Ok will put it back up shortly

Thanks, appreciated

Thanks from me too. I was just wondering are the rectangular batteries rear-mounted, or more a rectangular bottle-variety, and what brand of cells they contain; and what kind of amperages and prices for 36v controllers and LCDs might you be able to arrange, please, including external and...

Thanks, tell you what, save your time for now and if I get any bother then I'll message you on here or something, that's most efficient I think. Probably nothing will happen anyway.

Haha fortunately English contract law is more sensitive to considerations of justice than that (part of its genius). It has among other things an overriding requirement, that both parties intend to create legal relations, intentions which Jerry here made us think "bad Jerry" didn't have ...

D'oh, I just realised if Jerry knew the pictures and description were his, then in theory he was selling it and potentially might not have it. So in principle the seller might have been authentic, despite lax approach to copyright issues re text and pics, and dodgy appearance engendered by zero...

Yeah I seem to be the lucky party in question lol. I phoned ebay and they promise me that if the other side lodges a claim against me I get to appeal and explain at that point why I'm not paying, I feel fairly reassured that they won't lodge a nonpayment strike. I've also done an actionfraud...

Jerry would be able to do me a favour please, just to help if I have to have dealings with ebay or the police, would you be able to do a photo or two of the bike with a newspaper or similar, dated within the last few days please? It's just that I think literally a photo says a thousand words...

Do you mean you think it could go higher? (:

No it's still there, there's still time to bag yourself a bargain!

Oh and an alternative is that we all pile in and bid the thing up to silly money, like £10k, and then whoever wins gets to ask him why he's got a photo of our pal's bike. That seems easier. That or arranges a meetup for cash handover with the boys in blue in attendance.

It's basically one guy... couldn't one of us use our cunning to arrange a meetup to hand over some very large (yet actually nonexistent) amount of cash... and arrange some help from the boys in blue? after all most scammers have a weakness - usually their greed. he says he's based in london...

Thanks. I'd wondered if that were possible. I've heard this phrase used (by scientists I think), that 'the plural of anecdote isn't data' as a way of pointing out a methodological fallacy, dismissing an individual story as statistically insignificant, but in fact a single anecdote is actually...

No actually rather the opposite of living a sheltered life. In the university in which I study, if one academic were to say to another in the same department, in front of other people, that they are writing nonsense, then it would be a serious insult to their honour and credentials, and be very...

Even if he's incorrect, why do you have to be rude about it?

It's frustrating that the police haven't got their act together re electronic crime - someone at my university reported some racist hate speech made on Twitter and the police actually sent a squad car to their house to get a screenprint (!) So until they do I think just filing an...

This might be of interest , even if it just helps you write the right kind of straightforward 'pre-pre-' or just pre-action letter to focus the other side's mind. I know it's annoying but a lot of disorganised or understaffed or just quite cynical businesses, like consumers, annoyingly just use...

Could also try wrapping it in a layer of paper other thin substance, although don't blame me please if the thing can never be removed :-)
