Anyone know user "rents"

I agree, nothing wrong in borrowing if you are harbouring and why not given you have gone to the trouble to provide a safe haven for someone else's property for longer than was expected, but if the space is not needed, good on you for being so benevolent and good on you anyways for being so helpful to another. As to what has happened to the owner who knows as ill can mean many things not all of them short lived, but maybe life has taken the owner in other directions, but he knows who has his purchase is a good sport, but not everywhere is online and where the net is not all can be that bothered with it as work can be too tiresome in some places, for we are pretty blessed in these isles regards leisure time, the same does not exist in some other places.

But again, use the thing if you find it agreeable and who knows when and if the owner appears, it being more attached to you than he, he might be happy with that, that there are some people left in this world that can be trusted.

Now legality aside, it is me if someone entrusts me with something of theirs, I will keep it in the same regard as my own stuff, but me being a bit of a hoarder, I can always find somewhere to store something and if that something infringes on life, hey, I can work around it like I do with my own crap and with that, a sure sign a single male lives here... but it's wearing thin.

I've gone through everything Cyfa...

He approached me by PM (as I had posted on the thread saying I was willing to collect for people). Those have now auto deleted...

I have looked at his 4(!) posts on here and I believe he may be in Toronto...

When he approached me to collect the bike, he said he needed it sending down to London.

Now I think about it, all the PM's were sent in the middle of the night - time diff etc.

If he is in Canada, it's not going to be cheap to post. I sent a bike to Chine recently and that was over £230 after shopping around...

Looks like we've found the rightful owner and strangely it's not the guy who originally contacted me to collect it.

Just waiting for proof that the chap claiming it is the rightful owner.

Im confused, the rightful owner as in the guy you colelcted it for??

As he paid.

 

[gavinda]

That sounds sus. Why did he not reply here or pm on his prev name.

I'm getting screen shots sent across of the paypal payment for the original eBay auction... it's complicated, but the chap has provided me with enough detail to consider it his.

rents is in Toronto and from his 4 posts i have ascertained that he wanted to enter into a deal with fellow members to buy and exchange frames in different territories... This obviously didn't work and I have great reason to believe he never paid for the bike.

By "outing" it and putting the photo's up, it looks like a wrong has been righted...

Shame I bought a back wheel for it! Seriously though the wheel will go on my Bianchi project!

 

[cyfa2809]

So i guess he claimed back through paypal?

All bike shops have a policy concerning bikes left,not picked up by its owners :?
That said,imho keep the bike and put aside its cost incase the original owner turns up months later and throws a wobbler

It is a bit of a piss take to leave it so long without contact
Anyone attempting to get it from you and they dont have ALL the details id possibly tell to naff off

I waiting for email scans of the original PP payment...

Cyfa, I suppose it matters whether he paid gift or not..

It's a bit of a shame and as far as I can see not some guys fault... but it does make you wary about collecting on behalf of other people...
