Is this a bargain ?

[taximan]

I know that stuff is in short supply but I doubt I will be buying anytime soon

The 886 sold link intrigued me. Here's the most recent sales history.

I know we're in inflationary times, but a 26-fold increase is a bit steep

Typos notwithstanding, the actual price jumped from £24.99 in July 2021 to £37.99 a month later, which is a 52% increase in a month

Regular sellers usually whack the price up when they have no stock - saves them the work of re-listing the item, so they just change the price when stock is available, Nobody would be stupid enough to pay that !

It's ok unless you click the button and buy it.
Then the seller nips down to halfrauds and pops one in the post...
Kerching....

That's what get if advertising stuff on eBay with fat fingers and a small phone.

 

[chris-suffolk]

Other sellers have them for £27.99 elsewhere on flea-bay

Those freewheels always looked purposely designed to annoy people on entry level bikes. I'm sure a smaller 28T to 34T jump would be possible without such a massive jump in cadence. I mean 24T to 34T is quite a jump. Something like 14, 16, 18, 22, 24, 28 and then 34T. It's like because its black the other cogs are keeping their distance or something.

I have some 105 5800 shifters I heard these are hard to come by, maybe I need to list them again lol
