These kind of members <snip> dont do any benfit to this forum.
He should be blocked by admin.
That would set a dangerous precedent. It's kinda hard to define at what point someone would be a benefit to the forum.
We only block/ban when rules are being broken. There is no rule which states that a member must have made "X amount of contribution" before being allowed to sell stuff, nor is there one that determines how much you're allowed to ask for what items, or what condition they should be in.
Over the years I've seen several people join with the sole purpose of selling some good (and even rare) parts that would otherwise not have ended up in this community. A lot of regular members really benefited from those.
Just to be clear: I'm not saying that this is going to be one of those cases.
These hubs look like they have never been laced, so technically speaking they could indeed be NOS. However they are f**ked for sure. I personally wouldn't touch these with a ten foot pole, even at a fraction of the asking price.
I haven't seen any Ebay or Facebook listings for this particular set, only the discussion here. IMO the fact that the seller didn't disclose the damage/defects right away is a serious issue. However it is pretty obvious from the seller's first post and other sales topic that he simply doesn't seem to know bike parts that well, only what very similar parts sold for. So I have little reason to suspect malicious intent.
While I understand people's emotions, there really is no need for a lot of posts in this thread. Decide for yourselves if you want to buy them and act accordingly. All you are doing now is needlessly bumping the topic.
While I'm here, I'd like to remind people that any purchases and sales you make on the forum are at your own peril. The staff and mod team can not undo transactions. The best we can do is negotiate and/or remove bad traders from the forum
after problems occur.
