Nightmare, sounds like a sorry situation. My gut says that eBay would put this kind of dispute into the 'too difficult' pile and refund him at your expense, but if it is a high value item and you think you could make your case in writing then personally I'd be tempted to dig in and see what happens. Maybe there is a way to escalate things and get the problem in front of someone who is able to spend 5mins trying to understand the sequence of events.
Good luck if you choose to push back.

I like the silver groupset myself, not going to be to everyone's taste but a nice alternative to the ubiquitous black on everything else.
The P2 fork makes it look a little sharper than the original IMO. Shame to lose the matching stripe on the original carbon fork but I'll hang onto it for potential future use.

I'm back! Busy period and then I got injured - torn hamstring - which meant a lot of refocussing had to be done. 10 weeks into recovery now and been riding for about 4, which has given me the appetite to get this finished and ridden!
The seatpost & tyres did sell in the end, but I haven't sold the old bars & stem yet. I ended up getting some mid-level Zipp bars from CRC for £20, plus Lifeline £5 bar tape and an old Giant stem I had lying around - works just fine. I'm up & running for a net outlay of £147 based on the cost of the original bike, what I have actually had to buy and what I got for all the original parts.
I've done 3 rides on it over the past 24hrs and whilst it's no featherweight it is a great fit for me and has a strong power transfer, no noticeable flex and even with the pads set super close it doesn't rub the rim when pushing up a hill out of the saddle. Very pleased and I can see it becoming one of those favourites that you just always end up riding.

Medium BC in Kent, not far on the train: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1914360942093931
I really like these frames and this build looks okay.

General clearout of some stuff I no longer use, some I stripped from donor bikes, some I inherited and some I don't know where it came from. All priced hopefully cheap enough to get it into use again.
Will require postage unless you live near Cambridge or we can arrange some kind of bulk drop in a couple of weeks time, I no longer travel into town for work. Postage will be 2nd class, £3 per item/combo.

I've got two pairs of B&W speakers to clear as we get ready to move house. One pair of DM601 bookshelf speakers and the other a set of DM603 floorstanding speakers. Absolutely banging speakers with great detail and huge sound if required.
Both pairs are in excellent condition, all cones perfect and covers intact & unmarked. They have been owned from new, never moved from their original positions and work perfectly.
Pics here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/d6LdwYP5nKV7cgs49
Marketplace prices seem to be around £200 for the 601s (with covers, there are cheaper ones without) and around £400 for the 603s.
I'd like £150 for the 601s and £350 for the 603s. For that price I will deliver them to you in London (maybe not inside congestion charge zone mind you), or meet up with you somewhere convenient if you are not in London! Postage seems fraught with potential risk for this kind of thing.

Maybe, I don't know. You did get those community buses in VW flavour so it could just be a pimped-out version of one of these: https://www.flickr.com/photos/23875695@N06/8075010145
Definitely had two very distinct lives either way.

Amazing, like a nightclub on wheels.

Not a bargain, probably clocked and possibly ragged to within an inch of its life but still had to share. Think of what the inside of this will have seen.

I’ve got a 2020 SE 128gb I’m literally about to pop in the post to trade in against my new phone. It would have gone today but I was lazy and didn’t make it to the PO.
I’m getting £190 so happy to let it go for the same. 86% battery and one very minor pair of surface marks to the screen, around where the G is on the keyboard. Was in a case from day one but no screen protector hence the scratch. The rest is perfect.
It’s in the packaging now so can’t take a pic but the above description is accurate. PM me if you’re keen.

Does anyone have a complete one going spare?
