Dunno Rob, scams are often (usuaully?) outside UK, but this one is Aylesbury.

Postage is very reasonable though!!!!!

Have looked at his feedback etc looks like it is in the uk?? and i agree postage is good at £8 dont think it will get through the letter box though!!

Its the price at the moment that is making alarm bells ring!!

Agree mirrors look a bit odd!

I must have too much time on my hands ... I just looked at the previous items he sold and they are mostly glasses (drinking variety) and some model yacht bits, a kite. Nothing of any size like this. Maybe it's a model and he forgot to say that? :puzzled:

Are you thinking about bidding then Rob?

No mate, just curious as to whether it is a genuine sale, but i will keep an eye on it to see what happens? might email the bloke and see what he has to say??

I might just offer him £25 to close the deal, and say I'll pick it up to save on postage!;)

US spec reflectors on front mudguard......
Americanised spellings of Aluminium & carbon fibre...
Nothing bike related in the sellers history as far back as you can go.
Nothing cast iron but I'd be thinking maybe a hijacked account???

Well, someone has started the bidding at £11.

I am no eBay expert, but doesn't it usually say "reserve not met" when the bidding starts and is lower than the reserve? I know he said "low reserve", but it looks like £11 would be accepted! :puzzled:

Not a UK number plate, if you blow it up it is white.

What British person would put spotlights on their brake calipers? (Fourth row on the left. That is not normal.)

One who would sell a 999 for UKP11?

Just been pulled by e-bay @ UKP2550. Bit of account hijacking me thinks.
