Hmm, interesting that the Roberts is no longer on the original Gumtree ad but it remained up for 3 days after I agreed to buy it.
I'm guessing the conversation went like this:
"Hi, I'm interested in the Roberts"
"Sorry, it's already sold"
"But I really want it, how about I offer you more than you asked?"
"Ok, how much?"
"£200"
"Done"
Poor form in my book, even more so given that I didn't have the opportunity to match the offer (which I wouldn't have done out of bloody minded principle).
Oh well, no point in crying over spilt bikes, hope for the buyer that the stuck seatpost comes out easily enough :twisted:
