Bad traders

No1, just leave it, and think about just how many people actually care about that fuss.

I care deeply about this Ed... and I think the fact that you dont care reflects very poorly on how much this place really means to you. I think it is you, Ed, who needs to have a long hard look at yourself.

I do not care about this

Don't get me wrong Ed I am not taking this personally.
I'm just not the kind of person to not say if I think some one is being a dick.

^I think some people are interested to read about this sorry affair^

Neither am I...

You are being a bit of a dick.

Read my mind Balki...

good example of a bad trader...

I hope the above was just inexperience. I bought a headset from dirtjumper, and transaction went perfectly.

It seems like 'Hilary is great' is the opinion of everybody who didn't have a problem. However if you look at the Bad traders thread you can see this very question pop up every once in a while. I have found that dealing with Mr Stone has been one of the most frustrating experiences of my life. The only email he ever answered swiftly to was the one were I asked him for his paypal details. After that communication has been a nightmare.

So yeah, Hilary is great, if you can pick up your stuff yourself. If not, you'll have to hope for the best, as he doesn't give a shit about you as soon as you've paid him.

Wow if failing to receive some bikes parts through the post is one of the most fustrating experiences of your life you should be thinking yourself lucky.

Bronto bought a Gipiemme track chainset - I posted it a bit later than I had intended and then it did not arrive - he's asked for a Gipiemme track or a Campag track as a replacement - I do not have one of either type (they are not especially common) but the value of a Campag track would in any case be about three times what he paid for the Gipiemme...

Hilary

fwiw i don't think hilary (or the tag beolw) should be in this section, he provides an excellent value service, has a fair amount invested in stock, and ships all over the place, good trader NOT bad trader!

^^ditto

++1 to the above posts.
That tag should be removed, poor show.

Looks like it's gone.

Well that's not exactly a fair description of what happened. You sent it ten days late, I have written 18 PM's you have responded incompletely to 6 of them, and never (except when it was about you getting money) before I have reminded you. You did nothing to try to find the chainset before I repeatedly asked you to, etc. etc.

Worst part is the communication which has been really really bad. Regarding the Gipiemme or campa request I would of course have paid whatever extra it was worth, the only thing I said was that I would not accept some Andel chainset as it's going on a vintage track bike with Gipemme and campy parts.

After having problems I looked up this thread where you can see almost the exact same complaints pop up every two months or so. So yeah, you sell some nice parts, but maybe you should think about some of the feedback you been getting and work on your communication.

All that said, the good news is that I picked up the chainset in the post today, no explanation where it has been for four months, address was correct etc. I'm going to check it out as soon as I get home (still at work) but if all is correct then this is over and done with as far as I'm concerned.

But seriously, dude, you need to communicate better. That is all.

Parcel has arrived. Look at stamp to see when it was post dated. This should tell you what you need.

Posted 10days late? Seriously, you don't allow for a lot do you. If we were talking about someone who makes a living from seeing stuff then yes it would be unacceptable. These are real people with other things to do.

i feel i am being unfairly treated as a bad trader purely because of a bad choice of name!

People will allow for a lot. Just let them know.
I understand when Hillary comes from, as I also have bad days and shitload stuff to do involving my family (but I don't try and make living from selling bike parts). I'm a bad buyer sometimes, but when I sell something, I try to stay on top of things - especially when people pay immediately after making dibs.

If they pay straight away, it means that they expect the same in return. Simples.

Payed asap before x-mas. Still no chainring.

Normally we buy things because we need them.
