So let me get this right! The shop has been abandoned since 1984 and not entered since?

What a crock of shite.

I guess cash on collection could help. If it's no good don't pay.
On the other hand I wouldn't want to rock up to that place with 4k+ in my pocket.

'Just this way sir. That's it through that little door. My friends will assist you from here.'

Thats the Shop Snav, i used to drive past it and it was always shut, i phoned the contact number that was placed on the door, but never got an answer, then one day i stopped by and there was a message in the window saying about the owner dying, i never followed it up after that. There was a old raleigh sign up in the window. I should have been a bit more persistent me thinks.,

just take a night visit in the shop and look what is there
and you got it for free

xGoose · « **Reply #57 on:** March 14, 2010, 01:42 PM »

2900 and going, I sent them a few q's last night, but they replied saying a deal was pending. Weird its still there.

Maybe theyre waiting to see how much people are willing to offer before pulling it, giving the old lady a couple of hundred for it, and the finding out whats its really worth.

trasher · « **Reply #58 on:** March 14, 2010, 02:09 PM »

report the listing to ebay ,,,that'l teach the feckers

scary_leary · « **Reply #59 on:** March 14, 2010, 02:24 PM »

If this is a genuine listing they should pull it stating the auction will return in a few days..
They can see the interest its generated, relist with a full picture and parts breakdown..

we can all sit back with a beer and watch it unfold.

"all the money less the fee is going to her" ... yeah sure!

Wonder if it was a wind up. Never no now

crazycraig · « **Reply #68 on:** March 14, 2010, 03:03 PM »

I Just received this message

Hi Craig. so so sorry for the later reply. it has been so crazy, with family and the messages over offering the amounts. my husband has sold bmx's on ebay and know it would be worth something, but the offers was shocking. a person not even seen the item, put a offer in from down south, which at the time, it hought he was joking. many thanks for the interest.

Make up your own mind

eamonn · « **Reply #69 on:** March 14, 2010, 03:05 PM »

STUMPYLEE · « **Reply #70 on:** March 14, 2010, 04:12 PM »

jimmyp · « **Reply #71 on:** March 14, 2010, 04:16 PM »

snav69 · « **Reply #72 on:** March 14, 2010, 04:17 PM »

Someone should go to the shop and ask a neighbour where the woman lives, then flash a few quid at her and fook the ebayer off

trasher · « **Reply #73 on:** March 14, 2010, 04:34 PM »
