I always found his user name very misleading!

CYNT would be better :daumenhoch:

I need one and also spotted this a few weeks back. Be fooked if I'm being taken the p*ss out of on postage. I also notice on his site that there are 2 sets of prices on most things. You click on the item at say £18, then it amazingly jumps a few quid and postage on top when you reach the checkout page. :2gunsfiring_v1:

I have just sent him this on the bay :daumenhoch:
I'm sorry but, every time you post something on ebay I have to have a good laugh with my mates.
You seem to live on a different planet to the rest of us. How you justify £7.99 postage on something that only costs £1.79 to post recorded delivery is beyond me.
GLW your sales as now I know more about you, you will NEVER get any of my business.

If you read the listing it says at the bottom that UK Recorded / Courier is £2.99....

some people clearly have more time than me to be whinging about somebodies ebay prices

Exactly Pickle, thanks. If it's too boring for you ukoldschool, don't read it! :yahoo_silent:
When I started in BMX building again, I found out a lot about this guy by reading posts and talking to others about him. Now I will NEVER use him again.
Keep up the great posts guys so ALL newbies can read this too :daumenhoch:

Sorry to labour a poitn but enlightening in what way? If they are blind and cant read maybe, but surely this bit of the auction makes it [pretty clear:
"Shipping to Europe, USA & rest of world only £7.99, Air Mail
UK recorded/courier £2.99"
If its a case of somebody advertising something misleading I can agree with the need to make other people aware, but a potts bolt at 9.99 with a 2.99 postage fee is a waste of bandwidth and oxygen

I'm pretty hot on my reading and to help you with yours I will show you the following...
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/i63/209ed/postage.jpg)
You are correct that in the body of the description it says its £2.99 for postage to the UK... I didn't read down that far as I click on the postage details link...( STOOPID IN KNOW ) but if he can't use Ebay properly and get the amount he states in the description to match the amount he posts in the 'postage section' after selling as many items as he has then you can expect people to be confused.
Its up to me if I choose to waste 'bandwidth and oxygen' ... just as its yours if you choose to click on my link and make a comment.

Ive a few of those NOS copy bolts...£6 posted so pm me if you want one or five :daumenhoch:

thanks tony :) I didn't get that far as I clicked on the postage link ( see above ) and took that to be the postage ::)

just invested in a Ebay £9.99 one :( and got offered a free Oddy one off a top Radster :)
get yours on ebay and undercut every other bu**er.
... just make sure you list your postage as £2.99...or £7.99... or free... depending on where you click or how far down you read :daumenhoch:

No. honestly you are not.
You can wrap it up any way you want and whinge about it not being in such and such a place or it should be here, or there or blah blah blah, the main point is THE POSTAGE AMMOUNT IS LISTED VERY CLEARLY IN THE AUCTION. Its even written in LARGE TYPE so you dont MISS IT.
Maybe your the type of person that likes to NOT read an auction description? perhaps words offend you in some way and you prefer to look at the pretty pictures? whatever the reason its your oversight not his, so really you look a right mug by :
1. writing this thread
2. still arguing the toss after youve been shown up.
Now carry on searching the internet for petty things to whinge on line about, what next - £1 off the price of a tyre? ;)
Personally, when im wrong I write 'fair enough, my mistake, sorry'
He (Biagio) may well be a cretin and a bellend of the highest order, but in this one particular instance - he isnt. And thats why threads liek these are bad because they are full of BULLSHIT AND LIES

pointing out shill bidding (which has a direct impact on peoples wallets) is not exactly the same thing as pointing out that you cant read an ebay auction properly (which acheives nothing other than a red face for the OP)..... ;)
but thanks for playing. NEXT!

