I live for the CABE
I think the selling practices of some people on this site really stink!!!!! ( 98% or people are great though ....... always that 2% that ruin it for others )
My new avatar is pretty self explanatory as to what I think of some of these people.
They should call themselves something like "crapcycles" .......... or .. we'renothonestcycles or ........ cyclery etc

I've always been straight up with buyers. If you post something for sale and a person responds first to that post, then they should be first in line to get it. ( I never sell first to the 2nd person down until there is an honest answer form that first buyer etc... ). But I understand some people like to sell to the people who they hug and pat on the back behind closed doors.
** This is an issue that needs to be addressed with the CABE admins: -> I believe that "ONCE" a seller decides to list an item in the "For Sale" forum, then the first to respond has first right to buy ( and not through a PM - I've tried that too and it doesn't work ). IT MUST BE A POST on the actual thread as this is the fairest for everyone. I think many sellers will let time drag on and then say that - "Oh so and so wanted it yesterday through a text" or my friend wanted it. Otherwise, if the the seller doesn't follow these rules - THEN THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE CABE cycling community. If you're not going to treat people with respect as a seller ( or even a buyer ) then you don't belong here ... period! These people have gotten away with this practice for too long. Like eBay .. when you put in your bid, then you have first right to buy it and he can't sell it to the second guy in line even if that person happens to be his friend ( well unless they remove it and sell it to their friend ).
Any thoughts here? .. I have seen this issue posted before and thought it was best to bring this up again.
