Iv ask for some seller history elsewhere, he has nothing.
But he is willing to do PayPal normal NON GIFT.

Should I go for it!

Any one live in Bridgewater? Can collect?

This is the conversation

Hi
Are your brakes ispec A or B?
The code on the lever will tell you. If it ends with a B it’s funny enough ispec b.
Thanks Stoddy

Ask for a photo of him with a fish on his head

I’ll take the fish on head photo if OP doesn’t want it.

To be fair on his history, Bridgewater has only just got the internet!

Did not ask for a fish picture, but asked for a selfie with the brakes.

Let’s see

So, you don’t trust the seller but are happy to trust someone else on the Forum that you’ve not met but happens to live in/near Bridgewater? 🙄

Some people take this internet buying too far, very small amount of scammers out there really, I concur with bradleys comment to be perfectly honest, if you can’t take a risk for half the price buy elsewhere

I’d trust someone who has history of posting not someone who has joined one week before.

You all know it’s best to do homework first, if I did not I would leave too much chance for everyone to take the pee

Hay stu. Did you not see my reply to bradly? I would have got them from ribble if they posted to Cyprus!

He’s got a point though – unless you’re dumb enough to pay PP gift, you’ll get reimbursed if your brakes don’t show up.

Doesn’t strike me as classic scam really – he’s not asking for gift or western union or somesuch. Even though he can’t spell the name of the town where he lives. I suppose that’s pretty standard for Somerset. 🙂

just to point out – he does also have a set of 2013 boxxer WC for sale for £150! 😯

I live in Taunton so happy to pick up from bridgewater next week. Probably Wednesday or Tuesday night if that’s any help.

Thanks rob
I might be in touch, going to see if the picture comes in.

ocsemhe *SCAMMER* Shimano XT BR-M785 Brakes for sale! (11) *VERIFIED SCAMMER, DO NOT BUY/SELL* 51 mins ago

Just got this.
Did any one here press the scammer button?

Good to be cautious.

Well blow medown, turns out I’m too trusting, and to the op, not just Ribble sell them, I mean any other place, you could buy from, you’re always taking a risk when buying second hand

Seems a bit strange from the scammers point of view though. Meh whatever. Good call stoddys.

Lol. Bridgewater is a strange place. Nice swimming pool though

Sad fact is we all need to be careful.
I don’t mind buying 2nd had, I’ve brought loads of stuff, and the brakes were priced right but it’s best to always look for history.
You generally able to get a gut feeling, I just wanted to see what you guys thought.

I would buy new if I could get ispec A m785’s

Does Bridgewater still smell of shite. Always did when passing on the motorway when we were kids

There are some right dodgy bastards on pink bike

Those Boxxers look a bargain. I wonder, does he take paypal gift ?

sjs cycles is there though so some nice thorn touring bikes to look at whilst shit sniffing!

We only go there for swimming hadn’t notice the smell of shit but it does look shit 🙂

Near to the quantocks though! Every cloud

As for pics of his hands.
If he is from Bridgwater you’ll be able to tell.

Bridgewater 😉

Was going to say surely as its spelt with an E that’s the place up north not the place thats full of inbreds with webbed feet 😆

The OP isnt so much of a dick then afterall is he fellas!!

I dunno, what was the original question ?

Does Bridgewater still smell of shite.

When I last there, yes.

It’s a cellophane factory to blame, don’t ya know.
