FA: Motorcycle Trailer.

FA, Bike Trailer on ebay item No 140155728293

Yes, I know the start and BIN price is a bit steep, but icba to follow
up all those begging letters for a reserve or 'offer' price and BIN.

If anyone on the newsgroups wants it £175, OVNO, which I think is fair.

 

So do I. Your BIN of £350 on the auction page is taking the piss,
mind. Brand new two-three bike trailers are about £400, and for that
you'll get lights and everything.

 

I know ... I 've got fed up of people emailing asking me 'what I'll
take' for _anything_ I've put on ebay, so yup, it's taking the piss. A
'real' BIN would have been £225/£250 I think. ...

 

I agree - these gits really piss me off, too, which is why when I'm
selling a bike I put in the auction that I won't take offers and will
let the auction run its course. Doesn't stop the dickweeds trying it
on, though, so now if anyone does, I simply forward their message to
Ebay as being against Ebay's rules. If more people did that, the twats
would get kicked off.

I don't mind someone making a sporting offer if something doesn't
sell, mind you.

 

I, for one, wouldn't want to ride a 166Kg *trials* bike.

LOL, I hadn't even realised that it was against ebays policies. I shall
make a note and act upon it forthwith. (Had an offer of £75 to 'take it
away tonight' ... from someone in Devon, I'm in Doncaster, it's Friday
night and I'm not waiting for some no-show ...

Absolutely, take the chance, it's amazing what you can get, and the
bargains are there to be made when stuff hasn't sold first time around.

 

Surely the Bikes have their own brakes......

Top-posting fixed ...

Do you have a link to verify that? And anyway, so what?

My auction says it's for a trailer to carry three Trials Bikes, most of
which weigh less than 100 kgs each, indeed my old Beamish RL 250 only
weighed 91.3 kgs dry weight and that was like a large elephant on
steroids compared to recent gear.

Besides which, once it's gone the legality and responsibility for what's
carried on it isn't mine.

PS, top-posting and poor spelling don't add weight to stupid attempts at
nit-picking arguments.

 

Well, of course it is. If somebody pulls the auction they don't get
their final value fees, do they?

 

Ohh you Bitch.

I assume that is not the level of logic you apply to your day job.

Ah ha!

"No", a police spokesman was heard to say.

the buggers make enough out of us all as it is...

 

I saw one of they rocket-III things today. Now THAT's a bike. I think.
fucking big, anyway. the bloke reckons if you drop it you have to find a
convenient rugby team to pick it up again, as it weighs about 750 lbs or
something.

 

I've just had a sale for an engine time out: winning bid £77.

Five minutes later the winning bidder emails me:

"I made a mistake with my bidding...."

****. He's looking down the barrel of his first NPB strike.

 

oooh, silly man, messing with BOFH. or should that be BSOBSFH?

Well, all's sorted. He wants the goods - he's bought stuff from me
before. Turns out he mistakenly bid £3500 instead of £35.00 and someone
else bid £75 at the last minute, and so he got trumped by two quid.

I pointed out that he wouldn't have to pay £3500 unless someone else had
made the same mistake and bid £3498.

Which would have been fun to see....

My dream is two people making this mistake, and both using sniping
software.

 

hehe. In reality, though, I doubt it'd be possible to take advantage of it.
