    Hasn't stopped people from bidding on it. There are some incredibly gullible
    people on Ebay. Take a look at the guys feedback- what a way to start your
    ebay career!

    Ahh, it's too funny. I asked the seller the question (deliberate spelling
    mistake here) "Hi, what type of bike did this derailer come off?" and they
    actually replied, "the derailer came off a huffy gila,the cogs have been
    change with brand new shimano cogs(never used)"
    to which I replied "Can't have. Wrong type of bike. Are you sure you're not
    just trying to rip people off?"
    Which I haven't got a response to.

    How about you ask them a siller quesiton, just for fun? He he

    Amazingly, the guys negative feedback has increased to -2, and people are
    still bidding on the derailler. On the bottom of the listing, he quotes
    $10.00 for standard postage for an item that should cost less than $5 to
    post, and next to it he screams "NO REFUNDS!". A disreputable seller if ever
    I have seen one, yet people continue to bid.
