Interested if the above don't take it

Cracking FGSS bike in London at at a very good price. It'd be y/our loss if it hadn't posted here.

It's about time that rule was rethunk.

It's about time that rule was rethunk.

No it's not. The aim of that rule is to deter people who want to just spam every possible message board with an advert for their stuff. Pricing on here is often different from elsewhere partly (to my mind) because this is a real community and people see the value in this being a marketplace where the driver is a shared love of bikes, rather than a love of profit. If maintaining that atmosphere means losing the odd bike to eBay, so be it. It's not like you can't check there too.

That bike would've sold for 250 plus easy if the seller wanted to bother with eBay. So it's hardly an issue in this case is it? Some people who can't differentiate between the spirit and the letter.

I absolutely agree with discouraging profiteers and dealers in particular. Plenty of bikes here posted at delusional profiteering prices though, and often posted elsewhere too, they're just sensible enough not to say they've done it. Similarly some forums have a rule or etiquette that you'll not hoover up bikes and bits posted there to resell elsewhere but it's very hard to police.

eBay cross posting is sometimes problematic, less so gumtree but I don't really see the issue if it's on retrobike or another cycling forum too. We all love bikes.
