Agree..won a DA freewheel...buyer backed out cuz it went so low(NOS 13-24/7s)...the next week, same freewheel on the 'bay...same pics. Started a dispute...never went anywhere.

So you won't bid on an item if the seller is not an accomplished writer and appears uneducated?

If that were true, I wouldn't believe many on this forum and there posts.

There is an ebay seller from italy called lollocolnago, he does that all the time, is ridiculous. they dont use the reserve price and when somebody wins the item and he doesnt like the price the bike of frame is listed again and again and again.

How about we all submit offers for $100 less than what the OP's original "winning" bid was? Maybe the seller will come back to the OP with a better response.

Assuming the OP still wants to do business with this guy ...

Nah lol.. I think the warning about fish in the frame is probably spot on. I picked up a Land Shark instead that was facilitated by a forumite. It wasn't a winning bid, I had the highest bid and he pulled it the day before it ended after contacting me asking for more money.
