Updates on my deals with members:
Jaloo II, AKA Sam Lowe. Sold me a WTP Omen frame. Took a while to get here for various reasons, but it showed up. Crappy paint, and a barrel adjuster stuck in the frame. With that said, Sam included a new can of spray and a drill bit for the frame. Also sent an old Ride UK magazine and Road Fools 2 VHS. Great seller. Congrads on the WTP hookup!
Fernado Chesterfield, AKA Noel Rivas. Sold me a brand new Odyssey Elementary with tabs. After the deal, we stayed in touch, and ended up giving me a copy of the Empire DVD. Sorry for not getting back to you on the Mosca, hopefully everything went well with that. I forgot about it as I was sick over break, until I saw your new thread on it. My fault. Great Seller
hopeskill, AKA Nick Foster. I think I could say this is one of the few people I know deserving of a serious ass beating. He kept pushing more parts at me, and I was having it. Sent him $140, confirmed he cashed the check, and heard nothing from him. That was a long time ago, but I was screwed. Terrible seller, and not active anymore.
fitbikeco-Sold me a 30 tooth kink lite. Thing ended up being bent, which sucked, but he claimed it wasn't, although chain wear wasn't even on the sprocket along with failing the glass test. Still an OK guy.
tommyisphat. Bought parts through a friend who also bought stuff from him. He said the stuff was used, but we were still down. Get the box, and the one scratch on the stuff was on my raceforks from getting a race off. Also threw in a TON of extra stuff. Great seller.
The King of Krunk. Bought a 30 tooth tree off of him. Came quickly, and was patient when my mom lost my envelopes, then forgot to send them. As in promised condition. Great seller.
minorityvt. Bought a cromoly primo balance and fit post from him. He too was patient with my motherly issues and shipped quickly. Great condition parts. Great seller.
Sideburns Arbuckle. Bought an Odyssey 11 tooth driver from him. We had some issues over time, with him ending up not having pawls and springs for the driver, but he knocked off money. He too experienced the late money shipping, but was also patient. Driver came and had never been ridden before. Great seller.
Slim Jim, AKA Josh. I bought a 20.75 TT, mid bb Black PW moto from him, with tabs. Got the frame in promised condition. Very easy to cut a deal with and communicate. Fast shipper too. Thanks again man, I love the frame and will for a long time hopefully. Great seller.
eidolon, AKA Cody. Traded my worn 33 tooth tree and $10 for his 10 hour old 30 tooth tree. My mom sent my sprocket out when I was snowboarding as a surprise, without the money. I paypalled him the money the next day and got my sprocket shortly after. Great trader?
Riley Alexander. Bought 170MM Odyssey cranks, without a BB. Great deal and great condition when I got them. Still waiting for a sprocket bolt, which isn't a problem, as I'm not riding the cranks yet. Soon, man! I'm getting my wheels next week and a frame not to long after! Great seller.
Not Danny Tanner, AKA John Proppe. Bought a baby death from him, outside of BG. Got a great deal and great equiptment. Super nice friend of mine, as he answers my stupid video and riding questions along with being a certifible shredder and Aspire Judge. Great seller.
And for deals for friends.
Elgan screwed my friend over for an elementary stem and camo civilian bars. He sold the stem to someone else, after the kid nearly put money in the mail, and sold bars he hadn't received from an outstanding trade with someone else. He cut a deal for a redneck stem, which he shipped way to late, and got my friend in contact with the person who had the bars. As it turned out, they were waiting for Elgan to finish up with them, after 2 months. This turned out to be Riley Alexander, who finally sent the bars. The first time, they were addressed incorrectly, and sent out again, where they are now lost at sea. Rough stuff.
ride_FIT, AKA Blake the polack. I had a friend an hour away from me with a Hamilton that Blake was looking to buy, so I began talking to him about it. Blake was down to trade his rear profile wheel and PSI frame for just the hamilton. A crazy, unfair deal for him that also left himself without a wheel. Had the hamilton shipped to him after some parental issues with my friend, and sent his PSI to my friend. He then sold his profile wheel and sent my friend the money from that, at the request of my friend. I am currently lending him my Odyssey Cassette with Sideburn's 11 tooth driver to a big city until he can get something of his own. He conquently sent me a free coaltion seat and Shook DVD, in great condition, for free. On top of that, he films, getting him bonus points. Great dealer and friend. Hope the wheel is working out for you and your ankle heals quickly.
