Why I'm somewhat hesitant to karma items

[FMJ]

Pay it forward? Yeah, right.

The SRP cantis with the cracked cable holder captain cannondale karma'd back in March.

The only thing I will point out is one of them at one point has been over tightened by the previous owner and therefore won't tighten up as it should.

****So I have been informed they are SRP Canti brakes****

The same set of brakes on ebay.

[brocklanders023]

Very, very bad form :evil:

 

[FluffyChicken]

what/who is a keyword spammer?.....

Somebody who uses words not related to or irrelevant to the item in the title (or even the description) and I get even more annoyed by the still against the terms of using NOT something

i.e.
SRP TITANIUM CANTILEVER BRAKES yeti klein manitou retro

yeti klein manitou
are spammer words

Damn right. I was a beneficiary of said help. You and I (and a lot of other members) are on the same page.

oh well they were his to do with as he please i spose.

Bottom line, yes they are. It gets ugly when some people are hypocrites about it, though.

 

[legrandefromage]

Its happened to me a few times...

I recently won them on a website competition and feel a bit guilty for selling them

Why not go back to the internet site where he "won" them and "un-win" them, in turn spreading the karma from which he initially benefitted.

Definitely not in the spirit with which they were received.

:evil:
