I only recently started building my bike with some thought and forum discussions of this group showed up in my Google search. I decided to join after reading some relevant discussions and the FS email chains gave me some confidence to buy directly from the members.
I've made only one purchase "attempt", which failed because after I made the payment the seller told me that it was not according to the terms and after a couple of messages to redo the transaction, stopped responding. This was a weird experience because I'd made a payment and still was accused of being a scammer. Anyway, I tried to be nice, to at least get a refund from the payment company - but got no response. Can't completely blame the seller, must have had bad experiences. I've made a couple of purchases from the bob group without any hassles and am confident future purchases will be positive here too :) Chintan On Monday, April 10, 2023 at 9:56:42 PM UTC+5:30 Patrick Moore wrote: > I'm surprised at this, having bought and sold many times on this list (and > even much more on the Boblist) with no problems I can remember except 2 or > 3 instances of excited people piping up ME!
