Tired explosif, dream pricing

[FluffyChicken]

Halfords bike means halfords owner?

Servicing means
emptying a can of gt85 on it once a year.

Upgrading means
making it a single speed because everything is worn out

No offence meant to all those decent hardworking halfords shoppers obvs

Sold and bought at Halfords is a Halfords bike, usually a partnership if they've not bought the name already. May even do exclusive specials.

Could be worse it could be a SportsDirect bike (like an Evans bike ;-))
One step up from an ASDA bike.

Ride maintenance meaning
quick spray of GT85 after a ride.

I paid less than that for an honest 91 Lava Dome,,
Take another £50 off and I might think about telling him it's still shite (apologies I may be am drunk)

Still might struggle, in my eyes it is frame only with a few parts thrown in.

Having said that, it could be well worth it if the (often dented) top tube is dent free, as it appears to be - I would want some drive side pictures though to be safe!

He's thrown in a few more compliments for potential new owners
" if you wish it delivered then arrange the collection at your own cost,given its a used item then the listing will be changed to 'spares and repairs' to avoid any headache on returns. Read my feedback I am honest and fair but with these types of items I don't want a 'nerd' return for a scratch under the crank"
Amazed someone using such hostile language can manage a couple hundred positive feedback

I just love it when people write, "no timewasters" in their ads. It puts me off every time but I would bet it does not put off any "timewasters".

 

[bikeworkshop]

The message is simply passive-aggressive.
I'm not sure what purpose it achieves-
if I was a timewaster, I'd be straight round, kicking tyres, squeezing brakes levers, tutting about chips and scratches, asking if he saw the match at the weekend

Now down to £149, with more moaning from seller!

I love it when sellers get arsey about their stuff not selling. There has been a Seracen LSL for sale on Gumtree locally for the past year. It started off at £600 and stayed at that price for months with the seller telling everyone how brilliant the bike was and what a bargain and he could not understand why nobody was interested. He then finally got the message and started dropping the price but he has kept on riding it and slowly it is clear that it is starting to fall apart, the last ad I saw about a week ago it was now being offered at £350 with a broken shifter!

"Too many watchers at £199.99 and nobody with £200"

I'm a watcher
I have £200
Should I tell him?
