How to buy a bike on eBay

[brand]

I would like to stamp out all bike theft (along with all other theft) so I don't want to be part of the chain of stolen bikes / provide demand and a market for thieves. So yes, if I were buying a used bike from ebay I would want to satisfy myself that the good were not pinched

I was assuming you were being sarcastic reference another thread... AS no doubt you were!

All good ideas but I would add try spelling the item wrong - it can throw up some good finds if the seller is careless and/or can't be bothered to check the listing. It does happen.

Yes, this happens a lot. I bought a mint steel Dawes Horizon for £99 as the only bidder. It had a header title of "Bicycle".

I always bid myself as that provides the "fun" part for me.

Feb is the best time IMO, people start off trying to lose weight on Jan 1st and have given up my the end of the month.

I just grabbed this Junior Road bike for my son. I've been watching this type of bike for weeks and suddenly a buy it now for £40. I know it needs a bit of TLC but it will be perfect for my 8 yr old.

They usually go for £70 +
