Blue headsets , diacompe hinged clamp , kashi , amongst other things are good parts and fetch decent money , Worth £350 , i say.....

Yep, I often smell a rat with 2nd chance offers unless I know who the seller is

I've just had one with a Tuf Neck bolt kit and was being outbid by the same US member with a very low feedback score so I gave up in the end

Within ten minutes of the auction ending I got mail to say . . . "CONGRATULATIONS" . . . yeah right !!!

Good luck BTW jj46. . . I hope your deal pulls off . . . not all eBayers are mean sellers :daumenhoch:

Post by: phantom photon on October 09, 2006, 12:32 AM: Yeah as above, just make sure the second chance offer is through ebay from the actual seller and not direct to your email account.
I'd only want to pay the £325 also :daumenhoch:

Post by: Del on October 09, 2006, 03:24 PM: I wouldn't budge from the £325, tell him that's the deal or go re-list it... its a good price but I hate people who bump prices up... why dont they just stick a reserve on it ffs.
Title: Re: Haro Master 85 - What would you pay?
Post by: phantom photon on October 09, 2006, 05:52 PM: Looks like it was re-listed straight away with a buy-it-now of £375 and has gone already ::)
