Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

[DCLane]

The Mercian looks nice. I've no space though either.

Both too small for me, but definitely look like bargains.
If you end up being tempted, I could probably collect and store for you, even if I have to talk nicely to my neighbour about his underused new shed!

Thanks for the offer

 

[Jameshow]

Thanks too...!🤣

Not retro or old but looks like a good deal in York to me https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/610643947829904/?ref=facebook_story_share

The sum total of the groupsets and other components are worth more than the asking prices.

@Paulus - that seems to be the case at the moment. The Peugeot Optimum I sold last week would have fetched far more parted out, possible 2-3 times the sale price, but I felt I couldn't as it was complete.

Prices are low and look to be staying low due to post-Covid over-supply, financial constraints and wider issues. So it's not worth even buying and storing*.

* Edit the above: I did just that on Friday, by buying a vintage bike cheaply.

hmmm... i don't think he'll get £150 for it. Maybe £85

Which is probably why it keeps being re-listed.
