All names have been changed (or eliminated) to protect the innocent (annoying!!!)...
I'm a giving guy when it comes to bike parts. Anything from my personal collection (to a point) is up for grabs. All I ask for in return is to return the favor (pay it forward) AND shipping costs. Usually, it's not much, but if i'm GIVING you the part, at least pay for the shipping. Is this too much to ask? I mean, I'm giving the part away for free AND you want free shipping? NO WAY!!!
It's happened twice here...I offered a part for the cost of shipping and the person was like, "well, you're already giving me the part. Can't you cover the shipping?" No, No, NO I CAN'T!
I've had this happen on another forum and I stopped giving the parts away. Let it be known: If I offer you a part (from MY collection, not the Bike Shop) I'll send it and it'll cost you SHIPPING ONLY! Don't complain!
This rant does not apply to the few I've sent parts to (who paid shipping only)
sorry...I needed to vent.
I'm done now.
