Been for sale since October when I posted it and still no takers. I paid 1% of that price for my last one, which was in a similar condition. It'll be up there for years at this rate.

I can't really understand these people. Are they simply stupid, or is there a scam of sorts? It would be a lot of work if it was money laundering, unless they "sell" 20 or 30.

Probably a typo

Yes - it should have been £10.00 instead of £1,000.

My thought as well. Maybe £15 on a good day. But it's a cold and damp Tuesday in February, so £10.00 it is.

 

[roley poley]

the lack of using a decimal point rather than a comma has occurred too many times on this thread

It's not a typo, he really does want £1,000 for a £10 bike.

Deluded, obviously. What makes these people think that there might be somebody stupid enough to pay that amount for a low end, unloved bike?

I do wonder sometimes if they come with a kilo or two of drugs inside the frame

Are you sure? I think we should all asking him that question, just to make sure like.

EDIT: Dropped him a message and he's admitted it's an error - seems like quite a sound bloke tbh
