For the most part, the folks at the Bike Forums have treated me fairly. I set my prices, when selling, and allow for some haggling, same as any other venue, be it Ebay or in person.

I have sent people an item, or two, only to not hear from them again. They go on my "to heck with you" list and will not enjoy the opportunity to access the contents of The Old Shed again. But the one that bugs me most...

Is the guy who complains, in public, about not getting something I sent to him for free, suggesting the he did not receive it. Why not have the decency to contact me, in person, and let me know that the item did not arrive. I sent a second one but still have not had so much as a thank-you or even the item arrived, status report.

Anyway, most of us are pretty good to one another. The opportunists will present themselves here, just as they do everywhere else. I just try to avoid them.
