Hi flyingosca,
well, no real conciliation, but I'm also an eBay 'been had' person! Doh! Basically a friend sent the link and said it had only a few minutes to go, why not bid on it? By the pics it looks okay, and the right up looked sort of alright. I bought a bike from eBay...
Anyway, when I went to pick it up in Oxford I went "OH my god its a dog!"
Broken down on me about 4 times already in under 200 miles! I've tried to go to Mudeford twice but both times the dog has conked out on the way home. Both times in Ringwood....
oh dear...
eBay is a No No for bikes if you ask me. However, having said that, I know someone who has got two diamond bargain gems of a bikes (Dukati and a Suzuki) so he raves about the bargains. Just, I'd say, don't pay for the bike until you have seen it!!!
