what the f*ck is this? i'm sorry for swearing, but honestly? This kid's trying to get me banned because I was saying that a guy who scooters is a good biker. Sick man.
Unless he has something else to say I wouldn't pay any mind to it.

He doesn't have anything to say. He's trying to get me banned for no logical reason.

unsure if this is a scam but, its 2 different profiles, selling 2 different Iron Horse Sunday Frames when they are clearly in the same garden/bike stand?


White and green "Monster energy" Sunday
Black and Silver "World Cup" Sunday

just seems a little bit fishy and I don't get why someone would need to do that?

also, the descriptions seem very similar and one account is a lot newer than the other!

just a heads up but maybe someone (Mod) should check it out.

Could be friends or partners. But good call anyway. Maybe get a mod to check it out.

I bought goggles from this kid, over a month ago.
They never came and he claimed each time they were returned to the post office becuase I gave him an invalid address.
I finally decided I wanted a refund after being f*cked around for over a month, which he agreed to... But I once again got nothing from him.
He never posted a photo with the postage proof either and offered me some free pedals to make up for it, which I also never got, no surprise really.

He then claimed he'd come directly to my house and give me the money, this Friday just gone.
That never happened, so I am still waiting to be refunded.

This kid goes out of his way to make sure I'm not getting the gear, or my money back.
I say he is scamming me, anyone else agree?

Yeah sounds like it, contact paypal if its not to late to put a claim in.

Did you pay by goods? (If you paid by PP) I'd hurry up with a refund if you did, as you only get 45days to make a claim.

I'll get onto it.

I mean I have his address, so I could just go up there and break his knee cap or something?

Not the best idea. I'd just tell his parents or something, they'll probably be unimpressed with him, and give you your money back.

I am joking about that.
But it'd maybe teach him a lesson.
Hate getting screwed around, but when you're getting screwed around and they have your money, it is even worse.

If it was something of bigger value the kneecap idea would totally be acceptable.

A mod will most likely sort it out, but they can only threaten to ban him and label him a scammer.
I'd go to his house and do what I said. His parents will give you the money if they're genuine people.

Can't find any stolen images of the Intense, but I did of the 40's which belong to a man in the U.S, who has sold them.
