Should be chucked up against a redbrick wall and shot imo.

Here's the thread showing he is after £500 profit on a bike he only just bought second hand on ebay a day or so ago.

http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/dialled-lovehate-ss-top-spec

Really grates me as it surely goes against the grain with seeing this day in day out now on the bike forum classifieds.

It's plain wrong.
So please do feel free to phone him Marcos - and let him know what YOU think.

carry on!...

So don't buy it
Maybe not 'in the spirit' but nothing illegal about trying to make money
But posting someone's mobile number on the Internet presumably without their permission is a shooting against a wall offence in my opinion, just saying
(I know the number is on the advert but you just brought it to a bigger audience and suggested people call and give him sh1t )

Its worth what the market will bear.

Whats the big deal if he makes a profit? The classifieds is not a charitable institution not now, not before, probably not ever.

Yes Druid I know but it's brought to a whole bigger and different audience now
The comments on his ad where sufficient to put people off, no need for this head too

He's certainly had a few bikes to sell over the last couple of months...... 9 in 2 months? That would put Ton to shame 🙂

It's called forum etiquette, if you cannot abide by it, you either get shot against a wall or bummed, his choice now at the end of the day.

That's for removing the number onceinalifetime
I don't like scammers either and that's what he is but let the mods deal w him rather than posting numbers up

He's having a laugh trying to get a grand for that. If he's in it for the profit he won't make much on the full bike.

He's also got it on eBay as a BIN.

Sale was not in the spirit , bike is over priced, good spirited outing on the original ad but after that it was down to STW to GAS
