Have you tried giving more in depth description with photos too rather just a few words?

Oh and welcome to the forum nice of you to join us.

if your advert was anything like your post, they probably were after clarification...

I scoured the classified adds, see something I like, enquire etc. whilst waiting the response, I will dig a little more, see if you've just bought it, (alarm bells), are an habitual buyer seller (quiet alarm bells) , take part in the forum or not (alarm bells)

You get the picture, I guess I'm not alone.

Are you even vaguely aware of the concept of punctuation?

Ps why not just post pics in the first place?

Mike23 - you sound like the other cycle shop owners in here that don't like their customers.

Why have a go at your customers too when your abusing the ethos of the classifieds section...

In all fairness OP, if you don't like it, you don't have to use it do you? Stick your stuff on eBay, bikeradar or pinkbike, where you'll get the respect you deserve.

Don't scare him off everyone. We could learn from this rare, captured forum avoidis classufiedus regularis. We don't get many round these parts

Post pictures in the ad, it really is simple and I just don't understand why the hell anyone would do the "picture on request" thing.?
Price it right.
Use the forum. As said above if you have history and are s serial poster folks will trust you. I don't buy from folks who just buy and sell on here. Or very rarely anyway.

Pook.

We do get a few, normally with a link to their ad on Pinkbike, no photos, no concept of a fathomable description, serial classified only user, and then a big flounce when someone points out the above.

Works both ways, 3 times I have agreed to purchase items only to be told that they have been sold "earlier,sorry mate."

Tbh if someone asks for more info or more photos it would be nice to get an email response just saying if not interested

A tip I was given was to take lots of detailed pics, to be completely honest about the condition and to reply promptly to any enquiries. One has to work hard to make a sale.

Yup, I've had the same. Does the pictures thing baffle people round here.?

There is no need to make nasty comments about a person's spelling.

It all started going downhill when we we stopped from commenting on FS ads where the prices for used parts (regardless of age) is barely £10 off of brand spanking new, especially with the CRC codes flying about.

It's all about the advertising revenue for STW though, isn't it?

Free for sale forum, we can't be putting people off posting and therefore seeing/clicking the ads can we?

Only on here do you get time wasters posting for sale ads and not being arsed posting photos.

If you can't be bothered to write a proper ad, how can people believe you can be bothered looking after your kit?

Yes OP, I mean you.

TBH I cant stand [s]leaches[/s] 'members' who are only here to sell stuff - and to then come on here to complain is just taking the pi$$.

So I reckon people get the pics then decide they didn't waht them, perhaps you could help this process by posting some pics of the kit you are selling.

Good condition nice and straight with centrelock rotors £70

Not exactly a detailed description is it, maybe some other info like the age, use, size of the rotors etc.

I do get a bit annoyed when people post a wtd ad, you make the effort to respond, post or email pics, etc, and then you don't even get the courtesy of a 'no thanks'

I was one of the people who contacted you recently about the 29er wheels you have for sale. All I asked for was basic info to understand what condition they were in, as the detail in your ad said nothing. As you didn't want to spend any time answering, you waited to see if anyone would just buy them, which they didn't. So you obviously replied to my email as I was the only one left who was interested.
To add insult to injury, you then sent an image of the wheels that showed no detail, just the wheels propped against a wall from a distance. So I checked through your history and find out that the image was from the original sellers post when you had purchased them a short time before.
If you cant be arsed to answer questions, then put the information in your ad in the first place and save us all the messing about.

Honestly, some people, come on here to use the Classifieds for nought, then do nothing but moan all day about it. Don't know they were born...

Clearly didn't enjoy his brief secondment into the forum, and has pissed off back to the classifieds, or hopefully, Pink Bike.

Meh, the two magic phrases "no time wasters" and "no offers", what better way to encourage people to buy. From someone else.

I vaguely remember somebody once telling me quite an interesting tale about people in glass houses. I forget the details.
