Bad traders

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.

Rep to you for the spirit, a Thomson post for a donation of his choice? Real poor showing, I'd definitely say name and shame. You should ask for your post back too.

Wasn't hard to find

mroli, demand the seatpost back ASAP.

Write in capital eh? alarm bell are ringing.

Looks in decent nick too, that's £30 odd gone missing.

That is miles out of order!

Thanks Guys - this is the correspondence I had with Vibez - he has been identified by the thread above:

This was the deal that we had on the seatpost:

I'll tell you what. If you want it - you can pick it up from me (SW13 or EC1A) or I'll post it and you can work out how much you want to pay for it and pay that money to the justgiving page of our charity - http://www.justgiving.com/100climbs

Seatpost picked up on 18 April 2012. No donation left so I sent the following email:

"Mroli: Hello mate, All OK with the seatpost? Cheers M" 20 April 2012

"Vibez: Hi The Seatpost Is Great Thanks ! I Shall Donate Some Money After I Could Deposit Some Money Onto My Bank Account ! Thanks" 20 April 2012

"Mroli: Mate - a polite nudge to remind you. www.justgiving.com/100climbs 30 April 2012

"Mroli: Dude - its 2 weeks since you came and picked up the seatpost. I'd appreciate you making a donation or arranging to return the seatpost to me. We did this deal on trust - please don't abuse that. Cheers M" 2 May 2012

"Vibez: Hi I Apologize About This, My Account Is On Overdraft And It Won't Let Me Take Out Anymore Money, Soon As I Sort This Out I Will Make A Donation" 2 May 2012

"Mroli: It is now over a month since you took the seatpost from me. Again - I reiterate, please make a donation immediately or return the seatpost to me. If you couldn't afford to make a donation, you should not have taken the seatpost. I have been incredibly patient - but you still have not made a donation, have not contacted me to tell me of any problems other than when I have contacted you and I am pretty hacked off. When I deal with people on LFGSS, I do it on trust and you are abusing that at the moment. I am pretty hacked off - so either let me know where I can pick the post up from, or make a donation. Not meeting your end of the bargain is effectively stealing - and you are stealing from a charity. M" 21 May 2012

No response to that email. No further response.

I have a mobile number, but hope that he'll see this and be shamed into paying up.....

He sound like a kid.

251 posts on here. Bought and sold stuff. Asked for assistance in getting a stolen bike back. He was young, but certainly old enough to know better.

I swear I saw that bike at the Hunt (not racing)

Of course he isn't racing, he's hunched up like a ship figurehead on that bike of his.

Needs some racing spacrs eh Scble?

oh man. I rode with him during a shoot a while back. He ran into me from behind twice and fell off his bike skidding two times in 10 minutes. Seemed nice enough dude to me anyway. But I wouldn't try to stick anything about good or bad behaviour, riding skills or alike to a 15 year old :D

Oh he's watching this thread and probably about to reply to it!

Facebook ohana bomb anyone? do they have a fb page?
