an impass.he holds the cards.offer him 200 quid ( 320 dollars?)its worth it all day.not ideal, but its a nice and rare thing an still good value at that.
prinicipals are all well and good, but it will more than certainly sell for a reasonable amount, and if you could still get it for a fair price, then it would be in good hands.a message along the lines off, ok, ti still want the bike, i won it fair and square a the lower price, however, you appear to have misunderstood ebay's rules etc, so how about we meet somewhere in between, so both parties end up salvaging something from it.no hassle, just a simple transaction at a given amount.

Plenty of arseholes out there, no matter what. Shill bidders, fake accounts, people pretending to be something their not to gain trust and favour. Been going on since the beginning of time, and it will continue to be the case...If its a mistake his end, then you might get a good bike at a good price, if he's reasonable.If not, cest la vie was my point.Unfortunately some people don't think like you or I, people are inherently greedy, and if they think they can get better elsewhere, then most do.
He's an eBay newbie (apparently).. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250909998894'ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1434.l2649#ht_500wt_1327The bike is wrongly described and has the wrong wheels, seat and decals... its actually a relatively rare Mk2 Cromo Burner (Koizumi Frameset NOT Raleigh Notts).Its more than likely a case that one of the other bidders who missed out have tipped him off that its worth more than £91.00... which again STINKS...eBay won't do anything I know that... and with feedback of +2 its hardly gonna worry him if he gets his account suspended.Collecting Old BMX bikes used to be so much more fun that this...
