That does suck. I hate it happened to you. Careful warning to not purchase from anyone that is new or only has 14 posts! I'm just thankful it was not something big like a bike!

I, too, have had several good experiences, both buying & selling. I think looking to see how long they've been around, and how active, might be a good idea, though.

Remember, though, you couldn't RIDE it down, so you would have to carry it. Or so I was told... Originally Posted by sandra

Maybe I can get someone to haul it down for me. Lots of gravel roads. If I can borrow a computer, I'll email you and let you know.

Make sure you ONLY email. No going to any other sites or I will lock the computer in the trunk and disable any latches.
I've had about $5 worth of fun with this. Only $30 more to go!Claudia

The mixte should be fine downhill, uphill could be a problem though. Originally Posted by uforgot

I guess I should explain. She told me she couldn't get to the post office because she didn't have a car. I replied that she was on a biking board, couldn't she ride a bike? Well, no, she lived on a mountain with gravel roads, and actually Sandra seems to remember all of the excuses better than I do. Originally Posted by Trek420

They were all insane.
So, sure, go kick some shins!Claudia

She couldn't email about the purchase because her computer was in a locked trunk that could not be unlocked. Someone let her use a computer, but she had strict orders to ONLY check her email.
More flimsy excuses that I could have ever dreamed up except that when it was reported to paypal she seemed to have immediate computer access.
I just hate it for Claudia.

Oh right, because we all know that bikes can't go on gravel roads so we'll believe that. Originally Posted by uforgot

The computer is locked in the car. Hmmmmmmm
There are no roads yet there is internet access .... sometimes.
Hmmm, ya know I think I dated her once. 
Knott? Get your Doc Martens on That way Knott can be the tall imposing redhead and then you gets to worry about the 5'.05" (just found out I shrunk) Nidan. Though I did take a vow to use my powers for good not evil. So .... I hope you get the money back.
Are we up to $5.50 worth of fun yet?Last edited by Trek420; 12-08-2007 at 06:32 PM.
