eBay and Craigslist finds

why is he a cunt ?
isn't just trawling around the country buying all the frames he can from jumbles from people who cant be bothered to ebay the things themselves ?
Surely he's just doing good business not being a cunt. Please correct me if i'm wrong.

not sure if i would go so far as to call him a cunt (not knowing him) but i would NEVER make a purchase from him again. bought a frame from him recently (my first ebayed frame) and the listing came off as all honesty (rusty bits photographed, etc), every detail well listed, but either that was a way for him to cover up for the other issues the frame had by appearing open, or he just doesn't know frames very well (hard to believe).

the frame's seatpost clamp is fucked, way overtightened so the tabs are mush and a post will not stay up (not photographed or mentioned) almost making it unuseable (only useable with an additional clamp over the top of the tube). in addition some of the brazeons had metal chemically welded into them (the gear cable braze-ons) so they needed drilling and filing for the cables to be run, again unmentioned or photographed.

the braze-ons i could see as an oversight. the seatpost tabs could not be missed.

in addition his communication is awful. after i had payed i asked him to notify me when he had shipped the frame, which he didn't even bother to respond to, let alone notify me of dispatch. and even though i had left him positive feedback (after i had received the frame but before proper inspection, my own fault) he has still not left me any feedback, almost a month after i had bought the frame. i've sent him at least two messages asking for feedback, to no avail.

if it wasn't for the fact that my wife has fallen in love with the frame and she isn't all that bothered about the unsightly additions i've had to make to it, he would definitely have been reported, goods returned.
