For some reason they have started the auction at an odd price, £23.80, but there is a reserve.

Reserves are pointless and just put off bidders. Anyway, people often place increasing bids until the reserve is met, then cancel the last one as they now know the reserve and can snipe it. eBay does nothing about it.

I agree. If there is a reserve price why not start the auction nearer to that price (or even AT that price)? Reserve prices are just aggravating.

I hadn't thought of that - Thanks @rogerzilla

I have put a bid in, I don’t live too far from Stockport. So am going for it.

Mid 70s Falcon with 21" 531 frame (maybe a Cote d'Azure or lower model San Remo) in great condition will be an absolute steal for someone.

Alas not for me since I'm looking for a modernisation project and this bike is worth keeping original. That and it'll cost me £180 to ship!!!!
