Bombard this seller with stupid questions please

[Jaymz]

Sold a bike on saturday, sent it tuesday, it mustve arrived with them today and BLAMMO

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Old-BMX-Bike-1981-Lew-Ways-Trakstar-16-/120894426159?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item1c25de8c2f

BIN price is an £79 mark up and postage is a £20 [ I know it only costs £10 to post it as i only did it on Monday on P4D.]

He's omitted from the listing the huge hole in the seat post, and used my fooking pics, but omitted the money shots that show the peeling paint, how fooked the chrome is on the forks and the seatpost

I cant believe I had a little bit of remorse about selling it to him for £65inc postage. Good luck to him!


Give him some shlt radsters. . . . pretty please xxx

Noticed this straight away Jaymz. Saw your bike on Gumtree first too then rb.com. Must be very galling! 

I even got annoyed a few weeks ago when I sold some cheapo red comp 3s for £12.50 posted then saw them go up for sale for £20 

[HARORIDER]

report him to ebay for copyright on your original photo's and surely if you leave feedback potential buyers will see this and not want to bid above what they just bought it for  

[Jaymz]

I sold it through gumtree, so no feedback to be left. I dont mind him trying his luck to be honest, I just think the chancer deserves to get some major hassle, I reckon he'll be lucky to get £30 on an auction, he has a reserve set so I think he's going to end up keeping it

[Dannywhac]

What a b**lend 

Good old flippers eh?

[Retrodan72]

I may message him and say that it looks like my Son's bike that got stolen from the Hereford area last week, he may sh4t himself that he's handling stolen goods and pull the listing.

i reported some feck wit that used a couple of pic's of one of my boomboxes to sell his - turned out he was a fake account and not even in this country   - reported it twice to ebay who did fook all  
in the end i said that i had traced his where abouts and alerted the police who were very interested in this case and would like a word - he tried to put up a buy it now price for 15 mins to see if any one bit - but no go so he disappeared  

ebay no help - but you could try  

i think we should all tell him, it's a rare bike and worth £500 +

then watch as he thinks he's onto a winner

i asked -

hi.. any ideas what size the wheel bearings are ? also any skid damage on rear tyre ? many thanks

quite annoying but also genuine sounding! 

[Retrodan72]

I sent him:

Hi Lee, i'm not sure how much you know about BMX's, but that bike you're selling is worth so much more than what you've got the BIN price up for. I sold one exactly the same for £470 + postage not even a year ago, it seems that the cheaper the bikes in the 80's, the more rare and valuable they are. Just helping you make a decent sale.

He'll be gutted when he reads that.

I like it,

I cant ask questions as my ebay name is part of my email address and he's got that!!

Some one as him if they are DC MX1000's with quick release!!

Wot a knob ill get a question in Jay  

let's see the reply to this 

Hi nice lil bike you have there, can you tell me the history of this bike please, was it yours as a kid? or was it your kids? always good to know the history my friend sometimes makes the purchase even better when it has a story behind it.

[Peter J]

I asked how many owners its had 

[Jaymz]

   Q: Hi, these were susceptible to a bit of rust, has this one any rust, peeling paint or holes?
A: It has some rust but nothing to bad at all

O really


   
 

   Q: hi.. any ideas what size the wheel bearings are ? also any skid damage on rear tyre ? many thanks
A: Not sure about bearings and the tyres are ok

they have tread yes, but are cracked

He replied to me with this:
I have just started in the vintage bmx game, I'm currently building a raleigh r4000, I only paid £65 for this last week,
just thought I would try and make a quick profit, your price seems a bit high but i guess if the right person the right time
is willing to pay then all good,

I think that sellers on here........... 

[Sink]

Just asked if the staue is included in the sale, If i were to use the buy it now would he include it? i've been after one for ages  

[BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN]

think we need some more "do you know that your bike your selling there is worth near £500 - don't miss out get the price up and good luck with the sale"

 

[Devilock]

Ill say this is on nearly every BMX enthusiasts most wanted list...!

[ED209]

Based on the size of the Easter Island heads that bike must be HUGE 

I'm gonna ask him to measure the holes in the gusset to see if it is a 'copy' or not

ive just sent him this

[kungfunky]
