eBay 'specials' and other junk finds

A place to bang on about subjects close to your heart that affect us all as 400cc riders. general banter is rife, however rudeness and abuse seem to be the norm, If a bit wet round the ears best go play elsewhere. Auto pruning of items 31 days and older

"Hi. Seriously, what sort of offer are you looking for? It's not a Baby Blade, that was the NC29. It has no MOT or tax. It will need a respray - that's just wrong! It needs new locks, has mismatched tyres. I saw your response to the previous message - £850? For a MINT ORIGINAL NC23 with 12 months MOT and tax maybe. I do think my £225 offer on the previous listing was more than fair. It needs at least £200 spending to make it properly roadworthy. Steve."
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

The reply:

"Because you think my bike is such a mess please don't bid.
It is at £410 at the moment with nearly 50 people watching.
so other ebayers seem to think different to you."


Some people need to go to SpecSavers :lol:
