I would like to warn everyone to buy from loafheads.
It does not matter that some of you know him in person, it's more important to realise how he actually behaves to everyone else:
He offered me two pairs of Campagnolo Strada cranks. I asked him about hairline cracks at the spider-arm junction, he said they have no cracks, so I purchased one of the pairs, in "good condition".
I received his parcel and - voilá - hairline cracks on BOTH sides of the spider-arm junction, two small ones on the left and a deep one on the right. Too large to file out. Defective, expensive crap in the end which I paid 55 quid for.
Here are two close up photos of the cracks in the cranks he sent:

So, he states that he did not try do deceive me, but would you believe someone who sends you such crap? Logically, I don't trust someone anymore who sends me obviously faulty parts, so I asked him to refund me.
But - voilá again - he wants me to return the cranks FIRST before refunding. So he actually dares to ask me to trust him again after making me pay for useless cranks.
If I was selling something so obviously faulty and the buyer asks me to refund, I would be absolutely ashamed, I would sincerely apologize and I would wait not a single second to refund him, but not loafheads. Instead, this guy tries to suggest this would be a "tactic to get an even lower price". Sorry, but I have enough, this is getting pathetic.
This is all a massive pain in the ass and I have never met someone who fails so massively in taking responsibility. Why should I ever trust him and send the cranks back to someone who has already lost every trust. It's his absolutely his responsibility to do the first step to make good for this time-consuming, annoying deal that costs me hours and hours of valuable time, not me.
Sad.
