pinkbike buy and sell woes
So I've had a Norco 250 in the buy and sell and finally sold it...but not to this guy. Here's over a week worth of pinkbike messages back and forth. All this trouble over a $400 bike?


camm02 says:
Will you ship?
...I am interested in the bike


valleyrider says:
Greyhound COD, you pay the shipping costs.

Which bike, I have 2 for sale.


camm02 says:
Norco 250

valleyrider says:
The 250 is still available. There are a few guys asking about it right now. These parts are almost brand new, only a couple of rides:

bar
stem
headset
grips
pedals
tires
bottom bracket
chain

The fork seals are a bit leaky, other than that the bike is in excellent shape.

Where are you located? I am willing to ship Greyhound C.O.D. I have used it in the past and it works well.


camm02 says:
I live in Ontario,Canada (windsor)
could you give me a price range with shipping and the bike all together

Thanks...


camm02 says:
Also is it possible to fix the fork leaks
( is it a major, or minor leak)

valleyrider says:
Minor. Just need to replace the seals. Your local shop can do that for cheap. I'll check on the shipping cost for you and get back to you.

camm02 says:
OK thanks, the bike looks really nice and
hope to work something out


camm02 says:
Also could you let me know the frame and
the tire size... thanks

valleyrider says:
I think the frame is ML. The top tube is 22" and the seat tube is 13". The tires are 26x2.3 Kenda K-rads.

camm02 says:
OK thanks

camm02 says:
I am 5"10 so I was wondering if the bike would be too small

valleyrider says:
I am 5'10 as well. The seat tube length is pretty short, but that's the style of bike it is, for dirt jumping and skatepark. The length of the bike is perfect.

camm02 says:
I was also wondering how big the forks are?

camm02 says:
And could you give me an estimate of what the total
price is going to be and the shipping to Windsor,Ontario

valleyrider says:
The fork has 5" of travel. I'll find out the shipping cost ASAP.

camm02 says:
also how much does the bike weigh?
September 8, 2008 at 18:17
valleyrider says:
The bike weighs around 31 lbs.

camm02 says:
ok thanks

camm02 says:
When you get the total price get back to me
Thanks...


camm02 says:
An just one thing is the bike orange

valleyrider says:
Did you look at the pictures? Do you want to buy this bike or are you just wasting my time?

camm02 says:
Yah I looked at the bike I was just making sure you
and I were both talking about the right bike because I
knew you had 2 of them

Sorry if their was any confusion

valleyrider says:
I'll get the shipping price tomorrow.

camm02 says:
O.K

valleyrider says:
The shipping and C.O.D. charges would be $87.50.

camm02 says:
ok thats a good price
So total I would owe you 487.50

camm02 says:
what kind of payment will you accept

valleyrider says:
Greyhound C.O.D.

You pay Greyhound the 487.50 when you pick up the bike at the Greyhound station. According to their website, the station is at 3951 Walker, Windsor, Ontario. In a few weeks they send me a cheque for $400. I have used this service before (as a buyer) and it works great. I believe you will have to pay cash or debit (maybe credit card) at Greyhound.

camm02 says:
Ok thats sounds like a good plan
Ill inform you when I would like to start the shipping

Thanks...

valleyrider says:
I have other offers on the table. I need a definite answer from you.

camm02 says:
Yes i will take it
100% sure

camm02 says:
How long will it take to come in?

valleyrider says:
I sold the bike yesterday. Too bad you took so long.
26 mins ago

camm02 says:
wow thanks for nothing
Dumb ass
