Not sure if this is the right place to post this or not but.. I came across this earlier on eBay, I only came across it by accident as it’s really badly listed, it’s a brand new Bosch CX powered reasonably equipped mtb with the 500w battery, and if you won it at the current bid price of £799 it wouldn’t be much more than the price of the battery on its own, it has 8 hours to go and no bids so far..

Very tempting, but how are you going to get the motor replaced under warranty when the bearings go after 350 miles, like Doomanic's

I thought that too but it’s pick up only, what could they gain?
he hopes he can get near the asking price which is £1,399.

The bike has a' buy me now ' price, the start bid is to get bidders started and will not sell at a low price as the reserve won't be met.

Only if a bid is registered, at the mo there isn't a bid just a start price.

Fare enough, looks like you may be correct.
In that case then with a buy me now price he ain't going to let it go cheaply, unless it gets near the buy me now he will probably pull the plug.

you should of bid 700 and then sold it on here for £1000 ;)

i bought my bike of ebay but the seller ended the auction and with 160 miles on it lost 2K from the rrp at the time and a 350 quid dropper post for free ;)

Same here found mine on eBay bid from £995, 7 months old with 270 miles on it, and with extras, asked him him what he wanted and he said £1000, so he ended the auction and I bought it, he even met me half way for pick up (he was in Manchester I’m in West Mids).

I have sold a few of my bikes on ebay, and like SW says the best option is 99p start, no BIN, and no reserve and I was inundated with offers to take it off of sale. I responded to these requests by asking them to make a sensible offer, playing one against another to get my prefered price, but, before cancelling the sale I insisted on a small paypal deposit which gave me their address/paypal details and excluded timewasters, and in every case it all ended with big smiles all round. My plan was to pull it if the bids didnt get high enough, but eBay is getting wise to this and were taliking about adding a fee for some cancelled sales..
