Whooooo. Here's a good definition of cultfor you. No plans for world domination here, just like to ride bikes and build old ones.
manitou916":3h8uclpp said:So, it's perfectly acceptable for the RetroBike community to conspire against an eBay seller by agreeing amongst themselves who is going to bid on a item - which could lead to the seller receiving a lower price than he would have otherwise - BUT anyone trying to openly sell an item for profit on RetroBike is labelled a rip-off merchant and should be ignored?
Stongly worded stuff.
1. Think few people would disagree ebay artifically inflates prices. £ 1.5K for a 15 year alu frame?
2. If someone on here is bidding for something why get in a pointless bidding war? Although that said I along with most others would bid against another retrobike member if something was wanted badly enough.
3. Most people have no problem with people openly selling for profit or making a little cash by wheeling and dealing as long as it doesn't take the piss.
