Re: Re:
unfortunately the items your after are both in high demand, and limited in availability. ppl with such items don't tend to need to look at want ads to move those said items. and unfortunately in these cases, the following phrase applies… "the early bird gets the worm"
anyway, back on topic and free bump for the seller!

Re: Re:
That's not quite the point of a "like-minded" community is it?
Over here in Blighty, we generally acknowledge the principle of patience and queueing - generally speaking, it's probably polite to check if there is anyone wanting such "in high demand" items for this very reason - people who have been looking for a year or more and made the community aware of their need, really should have first refusal on them rather than any old user that happens to be online at the time that's made no effort to find them previously....
It's as offensive to me as forum users that buy items cheap on this very forum and then flip them shortly afterwards for considerable profit. It's simply impolite. Some might say it's pretty rude, but there you go.
"Early bird gets the worm"? You might just as well have said, "you snooze, you lose" - which I find somewhat offensive also. Apologies for having a career and a family and not being able to spend every waking hour on the forum.

IMHO:
I think this is an off topic discussion. This is a topic owned bij Owwwk. We should respect that.

Re: Owwwwk's MTB for sale topic (Syncros,Cook,Ringle)
Thnx Barnefield.
I have chosen not to put the parts on eBay. The "Asking for" prices are reasonable and fair. If not tell me. Disadvantage is that it's a first-come first-serve mechanism (instead of eBay who is not).
On topic:
Some extra parts have been sold but I will not be able to update this topic tonight. Same for the size questions. I have got the sizes but willl only be able to answer all questions tomorrowevening.
Sorry
