Janzen Boulton and undelivered YETI ARC X

It’s going to be sad watching the thread drift off into the ether, but I think it’s done.

She’ll be missed

I agree with the op. The seller probably didn’t intend to steal the money initially. But when he got it as a paypall gift and the buyer was miles away he thought “lets see if he chases”.

Some people are just chronically disorganised and have little concept of the passing of time.

Phew,…right need a new purpose/ scandal/thread in my life now, anthing juicy that I can get my teeth into ?

no I think gone full circle and we are in the first circle

its a tough call support Hora if times get tough but any crap will do

or have a marginal Lancashire Hill Farmer pop round to explain how tough life is up North

You’re wrong Jamie – you’ve missed the drift from lynch mob to discussion over disorganised people/crooks which I reckon is good for a few pages yet especially once someone posts stating that they didn’t post a bike for 15 weeks because their goldfish died and they reckon that’s reasonable.

Just you wait.

And if we still had TJ, Fred, et al on board, I reckon this would still be going at Xmas with lots of claims of straw men, ad hominem, ‘you’re not listening’, etc.

My dad died and was buried in less than 2 weeks.

The world doesn’t stop turning and bills still need paying and stuff still needs dealing with.

The seller has bullshitted the OP and got caught out.

In true form can I be the last to post on this thread and say what a corker….thanks STW the wife is now asking me what the hell im laughing at in the cellar when im “supposed to be working from home”

Where do people from ‘up north’ say they have to go when they need an excuse for not being able to send a text

Prison

Hmm. Ok then, let’s keep knocking seven shades of shit out of this recently deceased horse and see where it takes us.

Prison

The Chatham Pocket suggests otherwise.

If it ever comes to that. Someone with a pretty mouth like yours should have no problem getting access to a mobile in prison.

Hang on now everyone, where’s the seller in all of this? Why haven’t we heard from him?

His TV remote control batteries died, so he’s gone up North for a month to grieve.

…and as you know, telecommunications and the internet, stop at the Watford Gap.

True. I’m currently sitting in Wimpy at the services on something called “WiFi”.

Got to get back to Sheffield for tea time.

Well what a lovely looking bike after all that, nice one OP I think you’ve got one hell’uva bargain (despite the wait and anxiety attack you’ve clearly had) It’s a corker and I hope you have masses of fun on it.
This thread I’ll miss, it’s caused me some great moments of hilarity and entertainment and I think all those that posted in good faith have done themselves very proud.
But, I’m with Jamie, it’s done before the bitching starts and ruins it. Maybe Mods could end it here and now for future wonderment..

Fanx Lads 😆

No sweepstake for how much it’s going to be relisted for?

Money shot

Might I go so far as to suggest: Bargain at £1000 posted

I wonder if he’ll bother to clean it before selling it on?

Of course he will. That’s the added value.

£1000 you say. hmmmm

Okay fella’s , I’ve read the 18 pages. most of which was either helpful or humorous. I don’t know how I’ve gotten to the point of having to defend myself. but here goes. I have a slight problem and have had for about 30 years. I love bikes, mountain bikes and BMXs mainly but I’ve always had a slight soft spot for cx bikes. I buy more bikes and parts than normal people. I sell significantly less than I’ve ever bought. I very rarely get back what I’ve paid for a bike never mind making money!

I purchased the Giant in December, since then I’ve logged a few more than 1500 strava miles on it. I purchased a thompson post, thompson seat clamp, sdg seat, xtr 9 speed shifter, new bb, hope brake pads and 1x floating rotor for around £200.

I then advertised the bike, as room is an issue and the money wouldve been nice. I advertised it, I believe, after having decided to go for the Yeti.
I described it as being a bargain as I believed it to be true, I still do, Its a lightweight, well specced, fully functioning cross country bike.

It is now slammed and it is ready for my eldest son who is almost 11 to use when he grows out of his isla beinn 26.

Mods feel free to delete whenever you deem it neccesary

You’d have expected that if you did more than just post in the classifieds normally 😉

hazzajoe WHY do you feel the need to defend yourself? most folk on here rinse through and have too many bikes.

The only thing that concerned me was the PP Gift part.

This is STW, you’re wrong even when you’re right.

Glad it worked out well for you OP.

Whoever guessed that midday would be delivery time, pm me and I’ll Send you a Yeti sticker

^^ i think that would be me

I’d be concerned the dodgy stellar knows the OP’s address & that there’s a lovely Yeti CX he’s probably already ‘re advertising

… and a load of other goodies too having had a quick browse around his photobucket account.

dodgy stella?

The bottom line is you can’t trust someone who has so much Rapha gear…

dodgy stella?

Think we’ve all been there 😐

Rapha gear…

Speaking of which, is it just me or is their styling a bit rubbish at the moment? Have a couple of bits of their kit from a few years ago and it’s nice stuff and still get their mail shots. The single band on one side and the pastel shades all seems a bit boring and lazy.

I have looked through The online catalogue his Photobucket,
Where’s Janzen’s email address for forward orders?

Stopped following this at p13 last night. Anything appeared yet? What’s this about a dodgy lady named Stella? Was it Stella who setup a fake paypal account to steal a yeti? Just off out to buy some fence posts. Confused of Tunbridge Wells.

It turns out that Jenson Button is a girl named Becky and the bike wasn’t really nicked after all.

Bloody Johnny Foreigners Come Latelys! Put in the time, and it’s so much more painful rewarding.

well if that’s the case, she ain’t pretty!!

You think she could have got Jenson to run her down the post office…

You know those hyped “box set” series, like the US remake of The Killing, that you invest loads of time in, keep you gripped and entertained, then let you down with the ending?

That.
