Question - is it possible to block a member, as one can do on the forum side of the Hub ?

(And can one block/ignore threads on mobile?)

I've bought a couple of "sight unseen" Diverge gravel bikes from Bike Market/WebuyBicycles and had good experiences both times.
 

I've also been low balled a ton of times on some of my ads, which i simply ignore.

What is useful is that the bikes they make offers on,  are literally all sold with in a couple of weeks after that, giving me indication of product popularity.

At the end of the day, the fact is that it is annoying that Bike Market is taking advantage (leveraging) a platform like BikeHub to get access to users that post their bicycles on this platform

FWIW i 100% disagree with this statement.

Its an open/free market - you can ignore the offers.

How can it be? Ignore possibly but, We can’t opt out? So we don’t really have a choice.

yes and no

a "hubber" could be picking up the same item for more than what the dealer is offering and yet still walk away with a great deal and the seller also gets a little more out of the deal.

then again if someone wants to sell fast, then yes a dealer makes sense.

what irked me was the tone of the message with a low ball offer that did/does not sit well with me.

..interesting chats and points of view all round. My only observation is… Most okes would rather sell their 4 wheels than  2 wheels! 🤭

Low balling is what makes capitalism work, I say.. comrades, embrace the pain, it ‘any going away. 😅 viva viva BikeHub.