No - was just pointing out you had time to peruse teh internetz as well, not saying there's anything in common with over-inflated postage and schill (sic) bidding.
You're a very angry young man aren't you :D

no. Im a very angry OLD man :)
Ill be honest, im just bored of the hipocracy (sp?).
Sure biagio is a complete muggy c**t and overcharges all the time for stuff, but in this instance the potts bolt is fairly priced and the postage is reasonable. Ive seen things turned over in the for sale section at more of a profit than he's making on that potts bolt. Ebay is fairly simple to understand (for the most part), aside from people pretending things are not what they areally are you see an item, read the description, make a decision and buy or not. BIagio may be a lot of things but hes pretty solid on describing his items on ebay.
The price is a matter of opinion, the way he deals with people is also a topic for another thread. He isnt forcing anyone to buy anything.
IMO, he deserves to get shit for the way he buys stuff up to sell on (even though a lot of people on the 'for sale' section do exactly the same), but this thread was ill judged, poorly researched and blatently wrong.
Its not a crime to be a muggy c**t, but it is muggy c**tish in the extreme to accuse somebody of being a muggy c**t when the accuser hasnt doen their muggy c**ting homework.

that may well be true (and they are certainly shit and the bolt head shears off as soon as you try and tighten it up), but if you can find another oddyssey bolt online cheapr post it up as a comparison.

How exactly am I supposed to know about that?
He didnt seem particularly bothered as you can from his post above. I was only responding in kind to his post to me.
Terry - if I offended you I apologise.
'your mum' is a well known response to flaming, and not a direct attack as Im sure you realised (from your response)

Mr Sharp
I wasn't looking for a confrontation but I appear to have found one so I will do my best to explain the situation as it occurred.
I wanted to buy a stem bolt. I posted a wanted ad on here ...didn't hear anything...decided to buy one off ebay. I did a search for 'hollow stem bolt' and looked through the results... saw the Oddy one for £9.99 with £7.99 postage ... thought 'how the hell can you charge that... I bet I know whos selling that!' ... clicked on it saw the price ( £9.99 ) and postage price ( £7.99 ) and who was selling it...and, for once, as I don't think I've done it before, posted up on RAD as it seemed extortionate! Other people checked the link and saw the same as me. Most UK sales show the UK postage next to the price... you must agree that its common practice... but as revealed by Tony ( politely ) and you ( less politely ) had I read the description I would have seen that a different postage price was shown in the description.
You reap what you sow and the tone of your emails brought out a similar toned reply from me... my mistake as I really should know better about arguing with people on the internet by now.I don't look for confrontation on RAD... I have had 100% good experiences on here until today when you decided to go off at me for my 'mistake' but I won't let it ruin my overall experience.
Your actual point was of course correct but you seem to be ignoring the point that in 1) an ebay search 2) in the postage information of the item AND 3) in the checkout page of the item the postage is listed as £7.99... so yeah... I made a mistake... but, as I tried to explain, its not a difficult mistake to make as it has been listed incorrectly. That's all I have to say really...
I feel much better now having given you the full story and what do you know... the suns out and the kids want to go for off for a ride so I'm going too.
Cheers
Ed

There you go - that wasnt difficult. Nice one Ed :)

YAWN, what makes me laugh is that when we all meet in the flesh there is none of this arguing and everyone plays nicely.
All to easy to misinterpret the tone of a post and start a keyboard slanging match I suppose.... ::)

Dude, no offence was taken :daumenhoch: I knew exactly what ya meant and nothing really phases me to be honest :coolsmiley: Was always taught to say what ya mean and don't beat around the bush :2funny:
My initial comment was in jest thats why I put the laughing smileys on :LolLolLolLol:
Do love a good keyboard bash thread though :uglystupid2:

Im just shocked he aint a top rated power seller yet :-\ Im sure its just around the corner :)

it is getting a bit childish if you ask me ???.
Absolutely ::)
Constant tedious threads about Biagio this, Biagio that ............ If you don't like his prices then don't buy from him, simple, move on......or alternatively you can post daily threads about his £2.99 postal charges :daumenhoch:
A lot of jealousy over this guy and the parts that he manages to source is the route cause of these negative, repetitive threads, simple as that.
Its almost 9am and a new thread about him has not been created yet :shocked:
Allow me to assist to keep the momentum going ........ £1.49 seems an extortionate postal cost for a single digit decal :shocked: ............... lord help us :shocked: :shocked:....... he actually wants £1.99 to post to Europe and STOP the ruddy press :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:......... £2.49 to post to the States :shocked:........that has to be worth another 3 pages of debate surely :crazy2:
