Maybe its his B/Fs and they've split? Maybe he was given it in lieu of a debt? Maybe his legs fave fallen off an he no longer rides?

 

[Slick]

Yeah, definitely dodgy.

So did I

I am selling 2 bikes in Denmark at the moment as I no longer use them and need the space.They are well below the expected price, simply because I want them out of the way. Would that be considered to be dodgy.

Did anyone try to contact the seller before reporting him?

If it isn't dodgy, they'll reinstate the advert.

Or think F66k it i can sell elsewhere , it could well be dodgy but sometimes you can sell stuff and it goes for well below the right price.I sold my old carrera valued on here for £120-£150 and i got £85 for it

would you try and sell an expensive bike with just the words "carbon frame, super light", or would you give details of what it was, what size, and what chainset etc it had on it.

I suspect the latter

I couldn't see what the original ad said. Personally I would make a long drawn out sales pitch. Was a Koga Solicio? I could always do with another one. Especially if it is dirt cheap.

Why? As long as they didn't lie in the report (eg just say "this seems to cheap not to be stolen" not "I know this man and he is a bike thief"), why not leave it to the presumably well used processes within Gumtree?
