^ I imagine he spends a lot of time in the pub boasting about the killing he's making flogging old bikes to mugs.
Not wholly defending him, but I bought my Eddy Merckx extra corsa from him couple of years ago for £250 and picked it up from him. Nice guy sat in his garden drinking tea and talking bikes and his sons aim to be a pro rider.
He gets his stuff from Holland from bike shops from old racers from the 80's 90's that trade in their racers for Dutchie style bikes.His prices have gone up a lot since then mind.
I too know this chap and have been 'round his place many a time and he's always been good to me, so much so that he even let's me rummage around his garden and basement for any bits i desire 'till the cows come home.
It's true that he does want your dosh but then that's why you're potentially doing business with him in the first place.
How Silly Suffolk summed him up is indeed the impression he gives off but if you know your stuff and stand firm you'll come away with no worse a deal than from anywhere else these days in my opinion.
As for his prices going up most people are jacking theirs up as well and it's not just in the used bike parts world either, anything old and quality seems to cost a mint these days.
However there is one rude, old curmudgeon out there that leaves a sour taste in the mouth but that's another story...

^ I have no problem with him charging relatively high prices for nice frames- it's the deplorable behaviour of listing an item as 'DD AMAZING PINARELLO PANTOGRAPHED CAMPAGNOLO STRADA CHAINSET 52/40 170' with the chainset as the accompanying picture, and then letting the bidder know they are only bidding on the seatpin of the groupset in the description that gets me.
Unless it is a mistake and he means to say 'only bidding on the chainset', this sort of thing really riles me..

I'm guessing it's a mistake, if not then it is indeed sharp practice.
but you could always ask the seller a question.
