Douche Listing of the Day - Post them here.

Why oh why do people list forks all the time without axle? Usually they have them. Sometimes they don’t. What are people doing with these axles they don’t include with the fork?

Fucking the thread or loosing the "handle/lever".

Sounds like the douche on Gumtree here who advertises frames for sale without hangers, then has the hangers advertised separately at near LBS prices.

But 9/10 times there’s an axle. They just just don’t show it.
The 1/10 were probably ‘lost when removed for fork photos’

i thought i had lost a thru axle couple wks ago, i thought no biggie, just pick one up— didn’t realise some fox ones are 100+, RS genuine isn’t much better, ordered a generic one off sliexpress..couple days ago have a brainstorm, wife had found axle in back,of car (i always keep one in back of car for just in cases) she had in it in with the tyre lever, jack tools

They came out in 2012, so an 8 yr old bike! I sold my similar spec (full XTR, chris king, thompson etc.) SB66c in 2016 for $3k which was a fair price for an at the time 4yr old bike. This blokes dreamin. It is also worth noting that that frame could never accept a stealth dropper, so he has done some drilling into the frame by the looks of it...

RE dropper cable. It’s external. Hidden from view. I remember seeing on FB.

Cant remember the exact costs, but was circa $9k for the XTR build. Back when the aussie dollar was strong!

 

[pink poodle]

One of my mates had one with a rather bling build. It cost exactly lots-a-dollars.

Once the warranty is lost on big dollar frames, I think they're worth bugger all of the original price to be honest, but that is just my opinion.

Any sale is only worth what the seller and buyer agree to - whilst I see your point and for me any loss of any warranty severely impacts my value I place on something - most buyers would be looking at what it costs to get the bike they can’t really afford - hence why they retain some value - unless you can come up with 10k your not getting that yeti anytime soon

& clearly NOT the opinion of said (specz’d/yeti) owners

Of course, I agree, anything is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it in the end.

 

[oliosky]

Fkn hell. Anyone buying any second hand out of warranty yetis (and without decent lines of communication with the original owner) has got to have rocks in their head. Let alone an 8 year old one.

I think I need to rethink how I try to sell a bike in the future. I'm just an amateur...

You were watching the wrong page! It went bananas over at another he posted it on before it got deleted. I almost fell off my chair I was laughing so hard.
