Because they posted on here that they wanted a Thomson inline seatpost. I had one lying around, pm'd the guy a pic and said if he wanted it, all he had to do was make a donation to a kids charity I run (I left the amount up to him). He rode over and picked it up and said he'd put the money in on justgiving. He hadn't paid after a couple of weeks. I pm'd him to 'remind' him and he said he didn't have any noney, but he'd do it soon. I waited a couple of weeks and sent him a reminder. I know he has seen the reminder, but still no donation.
I went on trust - the bloke looked me in the face and took the seatpost. He had a decent lo-pro.
Just the principle of it I guess - LFGSS is a community within the wider cycling community, everyone I have dealt with on here previously has been honest and it is guys like this that leave a sour taste and stop the trust.
