Has anybody who bought stuff from this ad in the classifieds received anything or had confirmation of posting yet?

peteimpreza, can you remember bustafajones???

why the **** would you buy from him???

new name to me Ton.

Please enlighten me.

I think he was notoriously quick at trousering your money but very slow at sending stuff out
Don't think he was dodgy per se

Uplink that is a good description of the situation for me and some other folk.

Let's hope that is all it is as I have just received an email saying my stuff has been posted.

Pete; I've ridden with Pete (Freeformfivespot) in the alps, he's ok! Might be a bit slow in this case.

not that add specificaly but I did buy some wheels and shifters 2 weeks ago now, apparenly the money never arrived (I've sent him the screen shots showing the money leaving my bank account 2 weeks ago!)

C'mon Pete, I know I said I'm not in a hurry, but I've bought piles of stuff off here and elswhere since then and it's all arrived!

Andy emails I have received from other members are not so encouraging.

Only time will tell.

I bought some stuff (albeit only a pair of skewers) from him recently – didn't post it all that quick but they arrived safe and sound.

He seemed genuine enough to me

I've bought things of him in the past. Took nearly 3 weeks for him to send them, but he EVENTUALLY did. Just hang on…

Hope you get it sorted….

hi

all stuff posted (apart from below), sorry for delays on some things.

spoon – money arrived, took 4 days in total!

Will ship out tomorrow with a Mars or other confectionery item attached as an apology!

Forks also out tomorrow, which is the last thing to post.

Haven't even had time to get bank to put cheques in for some of the things! 😯

Do you have the tracking number for what you have sent me?

You agreed to send it recorded.

Also you had instant payment from myself which you acknowledged.

I have bought stuff from Peter G in the past, stuff does take a while to come,but is worth the wait.

had a phonecall from the man himself this morning to ask for my address, I'm thinking more badly organised than decietfull.

Presumably that's meant to garner sympathy? It's a fair assumption that if you advertise a whole load of stuff you will have to do a fair few trips around, if you don't have the time, hold off advertising it…

Bloody hell I have to get the pitchforks out again? Righteous indignation gets tiring after a while.

What njee20 said, don't advertise stuff for sale without having the time to administer the sales.

Sorry eth3er, I just thought that was an odd thing to say! A trip or two to the bank out of 20 odd parts sold is expected!

Stuff arrived today and is as advertised.

Also arrived today was the stuff I bought off any STW user on Sunday.

Shame the first guy could not act as the second chap did.

Yeah i have been waiting for the forks as they were supposed to have been posted Friday!
Was starting to worry but now i'm a bit more at ease again!!

Forks have arrived this morning and are as described if not better!!

Need to work on you communication though!!! Had me worried for a while!!
