‰

But for 2021 you're the 3rd most prolific poster*

There are a few things that I think skews the sales figures a lot.

A lot of guys put a lot of stuff into one advert (especially shops). These sales never gets reported as sales and no price is ever attached. I would remove the ability to list more than one item per advert (a groupset is seen as one item)

And also, seems like Bikehubpay is a good income generator.ย ๐Ÿ˜Žย It does work however.

We're conscious that a number of factors will skew that top line listings value ofย R 723 million. As you mention, some ads combine items and use a placeholder price (e.g. R123) which under reports value, while other users repeat ads which over reports. Strictly speaking neither is a behaviour we allow or encourage but both would have a relatively small impact on this number.

Actual sales enabled by Bike Hub is the more meaningful figure and the user-reported figure for 2021 was R246 million. While significant, we know this is well under the actual figure since 60% of ads posted are either deleted (instead of marked sold) or left to expire without feedback on sold status.ย

Thanks Matt.

That said, here's the top 10 since 2015.
Surprisingly, no-one has been in the top 10 every year.

I AM, I do follow it, its just frustrating as I had to get friends of friends to get hold of 2 bikes I wanted because the sellers were not responding on the DM I know the one bike is still available and till today no response, saying that I have bought numerous other toys no issues I just think some of the sellers who come here only to sell do not know how to navigate the hub, and I think there are many sales falling through the CRACK

i HAVE SAID many times its not my business its not my call, but the picking apart of a ad. does not help the seller as the not "playing on the thread"ย 

If the seller doesn't want to put a phone number/email or other contact form then how will comments make a difference? they're probably not even logging back in at all.
