Back to (I lost all the other messages in the thread, excuse me)
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....tem=7109550172 I asked: "Hi, do you know if I can use this item on my road bike? It's an Avanti Giro with other 105 components. It has 9 cogs on the back cassette thingy and 2 on the front." And I got this reply: "probably not, this came off a huffy gila mountain bike or was a replacement for a huffy gila mountainbike. it gets bolted to the frame with a hex nut, and it goes to a 21 speed bike(7 cogs on back wheel to 3 on the cranks. thanks for asking and happy bidding. i hope this helped you out" He/she has chosen not to display this question/answer on the listing page. My next question has been: "The shimano website says that the new dura-ace rear derailleur is 10 speed, and I know that the previous one was 9 speed, so how old is this "near new" 7 speed derailleur?" And I am eagerly awaiting an answer. Do you think this one will end up on the site? T |

I got that answer I wanted but again it's not listed: "it could be a 9 speed but i'm saying it is a 7 speed because it was set on a 21 speed mtb(huffygila)it used to have a durace sticker on there but with with no name cogs, then a month ago i change the cogs with brand new shimano ones. i hope this helps out and happy bidding."

And I am eagerly awaiting an answer. Do you think this one will end up on the site? Nope. Someone's either going to get a bargain because the seller is genuine and just doesn't know what they have and are bad liars at the same time (unlikely), or someone's going to get shafted. I bet its some 12 year old kid too. Go to their feedback page, and see the feedback they've left for others - they've bought about 10 things on ebay, and cancelled their order every time, then left positive feedback for the seller saying they were good cause they let them cancel their order! They're costing sellers in lots of places lots of listing, selling and re-listing fees....Lucky not to have a -12 rating, I don't know why ebay doesn't catch up with these types of pricks earlier! |

Ask them what's written on the back! Then we can see if they've actually got one or just nicked a photo from someone else's page =) Hehe. (I can't I've already told them they're a rip-off merchant) |

(I can't I've already told them they're a rip-off merchant) I asked what sort of shifters that the derailleur used/ "shimano grip shift type. i hope thishelps out. happy bidding" Interesting combo.

He/she has chosen not to display this question/answer on the listin page. I buy and sell a lot on Ebay and often don't post answers to question with the listing. Several reasons for this 1/ Ebay emails you the question, you simply hit reply and its done. T put it on Ebay requires lots more button clicking and takes time.. 2/ Quite often it creates lots of other uninformed questions whic then all have to be answreed as well If I think the answer will help me sell something, I'll post th answer if I haver time otherwise not Doesn't mean the seller is a con, check out his feedback and contac other people hes sold too for their experience of him -- malcomm |

Well, in this case, right after the end of the auction (at about the same time his feedback had fallen to minus-three after winning a dozen items and not paying for any goods), it looks ebay caught up with them and their account's been wiped. So there you go, dodgy!ha ha Gemm |
