I would call the police but they may as for proof
Re:
Well all his ads are now down, gave him a cheeky call, put on a voice and apparently he only has bikes...."When he get's them in"
I now know I should of played the whole thing down and said I'd meet up and buy the bike, the seller sounds like he's an older male 50's and I suppose he can plead ignorance about the bikes origins and give a false name etc.
The sellers claims the bike, "Is mine and got it from a flat on M**** St" so all that remains now is to see if the police can sort it all out.
And unless he originally stole the bike 2011 and moved out of town......... :?: It was fun while it lasted.

Hope you get it back! It will all be down to the police and how available or determined they are...
It can work though. I found my Klein for sale on eBay after being stolen 12 years ago. Difference was I didn't contact the seller directly and let the police take care of it. Was a lovely day when I collected it from the station I can tell you.
Best of luck.
