Hi Kingcutter.
You've made a pretty good case for why that frame has gone up to £50. That's fine by me. What I was actually surprised by was the fact that you grabbed it inside 5 minutes when it was on the CTC website. Less than 24 hours later it's for sale on here at more than twice the price. I'm guessing you hadn't even taken delivery when it went on here.
Those are normally the actions of a trader, not someone just buying and selling stuff for a build. Prices on here are usually a lot lower than on the bay because we are all mates helping each other out and there's a general lack of making-a-fast-buck going on.
The visible signs of your buying and selling did seem to look like a bit of fast footwork. Seems only fair to alert people. If there are good reasons for it, that's fine too.
