Bad traders

Bronto bought a Gipiemme track chainset - I posted it a bit later than I had intended and then it did not arrive - he's asked for a Gipiemme track or a Campag track as a replacement - I do not have one of either type (they are not especially common) but the value of a Campag track would in any case be about three times what he paid for the Gipiemme...

Well that's not exactly a fair description of what happened. You sent it ten days late, I have written 18 PM's you have responded incompletely to 6 of them, and never (except when it was about you getting money) before I have reminded you. You did nothing to try to find the chainset before I repeatedly asked you to, etc. etc.

Worst part is the communication which has been really really bad. Regarding the Gipiemme or campa request I would of course have paid whatever extra it was worth, the only thing I said was that I would not accept some Andel chainset as it's going on a vintage track bike with Gipemme and campy parts.

After having problems I looked up this thread where you can see almost the exact same complaints pop up every two months or so. So yeah, you sell some nice parts, but maybe you should think about some of the feedback you been getting and work on your communication.

All that said, the good news is that I picked up the chainset in the post today, no explanation where it has been for four months, address was correct etc. I'm going to check it out as soon as I get home (still at work) but if all is correct then this is over and done with as far as I'm concerned.

But seriously, dude, you need to communicate better. That is all.
