Buyer beware!

Don't know if he ever sells on this newsgroup, but since many of the
folks who trade here also trade on Ebay, I thought I'd pass this
along.

I spotted a Dean frame for sale (
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3663063702 ) and
decided to ask the seller if he was the original owner.

His response: "YES, I am the original owner. The frame was built for
me last year. It is 1 of 10 DEAN built for our team."

Funny thing, in his 'ratings' you can see where the guy who sold it to
him posted a review.

Funnier still, I sold it to the guy who sold it to him. It just so
happens that the seller is right, it was 1 of 10 built for a sponsored
team last year. But, it was built for me, not him.

Beware of 'bicyclestreet' on Ebay. His email:


I'm not sure I'd trust much of what he had to say in a description of
any item he's selling.

No offense, but i think it is kind of unfare to post a "buyer beware" flag
on this guy when he has 100% positive feedback with 25 transactions.

Why? The seller is obviously lying about the origin of the frame. This
isn't second hand information either. If the seller is willing to lie about
this, he might lie about other things too.

Oh, so because 25 people before me were satisfied, that means that he
gets a pass on deliberately trying to mislead me?

FYI, I emailed the seller prior to posting my message here. His
response? 'You got me!'

I am being more than fair.
