Pennine Track Bike 57cm

Makes no odds: if it's for sale elsewhere, it can't be advertised here.

Having a fixed price sale here and an auction elsewhere, the chances of someone getting fucked are considerable.

No doubt you'll take the highest price, which means that whoever buys it, could have legitimately bought it cheaper and possibly leave another gazumped and disappointed buyer.

So that's two people fucked-over for the price of one.

Decide what you want to do: an auction or a fixed price sale. No auctions on LFGSS, so it'll have to be eBay if that's your choice.

Either way, LFGSS ads should be exclusive: if it's advertised for sale on here, then it can't be advertised elsewhere and vice versa.

FWIW it is a nice bike, but you'll (almost always) take a kicking selling a complete bike: split it to get more of your money back.

Its staying on here, apologies for the inconvenience caused, yeah I know it would make more being split but I just wanted to sell it quickly before I returned to uni

Fair enough: the risk with a split is that you won't sell everything...

Still don't get why you didn't just cancel the listing rather than faffing about asking eBay to do it.

Meh.

You'd possibly get back what you paid for the frame if you sold it. I don't think anyone on here is looking to fork out an extra £100 for some Espresso (spit) wheels.

It was stolen but you got it back within a couple of days. You'd still like to sell it so you asked eBay to cancel the auction. They accidentally deleted some of the (presumably far higher) bids. Despite cancelling the listing on eBay (after it ended), the listing is still visible. All sounds pretty legit.

Yeah it is legit, BEFORE it was recovered I tried to get them to cancel it. BEFORE I got it back they deleted bids instead. AFTER I got it back and the auction had ended I wasn't happy with the fact that potential price changing bids had been deleted so I REFUNDED the winning bidder and CANCELLED the TRANSACTION the listing had ended at this point, there was no listing to cancel. Hope that clears it up for you.

Makes no odds: if it's for sale elsewhere, it can be advertised here.

You meant it "can't"

Or, better, it can, but someone else should advertise here on the appropriate thread.

anyway :) what's done is done, bike's advertised here, seems legit (and it's nice).

Good luck with the sale!

Well glad that's cleared up. Good luck with sale.

Don't know what you mean mate... ;)

Before you got it back you should have just cancelled it. eBay don't need to be contacted, you just click 'End Item'. Seriously man, you made this a lot more complicated than it needed to be.

I thought doing that sells the item to the current highest bidder? will know for future reference i guess

I think on auctions you have more options when you end it, but you can put "item not available" as a reason. I haven't got a running auction to check, but I'm sire there's an easy way to do it!

Good luck with the sale (split it!)
