I won't buy/sell anything on here unless the other bod has at least 50 or so posts on the forum. I'm very wary of people with one or two posts that pop up and say that they're selling some amazing retrobike or want some rare part.

Give them another week and then get medieval on their a**.

I hear you, believe me, and it's probably easier to have a general policy, but a guy's got to get started around here somehow

Understanding where you come from though, it'd be my policy to get an item into the hands of someone who's been here a while before expecting payment. Just saying...Don't completely cut us new guys out. It's bad enough that this Yank can't find anything like this community a little closer to home.

Having said that, I sold you a chainring when you had less than 5 posts! I would probably have thought twice if I was buying something from you though

Glad this is OK now.

Ah. I wondered why enquiries from me (and my nephew) (who both have 100% and green stars on ebay but have low posts on this forum) met with a blank. Particularly from one member with a lot of bikes (controversial!).

For the record, I am still waiting for a rim from another member, cheque sent a month ago. No names (yet). There's such a thing as courtesy, at least oop North. (more controversy).
