Asked a perfectly legit question on an auction and the guy blacklisted me.

I asked if he could put a vernier on the disc as I need one in spec.
Have asked the same question thru someone elses acc now as well.
Seems a reasonable request I would have thought? Anyone else feel like asking for me as well? Teehee!:yes:

Probably more of a hint that you should avoid dealing with them ... perhaps the rims have been bent, had an impact, etc.

They seem to have a good reputation. Perhaps they made a mistake,

Agreed - some of the dodgys don't like any questions.

Face it, he just does not like you. Did you not put on deodorant this month?

Maybe he just can't be bothered dealing with people that can't read?

Or did he alter the description after your question? (please tell me it's so, you seem on to it)

He is known to be a bit of a grumpy individual but I have had good service from him and in person he was quite good to deal with

The auction says that there is a disc available if requested! Sorry to confuse you. I asked him a queston about it. Was I not clear on that?
He has got good feedback, I was surprised to be blacklisted for a genuine request.
"I will take the disc if you can put a vernier caliper on and verify thickness please? "
There I copied and pasted my exact words

Measuring with verniers will only show the measurement at the thickest point.

A micrometer would give a more accurate measurement.

True, but usually they have a little easment right up against the slider that will clear any worn lip and give a reasonable idea.
Given his good feedback, I thought he would be amenable, but no!
