Hi everybody, just a question about stuff on ebay, is it safe to buy stuff from there? there is this USED BIKE WAREHOUSE selling all kinds of bike stuff , frames, bikes, wheels,groups you name it they have it. anybody buy from him before? how was the experience? where do all these used bikes come from, when you buy a bike you usually trade in the old one and sombody else buys it from the shop as they want to make some money from your used bike also right. They couldnt be selling it cheap to a warehouse right? or am I missing something. the stuff looks tempting . thanks for the help. HAPPY RIDIN🙂

Read some of his feedback. Read the bad feedback in particular (make sure his positive feedback is somewhere in the 99% range). If you see re-occurring problems that customers complain about, then you might want to look elsewhere. Not sure if you knew this, but some of the sellers that seem to have endless amounts of products, probably stole it or bought it from someone who stole it. That's why some of the "warehouse" sellers are so cheap.

Thanks for answering , i felt the same way some things are too good to be true.

Used Bike Warehouse is a very legit entity, quality people. It is based out of Ashland, Virginia a few miles north of where I live in Richmond. Many people I know have bought from them and one guy in particular has dealt with the owner in some other type of commercial business deal. From what I can tell they seem to actually conservatively rate the condition of their products. The stuff they rate as very good is actually often brand new take offs. (Note: I have no connection to Used Bike Warehouse whatsoever).

I purchased a frame from them on E-bay about 3 months ago. It was in great shape I took it to my lbs to have in inspected before I built it up and everything was just as described. The shipping was also fast. I would buy from them again.
ps. I have about 800 miles on the frame and it is fantastic
