Went for 23 quid, about right. Our work here is done![/quote]
I bid on and paid for this fork.Bid at the last moment and paid straight away. I await with interest to see if they arrive.
I also saw them on ebay twice prior to bidding. I had a price in my mind and did not bid the first two times, because I didn't think they were worth the price they had reached. When I saw them re-listed, I asked the seller "had this fork been previously listed and if so, why?" The response was,
"Yes it has, they sold for £40 and person didn't want them. Then the last buyer didn't read the postage note in the description."
As an aside, I have posted frame and fork together for a little of half of the cost the postage on these forks, but that is my choice.
As a second aside, I would have preferred to have purchased the fork from someone on Retrobike, simply because any description on here, I believe would have been as honest as it was possible to be, because this is a small community where name is important and with any luck you may come across the other person in your riding/dealings. Ebay does not have that intimacy. The description of the condition was limited, which may be from ignorance or duplicity. Either way, I am happy for the total price, £38, if the fork is only for parts. I am very happy if they are salvageable, because when all is said and done, this period of Marzocchi forks really are very effective and a joy to maintain.
