About two months ago I rebuilt a 2001 Orange Kona Lava Dome and advertised it on Gumtree for £150. Unusually for these times I found a buyer almost immediately who offered the full price for the bike.
I met him at the station, a lovely guy who was absolutely blown away by the bike on which I had lavished my care and attention over the last few days. It looked great and rode very well. He said he would be interested if I got any more bikes like this. I said I would let him know.
About a month later a very similar Lava Dome came into my possession soI contacted him. He thanked me but said he did not have the cash so would not be able to buy the bike. I then put the bike on eBay with a price of £200, not expecting to get that and indeed someone made an offer for £150 that I gladly accepted.
Today I was browsing eBay, like you do, not intending to buy anything, when an Orange Kona Lava Dome grabs my attention at only £85 BIN, collection only,10 miles from me.
I study the photos carefully and it is indeed the very same bike I'd sold two months previously!
What would you do?
