Off to The Brighton Big Dog Race .
Will give it some thought . Sorry to be a little direct, Its a legacy of Ebay and some of the 'mutton' thats listed on there .
Obviously I am not going to drive 250 mies to look at a frame in the flesh , so I would be taking a risk with more than a weeks take home pay .
There always has to be a degree of faith in any online transaction. Could you imagine the uproar if Ebay switched the focus on buyer / seller integrity by making the seller post the goods and then asking for payment, so the buyer had the goods, and thier money, Rather than the current situation where the vendor holds the goods , and until the item is posted , the buyers funds.
The advantage Ebay has is the Feedback system. Which has been supported on here by your riding friends who posted that the frame is in fact mint , and you are a genuine guy.
Sorry for any offence caused by my original post . Probably not the best way to open a converstion , especially an online one
