I thought it might be handy to put together a bit of a glossary of ebay terminology for users so they know what ads REALLY mean - you know, like how "Artisan" means "Made in China but hand sprinkled with fairy dust by a failing art student in Manchester", but specific to bikes.
Here's the first few that spring to mind - any more suggestions?
1. JOB LOT
If I photographed each bike and tried to sell it for £2, nobody would buy it as you would see that they are all rusted to high heaven, missing half their bits and of no use to anybody. You can buy 10 of these for £60 - BARGAIN
2. BARGAIN
If it was, I wouldn't need to say it. I've said it, so it probably isn't
3. VINTAGE
Rusty old s**t but slightly better than in (1) so I dare sell this separately
4. L'EROICA
As (3) but with a non original Carlton sticker on it as if that makes it fancy
5. FIXIE PROJECT
I bought either (3) or (4) and realised it's a pile of junk but if I say "fixie" that adds £50 automatically, right?
