I listed a Transistion Gran Mal frame(mint), Marz 66, X7 shifters, bars, Race Face Diablous cranks, some dark cycles arachnid pedals and a transition stem for like 700. Guy offered 450 and wanted me to pay shipping and payal fees. Gave a nice no thanks.

I place firm and put pretty bold statements in all my buy/sell to deter that kind of offer.

My Commencal Furious build. Wasn't great and was pretty haggered but still worth over £1000. A guy said trade for a quad with a broken frame and haggered engine and cash his wayand left a number to call him on. It was one of those shitty chineese 50cc mini quads.

You can guess what happened!

Probably my best one. Some kid wants to trade his Saracen...

... for my Banshee Rampant frame, RS Revelation, Hope/EX721 wheelset, Atlas cranks, Crossmark tyres, Holzfeller stem/Sunline bars, Crank Bros headset ans seat post.

I laughed in his face.

I love it as well when you get people who give you bad offers, you then politely say no and they get mad and write abuse at you.

Ah man, that's another annoying thing. When someone ask you to sell them X even though it's not for sale.

I got offered 'anything in my buy/sell' and the best thing was a 160mm disk rotor .... as a swap for my old Kona Stab frame and shock

so I just let him have it for free and he still hasn't picked it up (3 years later), weird
