I struck a deal via text messages from an ad on gumtree.  The lad gave me the address and it led me to a group of council tower blocks with a couple of houses at the side.  The addy was for one of the houses but as I approached the house, a group of lads shouted over for me to meet them in the foyer of the tower block opposite.  I went over and they passed me the bike.....which full on smelt like it had been in the loft with their weed factory.

As I wheeled it back to the car, I heard a couple of the lads mention "get the bike back". I got to the car.....grabbed a massive spanner and turned round to see the lads were walking back over to me, and then turned back around and ran the other way?  The bike was obviously nicked  >:(

This was the first bike I bought when I got back into bmx 3 years ago. Bought it off eBay for 250 quid.
Seller said he was in Manchester so I knew it would be quite close close for collection.......

......Turns out he lives on my mums street.  :shocked: !!!!!

What are the chance of that?

2 GTs from Switzerland via US ebay!

I once bought a bumper for a Mk1 escort from a guy in Stoke. I knocked on the door, he opened it, looked up and down the street then dragged me into the house. He couldn't get rid of me fast enough! Bit scary really  :idiot2:

Bought my old Puch super invader from a really rough estate in stockport.
The guys front lawn was bald and just compacted soil like a video clip from live aid, he had a scabby looking bull terrier on a bit of chain that looked like an anchor chain and the place absolutely reeked of weed. Proper shit hole!
Wasn't looking good until i met the buy who was alright and knew his stuff from bitd  :D
