MaxUmis Posted February 18, 2010 Share I'll sell to the first oke that shows me the money. It happens way to often that someone says "please hold it for me" then disappears like mist before the sun. I agree that in a perfect world, if someone says they'll take it, they will. But this is far from a perfect world and blacklisting or marking someone for taking the first cash is bad form. just my first cash offer of 2cMaxUmis2010-02-18 05:53:11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robodog Posted February 18, 2010 Share Think there should be some process like ebay where u get rated as a buyer and seller with a place to give an view feedback' date=' not sure how much effort it will take to set up but could be usefull and add the buyer rating to the hubber id. If you look at the level of activity on the Classifieds then it makes sense. [/quote']This has been suggested before but nothing has ever come of it.

Minion Posted February 18, 2010 Share I see normal business protocol doesn't apply on the hub. I'll only deal with guys with a reasonable number of posts from now on.I'd say it's completely normal and acceptable business protocol to try to minimise risk by giving priority to suppliers or customers with whom you are familiar.I'm extremely wary of dealing with people posting anonymously, with no history that I can use to judge them.Edman2010-02-18 05:56:36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I see he has read the PM but not responded in a reasonable amount of time, I move to the next guy.slick2010-02-18 06:02:45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buyer and seller ratings being one of them. More details to follow next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fair, and in all likely hood what I'd do too. I just think the problem is more with the potential buyers out there, than the sellers. It's because of flaky buyers that guys adopt a first cash strategy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted February 18, 2010 Share This has always been a tough subject... When I first started selling stuff on the hub I tried to give stuff to the "dibbers" but after being jerked around a number of times I moved to "first guy that puts cash in my hand gets the goods". Sometimes the dibber delay was genuine (a kid needing to convince his parents) but sometimes the guy just wanted to "book" the goods while he made up his mind. Either way - the longer the dibber makes you wait the less likely you are to sell the item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nish4 Posted February 18, 2010 Share I have personally found that the first pm that gets through is normally the one who gets the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, first guy with mula gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldron Posted February 18, 2010 Share Something was bothering me about this thread and I just figured it out... Sean - what the hell are you doing trying to buy Crank Bros pedals in the first place? All they're good at is trapping your foot in place when you crash and attaching themselves to your shoe instead of your bike so you end up walking around with an axle on your bike and a pedal on your foot. Very uncomfortable for portages... Ok now you can me. I can get you some Shimano ones - the only difference bwteen them and the wifeeggbeaters is that the Shimanos work...

shaunh Posted February 18, 2010 Share I advertised my MTB for sale. The first guy sent me a pm 16 minutes after my post and another guy posted about a half an hour later calling first dibs.Thereafter I had another guy interested.However, the 1st guy got the bike as he was first because imo responded first. If I am very keen on an item I will always pm than post a reply. just my 2cshaunh2010-02-18 07:43:48 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
