Another day, another low-post count PITA
There's like a 99.5% chance of a transaction sucking [<50] posts...

I know this, yet I repeat my mistakes because of teh gOoD dEaLs

I punch in the numbers.

I enter the email.

I select purchase protection.

I know it's still going to suck.

And yet I click.

Why am I like this.

sigh

edit: perhaps I should have been more generous with my threshold lol

I've bought and sold a bunch of stuff on this forum and I've only had one bad experience. (You know who you are, who sold me the crankset with the busted bearings!) Sorry to hear you've been jerked around.

I came here and bought a frame from a member - literally discovered the forum thanks to my bike.

That was 9 years ago now, I still ride the frame and I still post here.

So maybe it won’t be terrible
