Hello fellows,

Just thought I'd let those of you (unfortunate enough to) sell on eBay know about the following:

Recently, new eBay member melbay*2010 purchased a Sachs-Huret Eco-Duopar rear derailer. Without warning, I find negative feedback posted to my account. He claims I did not send the nut for the top pivot bolt; the auction photo clearly points out that it didn't have one. Prior to the auction, I had also informed him that it didn't have the nut, and far as I knew, it didn't need one for mounting to Campag/Shimano dropouts, of which the washer was designed for such mounting.

Nevertheless, I apologized, offered to refund his money, PLUS pay for the return shipping in exchange for removal of feedback. He refused to hear it, and demanded that I send the nut or get lost forever.

I leave it to your own decision - I'm not trying to tell you not to sell to him; just want to inform.

Take care,
