I think it’s between Swannie and myself, I have made him a commitment and I hoping to go our it.

Nope. This community here is built on a level of trust. 

If you abuse it, it affects all of us.

 

Swindlers, chancers and dodgy okes will get called out.

If you don't like it, then I'd like to quote young JM from Seshego:"pay back the money"

Hi there 

you were well aware that there were challenges with the fork. That being said, yes there was a delay in getting the part for the fork. As agreed earlier this morning, we will cancel the sale and you will get your money refunded by close of business today 

[Edge_Design]

There's no money coming... I don't think he has told you one honest thing since the start of this. I don't even believe he has a daughter - if he does, she doesn't know anything about the money she is supposedly giving him.

the screenshot and message from "daughter " does not even line up😂

[Steady Spin]

What a crock of ****. 

Sorry to say but this sad sack story reeks of a camp fire. 

At least Lionel's name (if that is even real) shows up first page on Google if you look for him.

Well, as I've waited just about as long as swannie for my refund, I'll post my experience with @ysteryetihere too.

I was interested in the same Bianchi frame + fork combo that swannie was. The morning after the ad was posted, I received the same call, and was told someone was going to take the combo for 5k, and if I could do better (5500) then I could have it. I said I'd take it, he asked for a deposit, and I paid R500. 

I received the same replies, the same excuses, and I've been led on for a full month on this bike sale - absolutely nothing. I've travelled to joburg so I could be there when he drops the frame off at my parent's house, and I've tried to make it as easy as possible for him to get the frame to me. Obviously I now know there was never any intention of giving me the frame/fork. 

About the time when this thread was posted, Lionel offered me a refund of the R500 deposit - I have still not received this, despite multiple promises that it would be payed by the end of the day of the message. I can only assume I'm not ever getting this money back either - which does slightly screw me over as a student, but I'll survive.

Hi community, I have on offer -  for today only and in anticipation of tomorrow, fresh torches and pitchforks so we can burn this place to the ground in an orderly fashion. 

also on sale is popcorn.

To be clear I messed up

There are unfortunately 3 people involved 

There is R7500 owed to all concerned. They will all be paid back within the next day or two.

I feel terrible and every time I read a post it makes me feel worse.

im not stalking as someone mentioned, just don’t want it said that I’m hiding 

I will make this right

Stop with your lies already!

You have one excuse after another!

" I messed up" - what a joke! Is that what you call defrauding people!

Don't come with your sob stories about how terrible you feel - you insult the intelligence of all who are now following this saga.

Why after you accepted money from at least 2 interested buyers, which is already a red flag, did not one of them receive the goods? You sir, are scamming.
