If so that would be cool. What's not cool are people hogging all the good value deals only to mark up and sell on Ebay.. greedy bastards..

I had a guy do the old buy and mark up right there at the swap. I was thinking about buying a DH stem, when I went to make an offer it was already sold. I walked half way around the velodrome and another guy had the stem for five dollars more! I t was the exact stem, same scratches/wear and everything! It was still a good deal, but I refused to buy it on principal. Screw those guys, they can get a real job. It's one thing to sell off your own sponsored gear because you have probably earned it, but it's another to buy and sell someone elses sponsored gear just to make a buck.

These 'principles' you speak of... they teach you about those in terrorist school? Cause you are clearly no American.
