And yes, it "sold" on eBay last night for £215 (excluding BB) to an Italian student in Rome who mysteriously had a crash on the way to the bank this morning and now needs time to pay...... Which I haven't got!

What a beauty GLWS

Thanks, mate, it just grinds my gears when people bid and win stuff on eBay that they know they can't afford... Especially when one has bills to pay!!!

Sorry to hear about your ebay misfortune....i had an issue with ebay and an Italian buyer last year.....here it gets funny...i was selling a Kenwood mixer...weighed a tonne....and only UK purchasers...but this plank from Italy bid on it at the last minute....no contacting...me...won the auction and guess what?....Made no contact...so i had to go through ebay problem resolution centre to cancel his bid....by now the 2nd bidder wasn't interested...so i had to start again...and got a lot less in the end.....grrrrrrr!

ps....lovely frame.....is 531DB or something lighter?

this is soo awesome...

argh!!

For your amusement, first this.... "I am sorry i didnt answer anymore til now. I was involved in bike/crazy pedestrian-accident which caused me facial injuries and a couple of other minor scratches. Its not so bad but im not sure if ill be able to do the payment today because i have to put the money on the paypal related credit card and in order to do this id have to go out..Please forgive me for this delay, I will do my best to make the payment the soonest possible."

And then.... “Hi unluckily, being a student i only dispose of a prepaid credit card meaning aihave to phisically "move" the money. Ill try and do it by tonite or tomorrow morning. Once i did that the paypal process via ebay is really quick.”

An accident...? A student...? A prepaid credit card that you have to physically move money into...? What next???!!!

sold!

^did the guy from ebay get back to you?

such a lovely frame

Shite, why didn't I see this one sooner. What a beauty
