K-Forbes (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:01)

exactly

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:15)

Not in his advert.

pac-man93 (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:21)

marquis im not trying to cause a big argument or anything but your a mod yes, you are actually saying hes a scammer
when you have no proof all the user's here have said hes legit and does not scam so you are wrongly making false allegations against him which i thought mods are not ment to do, they are ment to get the story first?.

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:24)

And i have been from the start,i asked him to post a legitimate pic of the worksheet and/or receipt,i'm old school stuff can be shopped easily and have seen it many times when getting rid of scammers on this very site.

pac-man93 (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:28)

yeah that is true that anything can be edited to look legit but not many people know how to edit like that i can point out many adds that look like scammers i see a few today actually that look like scammers but it is down to the user them self to realise n get all the proof from the seller them self instead of having mods waist there time of getting people to upload the service sheets! anyone can download that from this site and edit that and use it on another part n scam

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:36)

Yet people blame the mods when the deal goes tits up like it was my fault for not banning them in the first place.

pac-man93 (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:39)

yeah but mods are there to help but they cant always help people can they?

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:43)

If i never slept i could.

pac-man93 (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:43)

how many users are on pink bike?

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:45)

couple of million at any one time i think,not all of them post in threads or use the buysell though.

pac-man93 (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:47)

you must have one massive server if you think you can help all of the users lol

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:49)

Radek has all of that stuff covered.

pac-man93 (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:50)

see would be good if the server was programmed to do all that its self

this ain't gonna cut it.

K-Forbes (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:36)

You been sacractic ?

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:38)

When scamming is in play i kid no one,so you either ask them real nice and polite like to send them a copy or remove the tftuned part again.

Who in their right mind gets a fork tftuned and then strips it ? stop taking me for an idiot.

K-Forbes (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:40)

i bought the forks with a leaking seal took it apart put it back together then the damper was sticking as the bladder was bust . so i sent it into tf . the worksheet backs me up mate

demo8jack (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:40)

marquis this isnt scam as they sent me one when i had my forks done...

carrot-cruncher (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:40)

That looks legit though?

What about a receipt ?

K-Forbes (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:41)

i'll ring tomorow to get a reciept if he is going to carry on .

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:43)

I have had 2 forks and a shock form tftuned and i know the score so stop taking me for a mug.

K-Forbes (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:45)

i'm not . I seriously am not lying .

for god sake let it go please marquis it's getting boring

demo8jack (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:46)

hahaha, no getting past marquis with this

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:48)

I'm a mod it's my job to stop scamming,adding this info without a receipt or the work sheet is scamming as your trying to tell people that the fork was done by a pro,who the feck pays tftuned to tune a fork and then strips it down ? which if you have done negates all of the work done by tftuned as your not a pro mechanic.

pac-man93 (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:48)

hey marquis k-forbes is a real nice guy and dont scam hes legit

uttanutta12 (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:48)

oh marq....you never fail to surprise me

jamiemaclean94 (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:50)

As much of a bellend as forbes is... He is right. His service history is legit.

Kona-rob (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:50)

i remember him trying to fix them when he first got them and couldnt so he sent them off to tf tuned

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:51)

So post the worksheet or the receipt that you get with the fork,the fork was tftuned when he bought it.

uttanutta12 (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:52)

This is the worksheet?

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:54)

So why strip it after he had it tftuned ? and this is the net stuff can be shopped,and why am i talking to you ? it's not even your fork.

highvoltagefr (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:55)

he didnt scam me when i bought that hope stem from him..

uttanutta12 (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:56)

He didn't? he TF'd it after he stripped it...
And i don't know, thought i'd pop in my 2 cents

carrot-cruncher (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:56)

Mark, Forbey isn't smart enough to scam.
And anyway so what if forbes took his forks apart. Pretty sure everyone who cares about their forks do.. To service them lol

K-Forbes (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:57)

i remeber posting it on D.T.D Ant and i think jamie gave me advise on what to do

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 10:58)

So when he tried selling the patriot frame did he tell you that he left out the part where he had it re welded ?

K-Forbes (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:00)

i put it had been strenghtend and repaired did i not

carrot-cruncher (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:00)

Wouldn't that make the frame stronger by rewelding it?

highvoltagefr (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:02)

it does say in the description that it had been welded on a few different pictures..

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:06)

Forbes you left out the info where it was welded until i asked you to redo the add and that it had been welded,this is between a mod and a user the rest of you stay out of it.

eastofski (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:08)

I'm fairly sure there were actually close up pictures of the welds on his profile at the time... Forbes is daft, but he isn't a scammer

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:10)

If you use the buy and sell you have to add all relevant info,he left out where it had been welded regardless if the info was in his pics the info has to be put into the advert.

carrot-cruncher (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:12)

To be fair I bet you haven't asked this person for so much proof of his forks being tftuned http://www.pinkbike.com/buysell/981155/

And yes there are close up photos of the new weld, Buyers should do their investigation aswell, and it took less than 30seconds to find photos of the frame. Salute

edit- just read what you said above. which i agree on. Should just be a little message to him as opposed to this much confrontation. Smile

Joebohobo (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:12)

This is quite entertaining reading all of this Big Grin

I really don't get why you think its a scam when loads of people are backing him up and stuff :/

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:13)

Info has to be added to the add at the time you post it up,like i said this is between a mod and a user so enough already.

Joebohobo (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:15)

Does it? anyways, i shall leave it now as you say its just between a you and him, byee Wink

demo8jack (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:17)

changing the subject from being legit proof to being welded, marquis = parred

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 13, 2012 at 11:22)

Legit proof backs up the seller and gives the buyer confidence,giving proof is easier as there is no come back and the buyer bought on what he saw in the add.

How do you know i'm not trying to help forbes by asking him to post proof ? ah that would the people thinking i'm just a hater even though i see this kinda shit every day in the scammers thread.

TheShad (Feb 13, 2012 at 12:18)

Got to side with Marquis on this one, but no disrespect to anyone else or accusing them of scamming etc. Put all this the other way round and imagine YOU were the buyer, wouldn't you want the info to be legit? I'm not saying it's not, but you'd want proof, right? And as for the seller, Marquis is making sure that he's done everything he can to be honest about what he's selling, therefore NOT being labelled a scammer and keeping up a good rep. It's very easy to criticise when things like this are done, but at the end of the day if it was me who was buying something I'd be glad of the support and backup of the mods. Sometimes the best way to look at it is; if the buyer wanted to take me to court over this item, would they have the grounds? I think we all want the answer to be no, because everything was clear, concise and legit.

Joebohobo (Feb 13, 2012 at 14:08)

Fair point, i get where marquis is coming from Big Grin

kev-roberts (Feb 14, 2012 at 4:49)

I can see the point from both sides here, but he has posted an email from TF and a worksheet, surely that's enough proof ?!

pbuser102331 Plus (Feb 14, 2012 at 4:58)

This is all i needed http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/7710896/
