Pet hates on Bikehub ads

[Prince Albert Cycles]

Mine is 

Groupset for sale ..and then what is for sale is not a groupset but some parts of a groupset 

What is yours ?

"Urgent sale", then the ad stays up forever.

Or Full XXXX groupset for sale but then the rear derailleur or shifters are YYYYY 🙄

I just hate when the year of the bike model listed is way off. Rather don't put a date.  I once PMd a seller to let him know that the bike listed as 2014 was actually 2003.  He changed the add to 2009!

Selling a  Specialized" but can't/don't spell Specialized correctly 😅

Come now. Brand new? Never used? This guy should consult a dictionary.

Yes. I don't think people fully grasp the constituents of a grouppo. Often, the crank is not included. technically, the BB forms part of it too..

Not that long ago a groupset included hubs as well.

My pet hate of the day - only because I am browsing - Hubbers who don't know the difference between a rim and a wheel (or a fork and a shock).

Every second ad with something listed as “Used - Good” and at the bottom of the ad “has a small crack” or “x is missing” or “just needs y” or “selling for parts”. 

🤦 😠

As a person who recently sold a "half" groupo there is a practical problem to this.
There is no such category on the Hub for a groupset without a crank.

I had to list mine under groupset (because I don't want to sell 8 things separately just because I don't have the cranks included)
