Egg Fried Rice Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) Bike frames in ASIA are around £60-£80 and most parts made by deng and zhi (if you have noticed, the names are chinese and are made in china, these are makes such as Echo, Zoo, Adamant, Czar, GU Zhi and Aorta too) are 70% cheaper than they are in china to england. So yeah, the prices are true, it just depends if you would trust someone 6000 miles away to send a frame to you from there.JK Edited June 27, 2007 by J-KAY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Beck Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 correct me if im wrong, but because the site/shop is in another contanent, will the buyer have to pay import taxes on top of the original price and the shipping costs? Or can the import taxes be avoided if the sale is 'private'?The prices are crazy good if the website is legitimate and would be worth buying from there directly.lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex-Mitchinson Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 (edited) £140Haha he told me it would be £130!!A lot of this already been discussed in trials chat....He doesn't accept payment through paypal, apparently "Chinese users cannot get the money out of paypal and into another account, that is a load of sh*t."He wants payment through western union. It says on the western union website something like..... "western union does not take any responsibility for money lost due to scams," so therefore there is no way to get your money back. Paypal offer insurance up to something like 45 days, thats probably why he doesn't want to use it!If some rich kid wants to go a buy a frame from him, just to test if he's genuine or not, that would be great In the meantime, I cant really see anyone wanting to be the first to buy from him, so I am going to stay well away.Stick to tarty and select bikes!EDIT: found the link "rudoxolty" gave to show how bad western union security is....https://www.westernunion.co.uk/WUCOMWEB/sta...ame=faqSecurityLook at what it says in points 5 and 6.

Joe Sheehan! Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I think loads of people should chip in a fiver each for a frame, and then IF it comes sell it on ebay for what we paid and get our fivers back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudirudirudirudirudi Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 yer there was a fat topic about this that i made earlier. i spoke to him and he is looking into paypal.He also said that if i wanted i could pay half first and then half after. thats like £75 . so i think id risk it when i have the money. someone talk too him about it.

Lets say he does do this and within 2 weeks another 10 people have given him the £130 for a frame, and then he just dissapears, with £1300. Or he could even delay it by telling people he will post like next week and then it turns out to be 2 weeks, but within that time a few more people have placed orders, so he could end up with £2000 theoretically.I would love to have bargain prices for all the deng stuff but am very paranoid about getting conned......
