First time around; (02 July 2013 @ 22:28) this item fetched; £690.00 with 23 bids... (109 watchers 2.11am 01/07/13.) With 12 bidders... This time around; (13 July 2013 @ 23:14) this item fetched; £551.00 with 11 bids... (76 watchers yesterday morning.) But only 6 bidders.
Just for the interest of it; It sold; £139 down, (On the original auction winning bid.) this time around... What do the; Mystic Meg powers reckon this time? (Personally; I'm reckoning on seeing this one again.)

The crystal ball is staying a bit cloudy at the moment! I think it`s pretty hard to call at that price. the buyer probably had a bid last time round but wasn`t prepared to pay the price that Ralph from Nottingham bid it up to. I`m sorry to hear about his daughters` bad health and wish her all the best, but I dare say Ralph would have knocked it back when he saw it anyway as I think he was obviously expecting it to be a lot better than it is. I`d say the buyer might not be getting what they think they`re getting but it`s just about in the realms of being worth sorting if they are after a lateish 650 and don`t mind putting a bit of money and effort in to get it just how they want it. All that being said, I wont be at all surprised to see it again because of the issues we`ve already mentioned. I certainly wouldn`t pay that for it though, I`ve bought a lot of far better bikes for a lot less cash!!

I got it offered as a "second chance" offer.I bid a lot less than the £690 it sold for originally. I asked for some more pix and was one step from going to look at it,(not too far from me up in Lincs) Then it all went quiet. Next thing,its back on ebay. Daughter is doing fine tho.She,s home and been told to rest whilst she waits for a cariologist appointment. So....I,m back in the market for a clean bike RALPH.

I think if they offered it to you, and then went schtum when asked for more pics, it seems to be fitting in with all our guesses that it`s a bit of a dud. Possibly had a lucky escape there! Good luck finding a bike that `suits you sir` Oh, by the way Ralph, sorry for assuming you had more money than sense!

I had to satisfy my interest: - I really did reckon on seeing this bike being relisted for auction again...
However: - Under; 'Feedback left for others', is the comment: 'Top Class Fella Thank You'. The buyer has the same number of feedbacks as the; 'Anonymous name' bidder.
But: - Just as an aside; The feedback as is left for; 'MOJO4459' has a positive icon?

I thought the same as you, that there was a good chance of seeing it relisted. The anon buyer looks to be the `top class` feedback leaver as the dates match up. He mustn`t have been expecting too much from that bike, but like I said, at that price, and what most seem to go for on ebay, it was just about in the realms of being worth putting right. The feedback left for `MOJO` has got a positive icon but says `another ebayer time waster thanks`. For some reason, a while ago, ebay started to make it difficult to leave negative feedback. Don`t understand why as that kind of defeats the object of a feedback system wouldn`t you say?? Still time to see it relisted as an `abandoned project / breaking for spares though!!
