Here is a review of myself by ck21trhc. For background: I bought a bunch (like 30) of crank brother speedier levers from a bike shop that was going out of business. Basically posted them on here, first come, first served, $6 shipped each. I told everyone who PM'd me about them my Paypal address and that I could ship on the Thursday of the week that they posted. I guess he took that to mean he could wait to pay until Thursday. He inquired about them, this was my response to his message asking for 2 for $10:

Yeah, I'll do that! I expect them to go out Thursday, coming from TX.
Paypal is [redacted for spam-bot-google purposes]
Thanks, and if you could post when you receive them that would be awesome. Thanks! *******************************
I never heard back from him confirming that he wanted them, that he wanted me to hold them, or that he was going to pay. I received a ton of PMs about them and basically responded to everyone the same way as above. After I sold them all (sold = actual payment received of course, I'm not going to hold things I'm selling for 20 different people telling me they want one with no follow up), I PM'd everyone who hadn't paid telling them to not send me money because they were sold. I didn't hear from or receive payment from ck21trhc, and thus our next communication (after I sent him details) was me PM'ing him:

Classless move I hope I see you at a race. No trust all you care about is the 6 dollars. I hope you get a ton of flats

Please keep in mind that sellers don't usually hold things unless this arrangement is specifically agreed to (please, just ask if that's what you would like, and I would generally be happy to do so!). A general PM to me where you inquire about pricing and information, where I respond with details, is NOT sufficient for me (or, probably "the reasonable man") to hold something without further follow up from you.
Maybe this review isn't technically "positive," but the needless vitriol put a smile on my face and I thought I would share. (He also sent me another PM immediately before, but this is the funnier one). He posted in the original sales thread something similar, but I was unable to copy it before he deleted, otherwise I would include it (I only saw it briefly before he deleted).
