hey, yeah I was living in holland, hence why you see me lurking around this thread. concordes are ten a penny there, i've bought 3. marktplaats is great, but you won't often get people to post you stuff, it's mostly people who don't want the hassle. it's also pretty informal, people bid, but the bids don't mean anything and sellers can do as they please. it's a dutch specific site, hence they don't advertise on there with the intention of selling abroad. there's no way to avoid it, you just ask them to post, and they either will or they won't. They mostly won't unless they're bike dealers, in which case you prob won't be grabbing a bargain anyway (or they'll be selling them on here). i'm not there at the moment and it's looking doubtful i'll return, but if i was i'd have offered to pick stuff up for you.
though i should really be saying....keep your mucky paws off my cheap concordes, i don't want people catching on.
Does anyone have any experience from buying bikes/frames from marketplats. I understand that's the best place to find Concorde stuff though no one seems to want to post to UK. Anyone else had this problem or knows of a sneaky way to avoid it?
