Not saying there is anything off here but it doesn't look good from an initial glance

Seems to me there's a simple rule for the classifieds here;

Do not buy from anyone who doesn't contribute to the rest of the forum. Classifieds only = hard to trust, IMHO. With the vast amount of stolen kit out there.....

1st guy appears through reading posts to be operating two logins, could just be coincidence/communication thing i suppose.

Check difference between threads started and posted on activity.

Is that an ISg 40' barge pole? I ended up going ISG 05 with my barge poles 😉

People can get away with this and yet TJ is still banned? It's a disgrace.

If you look at the 2 separate flickr pages, they're both Joe Harrison

so definitely double login, probably a trader - as said

It's the second time I concur with CFh, too mcuh for my liking. Since the "new" forum the classified lost it's touch. But I only use to buy to people who post on the bike forum.

Juan, mon vieux, you know I'm right [i]sometimes...![/i]

I propose allowing TJ back in to the all encompassing rugby thread at least! Not sure who else got banned, but, risking talking about bannings, I can't imagine anyone went as far as the East London One did to earn any banning of that magnitude. He earned his. Let them back in.

Am I allowed to ask why TJ got banned? Serious question.

As for the sellers above, I take the approach that almost everything available here and on ebay, if it is 'BRAND NEW' or 'NEVER BEEN USED' is likely going to be stolen.

But I could be wrong.

None of it is stolen.

Lets face it, a fair amount of 'for sale stuff' on here is hardly used... this is STW after all.

I miss Justa and his bargains 🙁

The ADs have now been pulled, I guess the mods didn't like the look of them either

He was idiot bait, and it proved easier to ban the bait than the idiots.

Get a grip, TJ got banned for starting fights in an empty house. You can't expect the mods to vet all sellers. Much as I think this place is poorer for the lack of the Edinburgh one, I see why the mods had to do it, but we have to exercise some caution dealing on here, as you would anywhere on the net.

Indeed, & if you don't like it, then don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

I'm currently advertising a brand new Hope hub in the classifieds, it's not stolen.
Any rip off div could post umpteen amounts of bollocks on this message board and take your money for the fun of it. How does posting bollovks make you trustworthy?

To be fair though, I've just bought a load of kit off here and bike radar and been totally blown away by the attitude of the sellers. Honestly couldn't have been more helpful!

Tj got banned because his view [s]dared to challenged mark's[/s] was the opposite of what anyone else said, regardless of the details, purely because he loved arguing on the Internet

Tizzzzle he was one of those big hitter types, a dying breed thankfully. This place is much better without a few of them.
