Bad traders

He's very much for real. He's always been as straight as an arrow when I've dealt with him.

Merged. It has been discussed in this thread earlier.

Perfect with the merge. My bad.

Hope he get it worked out.

It could be nice with at mass message from him anyway, since shit happens.
Sometimes people buy things because we need them :-)!

I'll wait, since he seems busy.

There HAS been a lot of complaints about him and it does seem he is having problems at home.

Maybe he should put selling on hold until he sorts his home life out.

Myself, I have had nothing but good experiences with Hilary, but I agree if you cannot commit to turning a deal around in reasonable time, it's probably best not to start one. We can all be understanding of personal circumstances, which have to take priority, but when you are proposing an exchange of goods for money, you are obliged to provide a service of some sort....even if it's just communication.

The best thing is to go and visit the man, you will see how much bikes are his life. From just the brief conversations it is clear that he has a vast collection of goods. Without traders like Hilary, we'd all be struggling to finish our projects so easily with great/affordable parts. There must be a huge amount of bikes on here that owe something to the man, that in itself is a great achievement. Definitely not a bad trader, maybe just spread a bit thin at the mo.

Well said

So as I want to get in touch with him as I'm looking for a fairly obscure part and hoping he can help, it sounds like it's best to email him. Could someone PM his email pretty please?

Isn't it in almost all his threads ?

Otherwise it's here:

Tagging to me is being nothing more than a coward, if you have something to say, just put your name to a post and say it.

totally

James is a cunt

Does this mean coventryeagle doesnt swallow?

Just for my records like.

happy to vouch for Hilary too - as he's local I have collected many a bargain from his house (which is a proper alladins den)

Best wishes to Him and Irene

So er, about a week ago I agreed to buy an item from a member for a not inconsiderable mutually-agreed price and I asked for payment details. No reply for 3 days so I PMd a few days ago and he still hasn't replied. He has been active on the forum in the meantime. Obviously if he's changed his mind there's nothing I can do about it, but he should at least PM me to let me know. Fucking pisstake. Should I put his username in this thread or not?

Yes.

Send him a PM expressing your dissatisfaction and resolve it with him. If you explain that you might put his username in the bad traders thread then you may get a proper explanation.

I prefer Smallfurry stuff ;)

Right.

**BENSKI

**We agreed a mutual price on the Gazelle Champion Mondiale frame on 1st January. I heard nothing from you so sent a message on 4th January (I had seen that you had been active since your last message). On the 8th January I sent you another message asking that if you had changed your mind, the least you could do was send me a message back. Today is 9th January and you have been active since I sent the last message, and yet I still haven't heard any response from you. I don't want the frame any more.

Ok...

Coventry eagle is a vajazzling hypocrite who swallows....
MrBrown is a coward, who has never commented on his actions, but got Coventry eagle who has swallowed a massive amount from MrBrown to fight his corner....
Love can make us do strange things!! **

No1 asks for advice from forum....

No1 takes advice and offers Kona to the first bidder/oops dibber MrBrown
(No1 would have offer the frame to the other bidder roryeaglestone if he had been first)

MrBrown though has broken forum etiquette and offered to pay more for the frame that the asking price!!!

Because No1 is not a cock, No1 does not make a big deal about this...

Because MrBrown is a cock, MrBrown becomes unhappy about the whole secret higher bid thing that only he has got himself into.

Realising his name has been used on the thread, feeling like a cock and realising that people might realise what a shitty cock he is (and also (I believe) having no money to pay for the frame....

MrBrown pulls out on the pretext that he has been insulted buy seeing his name on the thread then pulls out of buying No1's Kona, not out of his chums mouth because we know Coventry Eagle swallows all MrBrown gives.

.......MrBrown is clearly the person at fault here, but he is not manning up and admitting this........

The reason Coventry Eagle is a hypocrite is this:

MrBrown and Coventry Eagle are mates who play polo together....

Coventry Eagle has never even mentioned MrBrown's name or there love affair let alone conceded that MrBrown may have been even a bit at fault.

Coventry Eagle is reporting people as "Bad Traders" when he has never bought anything from them, met them or had any dealings with them....

Coventry Eagle is pretending to be doing forum members a service here but he is not. He is on his own sad craven agenda to gain some sort of status as forum glitterati, elite, jedi type thing = Wanker

@Coventry Eagle

The vast majority of people who have read here what happen appear to agreed that I did nothing wrong except you......

I was happy to leave this as it was but here you are bitching again.....

You seem to now be basing your argument that I was the one in the wrong on the fact that I have repeatedly used the word "bid" instead of "dibs"

I would like to point out to you the second definition of the word "bid" in my dictionary:

Oxford English - Bid - "an offer to buy"

I would also like you to know that even if this was not the case the fact that I chose to use one or other of these terms does not spell out any bad intent....

You simply should not be able to name people as "Bad Traders" when you have not bought from them.

Seeing as you believe you are such a defender of forum ethics, what have you got to say about MrBrown?

Erm, this is not the place.

Sort your shit out off line and if there is a clear case of something going wrong then list it here, no more or less.

You should always give benefit of doubt, always try to patch it up before putting shit in here.

But more than that... don't hang up bad laundry except in the most elegant and graceful way you can, if you stink up the place then even if you are 100% in the right I'm going to get rid of the bad smell.

...

Are you trying to help salvage your reputation as a trader or something? If so, you're not doing a great job as you're coming across like a right cunt.

I have said what I have to say, take it / do with it what you like.

It's your rep. If you want to leave that there then so be it.

No.1 absorbed a massive amount of crap for doing very little wrong. He has every right to be angry at the treatment he received. That said No.1, since I imagine most people here will have no problem dealing with you in the future, you should probably just drop it. There's nothing more to be gained from going on about it.

Basically my point. I deal with anyone who shows grace and consideration, even if there have been isolated cases of bad transactions. Grace counts for a lot... the posts above show little.

Just my opinion as admin

Coventry Eagle has brought this back up, I was happy to drop it but...
I am more that happy to be judged on what I have said and done here.

If people don't want to deal with me that is there call but....
I can tell you that anyone who has bought from me here or elsewhere, or met me would be happy with there dealings, that is good enough for me.
