Is there a "hustler list" here of people who just flip bikes?


just wondering if anyone can provide a list of folks here who just buy beat up bikes for cheap, beat on them for a while, then pump them and dump them. i try to avoid these types and perfer to buy the bike from an actual owner who us not trying to flip a bike he does not know the history of for a profit. these guys also tend to lie about the bike a bit more than an actual owner. i have nothing against these guys, everyones gotta make a living and i know pimpin aint eazy.

if you dont want a pile of crap then buy brand new, this is a message board for anything for sale, if you knew what to look for then you could spot a junker.

i am pretty good at spotting junk, i do not have any emotion and i have walked from a few decent bikes just because the seller seemed to be hiding somethiing or gave an odd answer. the thing that worrys me is the "professionl sellers", if the original owner lied to these guys about the bike, then they juat pass the info on to me it is hard to read them since they are not actualy lieing. the other thing is that if they buy a bike that is all messed up, they would lose mmoney by fixing it, so they just pass the problem along. if someone says the crank is new its hard to check, if they say its original you may only find out its an aftermarket piece of crap after it fails.     i just perfer to buy from someone who knows the bike, has lived with the bike and has cared about the bike, and wanted a list of folks i could avoid and not waste their time or mine.

its easy to look at a bike and tell how its been cared for, theres no science to it , if your that paranoid  you shouldnt even be buying used period

 

anyone selling something can lie...its more on the persons character  than if its there personal bike, i never trust a distrusting person,  there always the ones  who have screwed someone  and  are trying to dodge karma

 

get real

 more than likely your paranoia forced you away from some decent bikes or some good deals

if you want a brand new crank buy a brand new bike lol

Thanks for the replys, although not really helpfull it is the thought that counts. I will pass on the dealership because I perfer to allow someone else the joy of takeing the initial depreciation hit.

I have recieved some feedback through Private Message that gave me the info I was looking for. Thank you thatguy for your honesty you were mentioned in the info I got.

I appologize to anyone who got offended and were angered, please don't feelbad.
