Low-balling Webuycycles

[corrie.kuilder]

So it being Friday and all, who else is getting super low-balled by Webuycycles? They are seriously irritating with their stupendous offers, and it makes me wonder if anybody can take their offers seriously.

act fast as their low ball offfer is only valid for 2 days...

Their standard approach is to offer half from my experience, and rounding down. Wanted to tell them to go jump, but not worth the effort.

Is this a new player or have I just not noticed them.? 🤷🏻‍♂️

In my opinion the same as Bike Market

Was very lus to write them back something when they did it to me recently

 

 

Unfortunately people are desperate these days and I bet they get lots of bikes through this crappy way of doing business

I know of one friend who recently sold to them just because he wasn't lus for the schlep. Cash (and convenience) is king.

 

However, don't call me, I'll call you...

Same principle as webuycars. Sell quickly at a low price. Convenience comes at a price I guess. Not for me thanks.

They're about as irritating as cold calling salespeople and "Is it still available" mense.

Thankfully all of my adverts expired this morning so you can't troll me with an "Is it still available" message until I repost them

Difference is webuycars actually pays fair value, just sold 3 cars to them and all except one were done at more than the dealer trade in offer.

I made a suggestion to admin that we have an option to select when placing an offer to specify whether or not "trade buyers" are welcome to make an offer on an item. Could help mitigate this issue somewhat. 

But yes, I got a pathetic offer from them for my Giant Revolt. Sold it shortly afterwards for my asking price to a very happy buyer

that’s their model, and the same as all the “webuy” type businesses be they motorcycles, cars etc. 

offer low sell high. It’s a business after all. Facts are that bicycles depreciate faster than any other vehicle. Just crazy Butn highlights the actual cost of producing a bicycle.

Had a family friend sell his car to WBC when he bought a new Polo GTI. WBC paid him way more than VW's trade-in offer.

I have had mixed experience with webuycars. Yes, re old vehicles, otherwise GetWorth comes out best.

Guess they'll never buy my bicycles....

Literally offered 50% of asking.
