This is the best classified section of any forum I have been on. Lots of traffic and everyone I have dealt with has been phenomenal.

I don't get passive aggressive counter-threading.

It could come off as passive aggressive, but, if you feel strongly about the issue and don't want to try and take over the other thread than starting another one as a counter point seems valid I think.
I have had a great experience with the classifieds here.

Then you're avoiding all discussion on the topic. Its parallel bubbles talking to each reinforcing their particular views.

It's no different than some of the other "flip the thread on its head" posts, and no more/less in good fun than the "I rode 23c tires today and didn't die.." thread I started...or OldPotatoe's "I rode Campg Deltas today and didn't die.." riff on that. If the mods want to combine these two threads and throw a poll up at the top (Vote: Love or Hate - you decide!), so be it. |

I will send you a PM about my upcoming trip to portland for travel advice and possibly to rent a bike from you for a day or two. |

I grew up riding 26" xc rigid and front-squish mtbs in SW Washington on logging roads and home-built singletrack that my buds and I built trying to emulate where the Northshore folks were in those early days ('91-'96) - so of course I lusted after DeKerf, even before I had any idea what "custom" bikes were, or why I wanted them.

I am in the positive experience camp too with both buying and selling with forum members.
In the big picture, I think it is pretty cool to have the wealth of knowledge and feedback about bikes that the forum freely shares. It's nice to work on a build (and acquire parts) from an idea that was spawned from the collective opinion of the forum (yes - loving my Look 585 Ultra). |

Great transactions for me here too. Got some great deals on stuff and try to provide the same to other members. Love this place.

I don't get passive aggressive statements about not getting passive aggressive counter-threading.
Sorry, I couldn't help myself

But I will post what I did in the dislike thread. Please do not consider this trolling as it wasnt in theother thread: Selling stuff on the internet sucks when its is a pricey item. Ebay, Paceline and CL doesnt matter. Tons of look-ee-lou’s, cheap-skates and I-wanna-be-your-bros. Paceline classifieds were not as big as they are now. Before there were less potential buyers but better buyers. As the classifieds have grown there are more buyers but more headaches. My guess there are as many good buyers for highend stuff as they was before. So the quality of customer has dropped. Every buyer (buyer= someone who bought something) I dealt with has been great with the exception of maybe one. And I am perfectly happy with that record. Its just weeding through all the wanna-be’s thats annoying. My feeling is that the classifies have eaten PL a bit. There is a flea market attitude that is creeping into the vibe of the community. Thats was why I was sooo surprised to see that the idea of PL expanding the classifies to stuff not bike related. I felt to would eat PL even more.
