Proof, conversions do make money
 

I did it, sold one of my bikes. Sure will miss it.

Wow, good job man.

And proof that if you get a bike for free, it's really easy to sell for a large profit!

it was crazy that it went for so high.

Although you didn't "do anything" technically, I would feel bad for the buyer.

If he is happy im glad, the bike is great and very very good condition. so im glad he found what he wanted.

definitely a sketchy noob description....

I used the description to the best of my knowledge

better than mint condition, eh?

oh, maybe you meant Mint Condition the band

yeah dude I'm not going to be polite about it... that was a huge dick move describing the bike like that. you don't even know if the flipchops are njs? and are you sure that was really japanese made? doubt it. and nothing can be "better than Mint (sic)," it's either mint or in a worse condition.

all in all it's a generic bike boom conversion with slightly nicer lugwork and some possibly-decent, esoteric cranks.

in the general sense (not pointed at you): if you have any sense of morality, relist that with a less misleading description with more hard facts and less embellishment. the ruthless capitalist in you would never think of morals, though.

not real deep vs on the bike. and you're not even including the carbon seatpost?

someone definitely didn't know what they were buying.

You guys don't know what you're talking about.

be like mookie: do the right thing and give him his money back

Wait until he posts here.

dude will want a refund anyway once his box of BS comes

i feel sorry for your grandpa.

He liked the bike, he bid, simple as that.

I'm not sure how rare that frame is, but that looks like a bad deal for him.

How hard is it to go buy a metric tape measure from a dollar store or x-mart?

ouch.. it was gonna cost $500 to ship to canada?

:roflmao2:

Yeah, I mentioned this in the eBay thread already. You lied about pretty much everything and suckered some newb. Your grand-pap would be proud, I am sure. Oh well, I believe in karma ;)

LOL, I just noticed your description of the pedals: "The pedals are MKS track pedals with MKS stainless cages and leather straps". Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

I'm going to sound stupid asking, but wha da hell: what does njs mean, i see this everywhere?
I'm not the buyer, by the way.

just for the record, bdfresh, although the buyer is ultimately at fault for spending too much, you are a total scumbag for your inaccurate and deceptive listing and a ****ing ******bag for coming here to brag about it.

Welp, it is a public forum....and anyone with an eBay account can message another eBay member....


And yeah, the guy is a douch3-bag; he received a lot of help here before he built up his awesome NJS-Keirin-grandpappy machine and he goes out and burns a newb. This is why we can't have nice things.
