The expat cyclist Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 I was stunned to see how many people get scammed out of their bikes. Let me share some tips with you: If you had to put yourself in the buyer shoes and you had to buy a (for example) R25K road bike advertised online:1. You would ask a sh*t load of questions about the bike - model, frame type, groupset, tires, crashes etc.2. You would find out why the seller is selling the bike. Is there maybe something wrong with it.3. WOULD THERE BE A DISCOUNT IF PAID CASH?4. CAN YOU COME AND LOOK AT THE BIKE? If you are selling your bike online, and it smells of fish: WALK AWAY! A true buyer is someone that also fears that this is a scam! Who buys there kids expensive secondhand bikes? And since when does Ahmed Saleem Mahama cycle?
KlapperKnop Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 And since when does Ahmed Saleem Mahama cycle? don't generalise MJ ....
