ha, seems the seller's watching this and has messaged me to say he's just a punter, not a trade seller!
Anyhow, if anyone want's a direct line to the seller to send an offer then DM me and I'll give you his email. Just to be clear, I don't know him, I'd messaged him on ebay to get some details about the frame so have his email.

Sounds legit. £7k smashed on a frame and then selling it for £1.2k.
Could you ask him if he's got a property for sale as well?
Would love a £700k house for £120kEDIT: for the seller, who is inevitably reading - I am being sarcastic.
High end frames have little re-sell value unfortunately. You'd like to think you could recoup half but no one would spend this much on used plastic unfortunately.

I bought a Parlee Track for £1,200 a couple of years back, which was custom made for an Irish Track Semi Pro. Same story, RRP was £6kish.
I think those sellers must have a 50% trade discount, then buy those bikes with a business of sorts so get the VAT back or simply write it off then get cash / PayPal pocket money when reselling
