For Sale: Eddy Merckx Corsa Extra Team Telekom Columbus Max Nos

Sale fucked by complete ineptitude despite moderately sensible advice. Shame really.

pink makes me look jaundiced anyway-i revoke my offer.

TM calm down it's a fair price and I think negotiable, this is a ultimate frame and headset and BB.
Calm down guys don't be stupid and fall into vulgarity.

You wont sell it hear but it's a very good catch.
haaa ebay.... the game of money.... money is always the source of violence. Jim don't worry good night.
TM your are jealous ? Me to !

Fock bloody communitarianism !

sell for £600 here -> donate £200 to forum?

I don't think TM is the one that needs to calm down - anyone reading this thread can see that

Right or wrong, I know no one here, but being very rude, to me, means you're never right. Even if you are. Which, in this case, may or may be not.

Sounds about right.

OK The guy is a DEALER & not a very clever one at that; he’s not even mentioned that it’s a LOW PROFILE Frame (DOH). There are few DEALERS on here and they are not difficult to spot, they are all just out to make a quick buck. Thankfully this one has been caught out this time.
Whether you agree with TM or not as he so eloquently puts it & I quote

“You are grotty little lying cunt, aren't you”
“You're all front, and a dishonest lying prick.”
“I really don't know why he's allowed to hang around, ruthless, shameless profiteer.”

I will leave you all to make your own minds up. BUT I know where I stand on this I’m with TM’s last comment (say it how it is Dude)

What for ? Why does the forum need money? Charity for moderators?
For me a forum must be public free of advertisement and money interest.
The server hosting is reimbursed for a very long.

Everyone must calm down, no one is dead.
Cheers.

did you buy this for £200 a week ago?

I here the sound of BOLLOCKS hitting the floor!!

I don't get this sentence of yours but if you meant that 200 quid would reimburse the server hosting costs for a long time then you are very wrong. I am pretty sure this site is on a higher bandwith and not on any standard package you would get for chips.

Wow. Such bandwidth.Very megabips. Much internet.

^^^Then go quickly pay you a star if you are so over you.

I would if I could but I can't ATM. My lack of donation I contribute in time helping out other forumers. You could buy a star, but you could not buy rep, OP has a star but his rep?

Jim has rep now ; /

This forum does to some extent rely on the dealers (who usually donate to LFGSS themselves) providing the rare and special frames which give many people the impetus to check the classifieds regularly. How can this not be acknowledged as a positive contribution?

I get the making money vs community vibe debate but if not here surely it just goes to ebay, lfgss looses out on donations, new members and nice frames. It doesn't seem practical for the longevity of the forum to try to shame these people.

Most people charge what something's worth, relative to the forum. It's only when we can actually trace the profit that we get pissed.

Edit: I don't turn a profit on anything I sell, and I get both sides of the argument, but I feel one side hasn't been acknowledged to the extent it should've been.

My nerg has more power than your rep ;)

I genuinely don't think anyone will buy this on here now so what's the point..

Maybe I am the weird one, but I would happily buy something highly desirable for a fair price even if I knew that the owner had just paid 1p in some bizarre ebay mega-win.

Some might be out for a quick buck. Some are out to make a living. And some of them gain legendary status on the forum. Dutch guys, Hillarystone, Pistoffski etc etc are all dealers and are thanked not criticised.

JJOS got a bargain. Would you rather he gave people on here first option on it (something fucking nice at a fair price) or would you rather he just posted it somewhere else? Or do you really believe that people should just sell for what they paid however cheap or expensive the price they paid was?

removed from sale, please check ebay for new price. i got a bargain but in turn people here would have gotten a bargain. sadly there are too ruffled feathers here.

Good luck and good sale on ebay Jim and thank you for pointing it hear before for "us".

It's just a frame...

Great frame at a decent price, don't really see what the big deal is. I have dealt with jimjamosullivan before and it was a pleasure! GLWS.
