It's on Gumtree for £1200 or offers.

Thats a bit odd is it not?
In the region of £2000 for us on the forum or £1200 on gumtree Thats a big difference.
One thing that is getting worse lately is the 'auctioning' or offers for bikes on the for sale sections despite the rules saying otherwise.
The time allowed before these are locked sometimes seems to be linked to a machines rarity or interest, such as the case in here.
Mods remove my comments as you see fit.
I'm just calling it as I see it.

You seem to have posted the add on Gumtree on the 28th of January for £1200 or offers, the same day you started this thread. You then post on here on the 30th that you want £2000 or offers. Then you say you originally wanted £2000 and now want £1200. Seem like you wanted £1200 all along but when people start saying how collectable these are you bump up the price. But you only put the higher price on here, not on Gumtree. Dont know what your intention was but this behaviour seems to be more than a little unethical and you have probably lost some potential sales and certainly a lot of help from the people on here.

If it was my Dad's Thanet Silverlight bought by him brand new in 1950......I wouldn't be wanting to sell it!
