search for any nice DH frame or bike one-bay, for example an Intense M3. Price --$1500 (US) fermen1225 has 9 pages of frames and bikes for sale. Each one Brand New. 2 year warrenty. They cover shipping costs. The bikes are very cheap. Bellow wholesale. The shop is Fermen Cycle shop, apparently open since Feb. 02. The web site is www.fermen-cycle.com
Its located in London.
However, they state they are allowed to cancel bids made without prior contact. Only for sale with a buy it now price. However, the buy it now is not through ebay. essentially like advertising somethign here not presenting an item for bidding.(so as a buyer you are unprotected) You have to buy through contacting them. So I e-mail them... They do not except pay pal, apparently because ppl have complained about it. No visa or credit card because of problems with ppl faking identities. Only Cash transfer, or wetsern union to a nearby store on their street. (they cover the 8% western union charge)
I have searched businesses in London directories, at their exact given adress on the website... and cycle shops through out London, and businesses in the district. Nothing even close.
They present the Square Trade seal of fair business multiple places on the web site. I e-mailed square trade, they have no record and have never heard of them.
the e-bay name has 0 feeback, they erase all bids made.
Is it just me or does this seem like a really big scam?
there is hardly any info on the site, you cant buy through the web site. The phone is always busy and says to call back or leave a message.
anyone had any run ins with them?
