Ebay Madness No. 2761

[jimo746]

Are you sitting comfortably? Good... then have a look at this for madness...

At least the postage rates are very reasonable

Have sent the seller a question regarding the packaging... will see what his response is

Hi there
I am very interested in you bag, as I am an avid collector of not only clear plastic bags, but also shimano packaging. I would like to ask a question relating to the bag itself and its label.

Would you say that the writing implemented on the label is either A) over 38.5mm tall, or B) written by a left handed writer?

I am only missing a Shimano XT FH-M730 plastic bag with over 38.5mm left handed writing from a complete collection, and from research, only 3 such bags were produced during the M730 Groupo production run, as Ian McStevenson was the only left handed employee of the packaging operations in the US with writing larger than average.... and he only worked in packaging on a wednesday afternoon for just 3 weeks before his left hand was tragically injured in a packaging inscription related incident that left him permanently unable to hold a marker pen again (however all other writing implement uses were left unaffected, thankfully)

Thanks for your help
Graham

Was going to post up a few Orange P7's that sold the other week as two went for over £400 and another for not far off. As soon as they finished ebay was flooded with similar P7's with mad bin's. The original 3 have all since been re-listed :roll:

1997 GT Tequesta looks in good nick, shame it's 185 quid overpriced.

This guy DOES KNOW he's selling a 15 year old bike I take it...

Boggle!

I'm no snob, but all the same, that appears on the rather insane side of ambitious.

Raleigh BSO-tivator wasn't worth £200 when new !

Oh and note the use of the word 'RARE', look in ANY cycle park and you find at least one.
