Howdy I have a Sargent seat for sale that has only a couple hundred miles on it. I bought it new and ended up having to sell my bike. This seat is as close to brand new as it gets. Can email pictures as I don't know how to post them in threads. Call Paul 425-343-4670

If you are willing to ship it to Sweden I'll take it...

Let me know if it's still available. Thanks.

Tweety

He hasn't answeared to PM's... So I dunno...

Skipperdabio

going through them right now

asdf33

replied to pm

Tweety

Which means you treated it as asdf33 was first? Just asking... I sent PM as soon as I posted... So in terms of that I'd believe me to be first on the list, but then you might not wan't to ship to Sweden...

tbartley

Has this sold yet?

Tweety

You tell me... I'm out irregardless... If people won't answear a PM and give a reason if exluding me I have no desire to deal with them...

This guy is not getting a thumbs up from me...

Kators

I know EXACTLY where your coming from. I PM'd a guy about some parts, never heard back, not a yes or no. I even posted the same day, never anything there either...

tbartley

Here's another example...never heard from the guy. https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=18829 It does get to be old....

Kators

*sigh* That it does, that it does. I was going to point out, although the last time I tried to give a pointer on a price, I got a PM saying that was not nice... Deal with it maybe? Anyways, Sargent Seats, brand new, are not a whole lot more than what this guy was selling his for. I am curious though, is there a ton of difference with a Corbin than there is a Sargent?

trinc

Sorry about not getting back to you. I put my phone number on the post. I recieved a call before your pm. I put my phone number on the post for the reason that I'm not around a computer all the time. Thanks for the interest.

Tweety

Well... Easy answear... I awake when you sleep... I'm in Sweden...
No harm, no foul...

01SuperChicken

He responded to me.

I found this during our discussions.

$329 shipped.

http://www.kneedraggers.com/details/...0--617409.html

I would prefer the corbin with the backrest, to encourage my wife to ride with me on occasion...but...price is a factor.

Tweety

I think both 01SuperChicken and Skipperdabio could benefit from reading here... https://www.superhawkforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10470

These are the rules for the for sale forum... They would clearly state that PM's are the way to form a tangible way of "queing up"... Not phone... Which I will not use as like I said I'm in a completely different time zone & cost for a call to the US is ridiculous...

But as I said... No harm no foul... I'm walking away from this sale...

Oh, and thanks for the link, but you might have noticed... I'm not in the US!

So, no... It's not anyway near $329 shipped, as they infact refuse to deal with me outside the US unless I pay in advance by money order and then triple the price in shipping... That's a nice little hassle that you in the US doesn't have to deal with... It seems about one in 5 US companies have yet to discover the rest of the world... You should probably be grateful the rest of the world is a bit less hesitant to send to you... How'd you like to have this answear to your attempt to purchase something from a company... "Oh, you'r not in the EU?! Well, no... We won't ship to the US, unless you send us your creditcard and pincode... Oh, you prefer not to?! Oh then just send the money cash in a plain envelope... I'm sure it will arrive someday..."

I agree that U.S. companies should perhaps be a bit more understanding when dealing with overseas sales. But you have to look at the truth of it, is the very small percentage worth the very large headache? I'm not saying yes or no. Just food for thought.

Tweety

Well, to some point understandable... If I had been in a 3'rd world country where they still shipped packets by mule's... It takes me less time to get some packets than it would across the US... And with the same accuracy...

So how is it less safe if I order and pay through the same methods as a US resident? Paypal or credit card works the same regardless of where my computer happens to be when I use them...

Again it's a case of "us not them"... Tell a US citizen that your company won't deal with him unless he pays upfront and you get a stark raving mad person on the phone... Get the same back and you are expected to just "deal with it", since you are not a US resident you are clearly not important...

Sorry... A bit of venting... I'm not "anti US"... but I am beginning to be anti "US is the worlds bestest place people"...

The popular European preconception about the average US residents knowing less about their surrounding world than third graders in our schools know about your country and it's history isn't that far fetched... I'd say the kids around here could probably compete on even ground with yours... But then turn it around and ask your kids anything about Europe and it's history and see what happens...

