Re:
The "sold" hoping people will contact him and then he tells them "it's provisionally sold but he will get back to you at £1,500 if the buyer pulls out and surprise surprise the original buyer has now puled out but you sir are now lucky new owner as you can buy it" routine?
Frames like this have a very small market and that market as we all know is incredibly switched on and active with a keen eye on new sales
If he'd spent as much time on being honest as he had on being deceptive then the frame would have a new home by now and he would have had a sale. I still suspect it maybe someone from here or at least someone who visits here regulary so has seen this thread and yet still continues to play silly buggers.
