tasty selection.

why are you selling?

funding a new project I think, I recognised those stuff from his old Bob Jackson.

how long has this new project been going on? 75% of this guys threads are For Sale threads.

Since January yeah, I've been selling stuff since Feburary for my new build, only managed to finished it up a couple weeks ago thought.

yeah but you're not a hardcore seller mate, you're actually part of the fgss communty.

sorry max72 i don't mean to sound disrespectful but you maybe should take your stuff to ebay. you'll probably get more money for it anyway!

Come on, there's no need to say that. If you think he's being unreasonable then maybe send him a PM but no need to call him out in this thread. It's a very nice selection of stuff and the prices are reasonable so I don't think there's really a need to call him out.

to be fair, i'm usually the one in your shoes telling people to fuck off out of peoples classified threads if they aren't interested or have nothing positive to say. this is the first time i've said something about someones classified since day 1.

his prices are not bad.

they're not bad, you're right. i just wanna know why he's selling?

Sorry LPG, i didn't mean to offend you

would you split the seat post and saddle. i just wabt the seat post. if so, how much?

Why are people getting on sellers' cases at the moment? It doesn't matter why he's selling them, if he wants to sell stuff, he can. It also doesn't matter how many For Sale threads he's started, he has every right to do so.

And I honestly mean no offence lpg, but you have no right to tell him to go sell his stuff on ebay.

I understand that others have raised the point about mass sellers using the classifieds to make money, but as long as they sell for cheaper than retail, everyone is a winner. I also know the point has been made that the classifieds aren't here for generating a profit for individuals - well, that's not a rule you can enforce, and it would also be unacceptable to dictate in this way. The whole point of the classifieds is to sell fixed gear parts to the dedicated fixed gear community - taking his stuff to ebay would only detract from that ideal, so in a way you are contradicting yourself there.

Sorry lpg, this isn't all aimed at you at all, but I find it hard to hear what some people have been saying recently - I'm referring to quote in the OP of the thread about rules for classifieds.

i just think that if you're making good money off this forum, you've got to give something back. it's only fair.

maybe there could be some kind of forced donation or something.

I understand what you're saying, but I don't think there is anyone here making good money as such. And you could argue that by selling all these parts, this is their service to the forum - and it isn't exactly easy money.

Let's say seller A goes and buys parts X, Y and Z from a jumble, then offers them on here for twice what he paid - maybe items of value £20-40 pounds - and he includes postage. He's had to go and buy them in the first place, pay a little to the jumble organiser, maybe pay for some petrol getting there, get them home, post a thread on here, respond to questions, and then ship them. It doesn't sound like such easy money now - and I for one do not have the time or option to visit jumbles, so I'd gladly pay his asking price.

At the end of the day, how do you draw the line? When does the amount that someone sells become too much? It's all opinion, and that's why I don't think you can impose rules on sellers. It just isn't fair.

And besides the point, it sounds like max72 is selling parts off one of his own bikes, not retailing random parts, so maybe this isn't the place for this debate at all.

Well said 100% agree people don't see the bigger picture buy something for £10 sell for 20 great profit,well it's not when you factor in the above,i have had a few nasty pm because i sell a lot of bikes quite flankly i have stop caring what people think.
I want be selling any more cheap bikes thats for sure,that way people won't think they are nicked or whatever people comment on.

No other model marketplace in the world allows you to cut out the middleman and connect seller + buyer as easily and as efficiently as this forum. With eBay, you have to pay fees, at a jumble you have to hire a stall, on gumtree you don't have a proper audience, in all other forums, you have to be a member for X amount of time or make X amount of posts or pay a fee, like bikeforums.

You don't know how easily seller A got those parts, you can't really say it's more trouble than it seems. I reckon it's far easier to sell on this forum where you can get cash in your hands the next day, or by paypal, less hassle too.

Here's a prime example : http://www.londonfgss.com/member4844.html. This forumer joined three months ago and he already has made around 70 threads, almost all of them For Sale threads, and he doesn't live in London.

I know the line is blurred and it's difficult to enforce rules, but the issue is only going to get bigger as the forum grows, and the economy stays in recession. I do think something needs to be done, I am just not sure what.

Again, nothing personal towards max72, if I knew you personally i'm sure we'd be friends.

So this is a forum for people who just live in London then.

would you split the seat post and saddle. i just wabt the seat post. if so, how much?

and how much for the saddle if you do?

Link doesn't work. But if i'm right that was meant to link to organicorigin? If so, then I had a nice pair of cinelli drops delivered to my door from him this morning. Cheap and easy.

So what's wrong with that exactly? Why does it matter that he joined 3 months ago? People are clearly liking what he has, or he wouldn't have made and sold 70 threads worth of stuff. I really don't understand why this is objectionable.

Fine, then maybe he should be donating.

Donating to the forum? Like a tax, so that he can bulk sell?

Actually that might work, but again it's difficult because it's a question of drawing the line. And of course whether or not it's fair to charge the tax in the first place.

Yeah, kind of like a voluntary tax. I don't see why high volume sellers should have a problem with it. Why isn't it fair? Is it fair that VB has to fund the forum out of his own pocket? Like I said, if you're regularly making cash thru the forum, and that's defined by most of your threads/posts being in classified, you should be giving something back anyway. The fact that there aren't any rules on FGSS shouldn't preclude donating. If our community as a whole don't want rules, then we need to be more responsible and aware of the fact that the forum doesn't pay for itself.
