Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

For the Waugh? If memory serves it was made by Dave Yates for Joe's shop...... £80 is a steal

And Reynolds at that

I have put a lower bid in on the bike but not heard so far so I might just bid the £80 rather than loose it.

Stop messing about and splash the cash

Have a look on the Internet about Joe Waugh, Dave Yates and M. Steel cycles here up North (sadly closed)... It has no mudguard eyes so buy it

Just having another look at it. Looks like a great quality frame that should clean up well. New pedals and saddle and then in time a silver seatpost and some gum wall tyres and it'll look very sleek. White saddle and bartape would be my choice - it'll look faster!

I've loved every bike I've done with white tape.
Right up to the moment I get dirt on it (usually about five minutes after I've finished it)

Some one else has just put a bid on and its now £82 if I go up to lets say £120 would that still be a good deal ?

 

[roadrash]

if it would make you happy to own it then it would be money well spent in my book

Yes i think it will with ease

At the price it finished at somebody got a good deal for sure

The moral of the story with ebay purchases is that if you like it, grab hold of your balls and go for it!

Defo worth that all day long.
@Boon 51 OTOH it wasn't the prettiest bike in the world and others will present themselves

Just got in from fish and chips in Margate.

Well the second to last bid was £126.50 so I put in £133.50 and bid with 2 seconds to go and still lost to a final bid of £136. Its a shame but as @mikeymustard said another one will be along soon. I live to fight another day.

sounds like someone had already pre-bid (or sniped) way more than you would be prepared to pay

I prefer buy it now prices. It might not be the cheapest option but it is less stressful !

I'm not sure how the ebay bidding works because there was in the last milli second a chance to bid £139 but the time ran out?

I like the buy it now way too.
