eBay and Craigslist finds

Like, for example, 150 notes for postage.

And the forumenger posting here and the Ebay seller are one and the same.

Not go well then dude?

Nope! this was his response after 2 weeks and various promises of "il post tomorrow":

"Hello Richard,
I got a quote at my local shipper to ship to your location and the cheapest rate is $150 and at that price they can not provide a tracking number. I know that's not the $75 quoted by the calculator in ebay but there is no way that it can be shipped for less than $150 an I am actually losing money on this deal due to ebay fees on top of this. it would be another $75 in shipping if you still would like to complete the transaction. I have packed it as safely as I can in the smallest box possible. Please let me know what you would like to do."

Errrrrrrrrr. Nahmate. Refund por favoure!

If it's yours, it shouldn't be in this thread and if it keeps failing to sell, there's somhing wrong with the price or the product.

"not especially desperate to sell": with a starting price of £299, that's probably just as well.

Mind you, it is a "head- turning & frequently admired bike-a design classic,favoured by pro-couriers,with livery/add-ons that accentuate a genuine style"statement"....

if it keeps failing to sell, there's somhing wrong with the price or the product.

In this case, both.

I think we've seen that pantographing before... maybe it was at my kids' kindergarten.

I particularly like how he's managed to incorporate the 3TTT logo with the Playboy bunny and the 50 Cent ones.

Strong work!

Do the forks on this look right ?

" it was immaculate until I let a family member use it while his bike was off the road and he didn't look after it too well and it got a bit scratched".

no...they look a bit bent...It might be a camera angle thing...though the gap between the wheel and the downtube looks a little too close...the angle from the front of the fork to the angle of the headtube look out too...

I asked the seller for measurements pertaining to that Condor on eBay, but they seem rather averse to the idea of using a tape measure...
