pain in the shocks !
we always find problems buying and selling bike parts, no matter how good it is or how well you think you've planned it it always comes back and bites you!well recently i took delivery of some 2011 fox 36RC2 180 mm float forks and after a very short time of having them ive decided my build is more suited to a 200 mm fork . so an add was placed on the buy-sell in our beloved pink bike to either sell them for much less than i payed for them or a swap to something more suited for me....... a few hours passed before i got some offers . a couple of swaps some rock shox boxxers old and new , the odd marzocchi fork and even a Intense SS frame !!
as time has ticked on ive been trying to find potential swap for something i want i.e 2011 fox 40's or rock shox boxxer 2010 world cups e.t.c with not much luck !
and then comes along the people who offer you money for them and you arrange a place to go meet or finalize payment procedures and then when it comes to the actual handover they go all quite and seem to disappear off of the face of the earth !!
all is just a pain in the ass !
who else has similar stories of selling woes and problems ?

Same dude you have no idea all the tricks people use to 'get out of it' and stuff. all a seller would want is a simple " no thanks i do not wish to purchase anymore" or something or other. But no. Anyways thats a quality write up mate, carry on
