Hi

 

The seller isn't doing himself any favours by his pictures of it. Main photograph is of it from the 'wrong' side - they never look as 'pretty' from that side and even worse without a battery and against a railing. You don't even know it comes with a battery until you read on... I know accuracy is important in sales BUT so is presentation. I know I've sold two Powabykes on ebay without any trouble when we changed over to Pro Connects and nothing beats a picture from the right angle in sunlight etc etc. The black duck tape repair on the chain guard doesn't help, and he draws attention to it in the blurb as well. Grey duck tape wouldn't have been so stark. Why not say in the blurb that 50cycles have replacement chainguards in stock at less than £15? Personally, selling a £800 bike I'd invest in a new guard before trying to sell.

without a revolution or a change of government nothing will change.

 

A recent radio poll for a motto for the English, as the French have Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite for example, came up with 'Mustn't Grumble'.

 

As we have seen here, so long as the person gets their bike back, many don't mind the theft. Maybe as compassion (apparently) defines the Scots, passivity defines the English?
