Herbertlemon102 Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) I think the idea of age restriction is stupid. It sounds like you're basing it off age simply because of one dispute- suggestions about reputation and feedback are much more logical. There's scammers and thieves at all ages.

bing Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 theres no one way this can be sorted out I don't think, not without a major overhaul of the rules in the for sale section. I do agree with mandatory photos, and the time and date in the picture along with the username. We are a seriously small minority sport in the UK, and we should be able to trade with other without getting scammed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably has to do with how much the bikes we use are worth- there's a lot of money involved, and that brings in scammers like insects to a lightbulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_travis Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 The problem is that I know plenty of 40 year old dickheads as well as 15 year old dickheads. Age does not really factor. I AM NOT 40 MOTHER TRUCKER 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skoze Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I bought and sold plenty on here when I was the other side of 18 - fully agree that not all under x age should be penalised for a few idiots. Do it the old fashioned way; get an address and landline number (and call it!) before you send any money, then you've got some useful deets should it go tits up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Leigh Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 (edited) I've brought and arranged to sell stuff in person and through PayPal through the forum ( also possibly selling a rotor as we speak ) and I'm 16. I'm not prepared to mug someone off or send them a faulty product (unless mentioned in the description that the product is or could be damaged etc). So I think you've just gotta look around and hope all goes well if I'm honest. Even on ebay n stuff, there's always the occasional d**khead regardless of age. The thing that annoys me most is when people say "got this for sale" and don't put any info, pics, or an asking price up. THAT is what shows laziness and the instant gut response I get is "yep, I can't trust that guy if they cant be bothered to give me the basics". Maybe a full description that can NOT be edited should be the rule to ensure nothing goes wrong? Or maybe a list of requirements such as contact details and a detailed description should be a rule too? Or at least lower the likely hood of that. But at the end of the day its simply people being lazy and not caring. Edited May 14, 2015 by JJ Leigh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrialsIsHard Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 The general consensus of this thread was that you can't discriminate because of age, and that you can spot a poor advert when you read through it. You're 6 months too late! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
