Should report the brat for this. What a blatant theft ad! Nice bike though!

nmt

Bought for me at a boot sale yeah right. One hot bike that is

jotko

Seems legit.

Grill

Definitely stolen. Colour scheme is absolute pants though.

goonz

Now the title has changed to scott aerodynamic science! wtf!!!?

Who the feck buys a bike like that a car boot sale? I need to be getting down to that sale!!!

jonny_trousers

Don't get how he has 100% feedback, as within two, short, iPhone sized pages I saw 3 negatives and a neutral.

pastey_boy

Price has just rocketed up to £4200 !!!!!

pastey_boy

And he has the wrong spec list.

goonz

Dude doesnt have a clue what he is doing...

goonz

Grill is that a Foil 20? This may be the bike I will buy when I get enough money together to buy my dream bike.

Wirral_paul

Its a Scott Foil 15 by the looks of it. He's even priced it way above the RRP!!

People buy and sell ANY items on ebay to make profits, this doesn't make them thieves. I can't imagine someone with 400+ feedback risking a knocked off bike unless he bought it for a fiver.

Let's be honest, chaps, I have been riding bikes for over 40 years, I could only guess the price is over £2000 because of the electronics and carbon frame. I wouldn't have a clue as it's full price. Just watch a few episodes of Antiques roadshow and try and guess the price of an item!

Not saying that he has stole it but it looks like the person he got it off may have.

Yes but this is not an obscure antique this is a popular mass produced bike that could be found online with a few clicks of the mouse. Not even knowing the price or a rough ball park sends alarm bells, plus wtf is the title of the listing???

Yes I know shouldnt be quick to judge etc, but people will give positive feedback on the product and service, not whether the item was stolen or not, if most people are getting a good deal they will be happy, feedback means nothing in this case imo.

Come on :roll:
Someone "buys you" a new bike worth a few grand on a "car boot sale" and you casually sell it for £3000 just like that without even making an effort to list it properly?
Stolen bikes have typically very few details included in the listings so they are more difficult to trace by the owner.

Who would rock up at a car boot sale with a couple of grand in their pocket on the off-chance that there would be a tasty push-bike sat there? If it cast any less then anyone reasonably 'in the know' would suspect it was stolen and not touch it.

Grill

Yup it's a 15 although he's now posted the specs of a Premium. He may not be the one who stole it, but there's no way it's legit an the seller is still a grade-A tool.

riding bikes for 40+ years has nothing to do with knowing if a bikes stolen or not. if you said you was a police officer for 40+ years then that would have been worth it.

Something isn't right with this sale, Firs he changes title, then he lists it with wrong components and then the his pricing changes.

It sounds to me like someone has robbed it and gone to a friend and made him list with not knowing it stolen or someone could have just bought an account with good feedback history off someone and now looking to con someone out of hard earned cash.

if the bikes stolen and this is the users account to then hes one dumb criminal because likely hood is, is that someone will report this.

I would just say cash on collection see what he says.

After my run in on Ebay recently (still NOT resolved ) some a5sehole buyers on Ebay as well...

the negative/neutral fb is more than 12 months old, so doesn't affect your rating.

Feedback scores only apply to the last 12 months and that account is intermittent; the three negs are all past statute of limitations.....

If you are interested in that bike, why not save on the postage and buy the Omega Seamaster he is also listing as well?

Hi this is a omega watch seamaster it was bought for me I have cartier . omega not my taste no papers. Will be boxed and recorded delivered so if any questions please ask before biding ......

Anyone want to bide?

That bike's hotter than the sun. Does anyone live nearby who can report it to the Bromley area coppers?

goonz

Its so hot im burning typing this!

de_sisti

I was just as shocked at his spelling! :shock:

His recent buyer feedback looks odd too. Lots of feedback messages with identical text from different sellers. Smells like some controlled scam to increase feedback and star scores between a small group controlling a number of accounts:


Thank you for an easy, pleasant transaction. Excellent buyer. A++++++. tiddle75
Thank you for an easy, pleasant transaction. Excellent buyer. A++++++. smartskins
Thank you for an easy, pleasant transaction. Excellent buyer. A++++++. jshah2007
Thank you for an easy, pleasant transaction. Excellent buyer. A++++++. babz
Thank you for an easy, pleasant transaction. Excellent buyer. A++++++. eshopic

and on and on...

I've reported it to Bromley police online.
