Lying about gear...
What do you guys think about people that lie about the gear they are selling. Here's the thing. I buy this Flik from a girl in eastern US that said she bought this canopy and rig brand new but never started to BASE. ex bf was an ex PRes or something like that. She sends it hear and you can tell it has jumps for sure, a little blood stain on the corner and then I discover a fucking patch on a cell. So i send her and email asking why she misrepresented herself, I would have bought the canopy, might have paid a little less. SHe sends email back saying Basic Research told her it was new. I call BR they say no, definately new it was used, actually was a vented Fox, then she had 5th brake line and valve covers put in. Do you think karma will just take care of this?

Re: [Treejumps] Lying about gear...
Well, I had not planned yet to name names, but, someone that had a BASE bf, and bought gear from Basic Research, and had vent covers and fifth brake lines put on would know if they were buying used or new. BR told me the canopy was sold as used. Anyway....
