Bad traders

@ Mr C. Sorry you've missed the point entirely. Besides the fact that I got in before anybody else, agreed that I would come to you, with the money you requested, and purchase the bike (and having made it clear that I would never split it, or sell it - by the way, Im an Aussie trackie/roadie, and a lifelong fan of Danny C, so I couldn't think of a much better home), the issue here is that a classifieds is where stuff is sold or bought.

There is no room on a classifieds for "conditional sale", or "sale with the option to buy back" (and particularly when that is not mentioned in the ad), as that simply creates the opportunity for unfairness like this. If you had any concerns about selling it to me (or anybody else) you could have voiced them rather than simply dishonouring our agreement (albeit a loose one at that). Thats simply not gentlemanly. And if you had any concerns about parting with the bike altogether, you should simply not have advertised it for sale, but given more thought. I should not have to pay the price for your indeciciveness.

I will agree with you that this is not about the money. Its about having faith that the classifieds on LFGSS operate with the integrity it should. In this instance, that is simply not the case.

(BTW I have been a member here longer than you have - I am The Black Widow - simply forgot my p/w and couldnt retrive it from my workplace so setup a new user to purchase your bike).

Well, how i am i suppsed to know these things if you don't tell me. How would you have acted if you had to decide between a good friend and a guy that just registered on the forum. Maybe you should have mentioned that you are Australian, a D C fan, etc etc. in any case, its done now.

btw your argument is logically flawed. if sales on lfgss were unconditional you cannot rest your argument on the "dibs concludes sale" condition, it could have equally been first with the money at my door gets bike and that wasn't you. also i don't understnad your point about my indeciciveness...anyway

lets not argue, now i understand your disappointment.

I will let you know should my friend sell and i can't buy back.
