  1. Back to (I lost all the other messages in the thread, excuse me)
    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=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?

    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."

    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 [censored]
    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)

    "shimano grip shift type. i hope thishelps out. happy bidding"

    Interesting combo.

    Haha! They've now slipped to a -3 rating. That's got to be a record.

    page.<

    I buy and sell a lot on Ebay and often don't post answers to questions with the listing. Several reasons for this-
    1/ Ebay emails you the question, you simply hit reply and its done. To put it on Ebay requires lots more button clicking and takes time...
    2/ Quite often it creates lots of other uninformed questions which then all have to be answreed as well.

    If I think the answer will help me sell something, I'll post the answer if I haver time otherwise not.
    Doesn't mean the seller is a con, check out his feedback and contact other people hes sold too for their experience of him.

    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

    I think next time I bid on anything I'll get Gemm to do the suss-out
    first. :-)
