[Closed] Good old fashioned forum etiquette!

It's called bargaining.

Just say "No offer etc" next time.

😆

Am I missing something? You didn't offer the asking price, someone else did, what's wrong?

Zappa are you retarded?

Sorry Zappa, but you're wrong on this one. If you'd offered the asking price, or the seller had accepted your offer and then sold to a higher bidder you'd have a valid reason to moan. You didn't, he didn't, you lost the deal.

Sorry, I'm a bit slow when I haven't been drinking.

What is the issue exactly?

You're lucky that last post on that link hasn't got you banned

At least the seller posts on the bike/chat forum.

Zappa, why don't you just bugger off to the MBUK forum and leave this one to the adults.

Wrong link. http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/fsflat-pedals-and-pads

erm, am I missing something;

seller offers 2 sets of pedals
one is sold, you missed out (did he receive an email before yours?)
you then ask for a discount
seller says not worth his while
youthen go on to sound like a complete tXXt

Mark, I'm not going to get upset about a pair of pedals but it's instances like this that remind me how good STW was before disrespectful kids like you were allowed to use the forum.

Although, perhaps you will understand a more basic language - Mark, You are a total C..t.

Like I said, it's not about the pedals, my point is that disrespectful children like you have no place on a CYCLING forum.

MODERATORS - Can we have a a policy where we redirect the kids to MBUK please!

Thanks

what have I missed? am I reading this wrong?

Is calling people the c word for selling to someone who offers the asking price part of the old fashioned forum etiquette you yearn for?

Mate, you need to get a life giving a seller a hard time for refusing a low offer. I think you're bang out of order TBH.

i can't see where you said you would have them, What i see is you say you are interested, and have sent a mail (did that mail say you would have them?) Then Paulosoxo says he'll have them and so gets them. Is that what happened?

Read the link. It was about the 5050's, not the Eastons.

Yes. emailed to say I'll buy them.

😆 @idave
so you sent an e-mail to him saying you would buy them at a price less than he said he wanted for them and then they sold them to someone who offered the price they wanted....why do you think this is wrong exactly?
Can I have your house for fiver YGM 😆

Zappa, you're coming across really badly here. I'd just stop and move on if I were you.

have you ever managed to set yourself on fire? I've just got a feeling that this may have happened to you in the past, am I correct?

Zappa - unless your (private) email contained an offer for full asking price or any reply said that the seller accepted your offer, then you don't really have any complaint

Even if you did offer full price, how do you know you were the first to do so privately ?

What you seem to be moaning about is something I've had in the past too (from a major forum poster quite recently) - offer full price 1st reply on the thread and get told that the item has gone. It's not something I'd do as a seller but it's their prerogative and I bet it happens loads

(If you'd pm'd me an offer I'd probably reply asking you to repeat it on the forum - why hide what you're saying anyway ?)

He probably needs reminders to breathe as well.

Hi nuke

That is a good point.

so, you offered him full price in the mail?
Instead of saying "I'm interested, YGM" you shoulda said "I'll have them"

£25 and they're yours, I'll get the seller to redirect them 🙂

I'll give you £16, posted! 😀

Zappa - I don't know what it is you're referring to - could you post a link?

"What is the issue exactly?"

To summarise; Zappa's a fudd.

I was going to offer £17 but Dr mungus said something first so i guess his lower bid is binding on the seller then,drat [shrugs]

[i]Yes. emailed to say I'll buy them.[/i]

paulosoxo did request pics first...there are no written rules as it's purely up to the seller but it looks to me that the seller employed the etiquette of letting the first person to show interest to have first refusal.

[i]That is a good point.[/i]

Thank you 8)

I'm a bit drunk now, but it seems to me the oP is a bit of a eejit and should stop digging the hole he's standing in right now

Baffled, good buy at 20 quid

[i]What you seem to be moaning about is something I've had in the past too (from a major forum poster quite recently) - offer full price 1st reply on the thread and get told that the item has gone.[/i]

Thanks scaredypants, I offered, full price by email, got a reply, replied and told sold. So, a simple case of what happened there then?

You snooz you lose.

Northwind - nice use of Fud.

A bit of an over reaction. Quality thread tho..

You could have said that in the first post

I reckon you need to post your e-mail (no editing) so we can see exactly what you offered.

I was going to offer £17 but Dr mungus said something first so i guess his lower bid is binding on the seller then,drat [shrugs]

Great, I'm happy to sell them for that.

So Paulo, you send the £20 to marky, marky sends the pedals to Junkyard, Junkyard sends me £16 and Paulo sends me £1. That should sort it. Everyone agreed?
