[Ady]

Is it just me but lately items are selling for silly money at present ..
Here are a few examples below..
They would be better off buying from the USA ...

Shill bid city...I'm also confused because it states "no cracks" but then says there's a crack on the seat mast... Hmmmmm.. False advertising there. Who is this ?

Been looking for a ripper for ages and this pops up..
As soon it was listed it was at£400...
But lately I have been bidding on things for my build and just getting out bid with stupid bids..
I give it a week or so to check if item relisted to see feedback left and sold..
Just saying that items at present are selling at silly prices..

What colour PK and original finish or not ?

[QUADROPHENIA]

Cheap brake set, is that the PK that JJ sold at MK ?

[kungfunky]

Not the same frame set Pete.

Never heard of this ebay seller..

The guy that's selling the DC Brake set is also selling an OG chrome Tuf Neck stem ( nos) ! I messaged him to inform him that the stem was once mine & it's a used stem, not new. I had it chromed myself. His reply was 'really'? Didn't alter the listing, so therefore a dishonest seller in my opinion, so I came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to bid on his blue Kashi that looks very nice. Stating that it's used probably wouldn't affect the selling price unless you believe that 80's Tuf Neck chrome looks that good?......Starts with a W, has a K in it & ends in R.....

I had a quick look on ebay for a few parts today.  But hardly anything for sale.  Even though there may not be as much interest as a few years back people must be keeping what they have got.  So the odd part could be getting a higher price.
Although agreed too many messers and shill bidders on there now.

In the good old days with ebay you could check the bidders history bidding on items which even showed the % of bids with the seller to check if they are shill bidding.
Now ebay makes it so easy now to do this as with everything in life profit comes first.
Just happening to often now and nothing being done..

[Gnarlyscoots]

The highest bidder on 95% of the blue items has a feedback score of 256. His/her bill will be extremely high if they 'win' all those items, including both sets of blue MX brakes 

If they sell for £300 a set, I will sell my blue set for £300, which will include Skyway pro pads too
