I think i bought a pair of hubs from him, is he from hungary? Nothing out of the ordinary, said the hubs are in good condition (who doesn't on the loon-e-bay?) but I had to repack them anyway. But they where shiny, just as described and shown in the many pictures, shipping costs were tough, but that's just the distance...

Oh yeah I have something to share. I never purchased anything from him and I am glad I did not. I have been following a few of his auctions in the past year and a couple of weeks ago he had a nice columbus frame for sale. It was an obscure italian brand but it all I needed was a frame for singlespeed conversion so I placed a bid on it. Reserve not met. Another bid, then another bid. Reserve still not met and I was at $150 or something. I was approaching the limit of what I thought the frame was worth so instead of playing the bid ping pong I sent a message asking what the reserve his.

He replied in an approximate English "Reserve is not public OK? If you want it just place a bid OK?"

I said "well I was just asking... sorry I took your time for that"

He replied "listen loser why don't you play with your c*ck"

To which I replied that he had a strange way of doing business and after that he flooded my eBay inbox with insults for a whole day (something like a dozen messages).

I have since complained to eBay but it was useless. And I have added him to my list of blocked eBayers.

My 2c but I would rather jump off a bridge than to hear about this guy again...

who was the guy that replied to you? I think this is a few-people operation, since I get emails in ok english and then broken english.. John Binder?

I can't remember his name and these emails have quickly find their way to the trashcan but it was more broken English.

"Chiburger, Chiburger, Chiburger, Chiburger.............No Coke!,......... Pepsi!!"

Seen their auctions and they do have all kinds of nice, hard to find stuff (I wonder where these guys get so much of them. Could they be spares stock from disbanded eastern bloc olympic teams/programs??). I was also considering bidding on their items, but was always scared off from doing so because of the distance and possible communication problems.

Hope the conflict was more of a cultural/communications gap, but I do agree that the guy did not have to insult you for such a harmless question.

I got an obscure, very nice, frame/fork at a very reasonable price, shipping wasn't bad, packaging was great.

I was so happy that I DID play with myself, and they didn't even have to tell me to.

Of course it wasn't the "go play with your c*ck" part that insulted me. I just don't like being called "loser"

Oh and he also told me that zoos must be full of monkeys like myself LOL

Hahaha, any zoo reference makes me laugh.

That would have made me so mad I might have flung some poo at him.