When I was tube dealing, it got to where I couldn't ship to Spain or South Korea. Some US companies don't want the hassle of always having people haggle about things they have no control over, like shipping, dues, fees, tariffs, duties, etc. etc. I can't tell you how many people overseas got pissy when they did not read the shipping details and wanted me to ship via clipper ship, no customs and a declared value of 1 cent with no insurance on hundred dollar auctions...

Tweety

And that never happened in reverse?! Damn... Now I'll have to go back and apologize to all those a-holes...

The not reading thing is universal... Goes both ways... Just fun to be on the recieveing end of the fallout, since I do happen to read the details, and fully understand the fun about customs and such... I kind of calculate it into the price to begin with...

I'm not going to try to count the number of times I have been rather impolitely told to * off for asking quite literally "Would you consider shipping to Sweden, and if so what shipping cost. I am aware of fee's and duties, and will calculate them myself..."

That's fun...

nuhawk

Yes, it has happened in reverse. I was pissed about it too because it seemed so trivial to me but insurmountable which ramped it up even further.

I wanted to buy a pair of leather jeans that were not stocked by stateside retailers. I found a shop in London that not only sold the pants but had them in stock.

I called them and ordered the jeans. At first everything seemed fine. They could charge my card and ship the jeans. Then there's a small problem. Their company doesn't pay insurance for export so the deal is off. Insurance on a ******* pair of leather jeans - are you kidding?

The next day I call the salesman back and tell him that this is all bullshit and I will just send him the cash in the mail and he can send me the jeans.

"They may be listening. Please do not call me anymore. It may cost me my job. I'm sorry I cannot help."

Got too much government?

Tweety

Doubt it had anything to do with the gubermint... Probably store bigwigs that was just as moronic as bigwigs tend to be...

Which ever way it hits... It's stupid and pisses people off... "Free trade", my ***... That's in the same category as "Freedom" and "Democracy" and all the other Big Words that usually means the little people get trampled on... And unfortunately tramples on each other...

01SuperChicken

Since you called my name out, I am obligated to respond, but won't continue the thread-jacking, as has occurred.

I did PM. He is selling the seat, so it is his prerogative regarding whom to sell his wares. I'm sure he was just looking for a quick, easy, local sale.

It's obvious to me that he doesn't want to ship overseas. Whether or not he communicated that concern to you...I do not know. Some just have an issue.

Step back, take a breath, stop thread-ranting.

Tweety

If you think I have an issue, you are right... I do have an issue with people not dealing upfront... To me that includes not replying, which Skipperdabio didn't... In my first post I was 100% upfront about the fact that I wasn't US resident... And I do believe that was why he passed me over... This I have no issue with... Not having the ***** to say that, I do have an issue with...

You I have no issue with at all... As I said, thankful for the link and thought...

Yeah... I have been ranting... But I'll keep doing that as long as anyone tries to make me accept that I should be treated different since I'm overseas... I accept that people do that... I don't accept people I have some respect for defends it...

Skipperdabio

It's not that I don't have the ***** to say no, I don't have the time. You need to understand that not just me but people in general don't want to ship overseas. I apologize that I didn't write that in the original post but get over it. You are acting like a dipshit. Now I know that all those swedish jokes I've heard over the years are true. By the way I feel really bad for not selling to you now. lol

nuhawk

I don't have the time and I don't have the ***** to say no.

swedish jokes?

OK, so dirty monkey jokes are off limits now, too. Randy says I gotta quit saying Paddy-****.

You want to post to our classifieds? Be a gentleman about it because if you're not - word gets around. You have 13 posts - what do you know about the bike?

Here's what you can know about us:

You should hope so. I agreed to buy the parts - I'm just not about being ripped off on shipping. The USPS Priority boxes (12"x12"x5") ship anywhere in the US for $13.50. UPS ships from any zip in the SD area for $17.38. This entire thread will be posted on the forum and you could possibly be banned from further sales through the classifieds based on your behavior. Thanks a ******* bunch, Dirtbag!
