You do realise it's pick up and cash only in Yorkshire Kev. You don't want to be making that mistake again.

Kev, don't make promises you can't keep...you are just building our hopes up only to dash them again

May be of some use to someone.

Having looked at some images they could well be -

In this open and free market I decided to contact the seller about the wheels. I gave him my number and he called me back. Turns out he lives just along the road from my in-laws (probably 200 meters)
I was meant to be going to see them today but its the anniversary of the day I met the Mrs so we are going out for the day instead.

Going to the in-laws tomorrow for Sunday lunch so if the wheels are not bent or buckled a deal will be getting done.

In this open and free market I also contacted the seller when they were first listed to enquire where they were advertised elsewhere as indicated in the description so I could buy them or could he just give me the price advertised so I can buy them, I got a reply saying they aren't advertised but wants a fair price for them and if he gets no interest then he'll put them in MCN later. So I asked how much he wanted for them and have him a number to ring. Never heard nothing till today to tell me he is doing a deal with someone local. All I can say is good luck with it jazz and hope they are good but why does eBay make some things so complicated and the people so random to the point it frustrating where is one thing one minute and different the next.. and perfectly acceptable to kind of screw people over?

[agentpineapple]

a lot of people now use ebay as a starting point, then they're happy to do a deal outside of ebay, so if someone offers decent and is happy to collect in person, the seller is happy to do a deal and avoid the 10% ebay final sale fee and the paypal fee's. its just the way it goes these days.
sellers often say an item is advertised else where as they believe this gives them the right to cancel an auction whenever they please and again to avoid fee's.

Got up early this morning and took a run down to the in-laws. Dropped the Mrs off and went to see a man about a dog.

25 minutes later after a chat about bikes and stuff with a fellow like minded biker I returned with these.



They are straight and true and in very good condition (even if they are orange)

I'm a happy man. Don't think I'll be shopping again for a week or two.
