Nice Rockhopper!...

I just messaged him as I'm just in the right mood for it:

Hi there
Please don't take this the wrong way but you do know that this bike is clearly not worth £2000.
Can I suggest that you do a little research before attaching an unrealistic price to this bike.
I'd personally not pay any more than £150 for it. That being said I'm not trying to buy the bike from you at a lower price, I already have twelve retro mountain bikes in my stable.
Kind Regards

Hi,
Find me a 17 year old bike in as good original condition and I'll concede it's worth no more than £200.
I am hoping to keep the bike, hence the high buy it now price, but feel strangely guilty as it's so mint.
Thanks for your message and i appreciate your opinion. Regards

so to prove a point i did a search for retro rockhopper in sold listings and found the actual bike
