There is a guy who i assume is pretty young advertising a haro 8.1 frame and fork deal in the frame/fork forum.
I've tried to purchase this frame and asked the seller (DH Agression) too many questions to list. He avoids answers and has now decided he doesnt want to send the bike to me after claiming he would for over 2 weeks now as it was aparantly an ugent sale.
Just thought i would let you know that guys like this should have access to the forum if they are going to mess other users around. Not sure if there is anything you can do about this to prevent it in the future, but i thought i would let you guys know.
thanks for your time!
perhaps stricter trading group access requirements could be put in place?

To those concerned - the Trading Area is not a toy. It involves legality and personal integrity.
If you want to dribble, do it in Off Topic Discussion (or on Pinkbike :P ).
I think the vast majority of Farkin users are respectful of this, whether they have Trading Area Access or not.
Possible suggestion - sellers with a bad trading history should be made to provide a link in their signature to details of the bad trade?
Might be harsh, but it's a good incentive to stay true to your word...
Or even a trader rating under the username?

sounds like a great plan the ebay style selling system.

Something like that sounds good, or a trade rating in their signature that they can't remove.
It will be hard for the mods go through and listen to both sides of the story, because what happens to people talking on msn, icq, etc.
But I agree, kids like DHaggression, plus all those other dickheads who dribble shit should be banned from the trading access group.
AND, people who advertise something, and then don't even sell the friggin thing. This is mainly because, once again, they are kids and 'mummy and daddy' won't let them sell it.
This has happened to me before, and I'm sure it's happened to other people.
I suppose that's what should be expected from a forum who's main age group is under 18.

anfon is a teenager.
:roll: silly, silly people. Firstly if you have a GENERAL problem with the site by all means post here. However, if it's a problem with a specific member you contact a forum moderator or the site Administrators.
And secondly, I don't care what the excuse is there will be NO old fart jokes while I'm around. :evil:
