    There was a properly dodgy seller here a while back. Not sure of his/her name but have an idea what it was. Does anybody remember him/her, could you let me know the name? Asking only as amongst the loads of bits I’m buying from the classifieds some seem to come from the person in question and I’m not particularly keen on getting swindled. No details provided as I don’t want to badmouth a potentially innocent person.
    Thanks!

    Why not just post the user name up and ask for refs?

    carl hammond i think was slk something or other (forgive me if I’m wrong)

    freeform5spot is the only person ever to stiff me on this forum, scumbag of the highest order, reknowned for posting pics of a1 condition parts then sending tatty used stuff, missing bits or worn out crap

    Not to start this up again but freeformfivespot/bustafajones etc was a decent guy and I’ve had nothing but good dealings with him.

    Spread the love guys!

    ff5spot – He seemed to take forever but got there in the end in my experience. Saying that I wouldn’t go there again knowingly.

    I wasn’t checking you mate! Mr Anderson has been on the black list for way too long. If I thought you were him I’d be sending a bomber squadron your way 😉
    Needed to check one of the other names – Paul Norwell, got a couple of emails.
    BTW If I were you I’d ban him from being called anything even remotely similar to your name.
    Let me know as and when you’ve sorted the bits out (money waiting). Cheers!

    Bustafajones lives!

    Either his ban after the legendary 5 spot transaction thread has expired or else he’s been slowly building up his new id under the radar

    Be careful:)

    Would be good to have a “list of shame”? I have sold a number of bike bits over the years on here and only had good experiences so far and found the buyers to be decent fellow bikers. Maybe I’ve been lucky. In each case I have had a long chat with the buyer to make sure they are genuine mtb’ers and been happy to accept a cheque from them after.

    There was that famous thread about realman recently too with those “good as new” brakes.

    Slight hijack – has Hairychested left the Forum? He’s not posted for a long time.
