Now, I have sold a few things on Ebay these last few months and I have done very well; but nothing like what I am seeing recently.
I may be a mug or the sellers may be in the clouds, who knows. Truth is they need one muppet to pay and they win.

I know these are very rare but I actually need one to finish a Fuji build. That's never going to happen with prices like this...

The buyers are ruining the hobby, along with the continual stream of 'the world's gone mad? posts on FB with screenshots of eBay listings.

Personally, I have cashed in on the situation. I advertised my Hutch on here and FB for ?1600, I even said on here that I?d accept offers, I?d have let it go for ?1500 to a trusted, known RAD member, I didn't get one nibble. So, I decided to split and list on eBay to maximize my potential return. I'm glad I did, even after fees, I've cleared over ?800 just on cranks, pedals and power disc.

I wasn't sure how much to list for, but used advice off other members and other similar items, to gauge my start price.

The FB moaners and screenshot warriors are hiking up prices themselves, and aren't even noticing themselves doing it.

Given what those two Geese have just gone for (...they were rare tbf...) this looks like a Bargain??!!

Very nice too...

Nice bikes...

All nice bikes but that's a lot of money regardless.

I don't understand in this current lockdown situation that most ebayers are stating 'collection only?'  so how's that work then when we cant move around from city to city?
