Re:
I see your point, but eBay is a bit of a gamble and free-for-all. It's not really policed either when you're on the receiving end.
I've had enough bad behaviour from sellers who've done deals outside eBay (the latest one I'd BIN'd and paid, then they reneged on the deal - it was a bargain, but not cheap as such and definitely no listing error).
I've read the advert for this Roberts and the seller speaks of a low price, bargain etc... I'd have assumed that that was just their valuation after owning something for 25 years.
I've picked up really nice bikes (including 2 Roberts) for £100 and in these cases the sellers were perfectly happy with the price.
If it was a BIN for £9.99 or something, that's a bit different!
