Trek 8500 year 2000 high spec xtr xt marzocchi

[Kindz]

Trek 8500 LT

Frame size is 15.5" size small

Year 2000

Plenty of pictures on eBay item number 321658487568

Very nice, high spec retro lightweight mountain bike

I bought if from A guy ( the original owner who bought it new for almost £2000) who had had it hung up in his garage for the last 13 years

It is in totally original condition, even has the original handlebar grips and tyres, the front tyre still has some of the knobbles on that's how little use the bike has had

It has just been serviced, bb and headset stripped and re greaced, new gear cables and new brake pads fitted, brakes bled, and the fork oil replaced

It does have some marks as to be expected especially due to age, and from storage, it's actually in better condition than my 2 year old bike

There is a small tear on the back of the saddle and some slight corrosion to the brake levers both visible in the pics

Cash on collection preferred
But I can send via a courier at the buyers expense, I will get a quote

Why would I pay more here using PP gift plus 5% than directly through Ebay and have Ebay and PP protection?

ps no way on earth would I use gift to pay a total stranger.

Re:

It's on here for less than its on eBay for and the price is Ono

I understand that people would be wary of sending a gift payment to a stranger which is why I am happy to take paypal for goods/service +5% to cover the fee (if it sells for the full asking price then I will pay the fee) OR Paypal gift, not gift +5% as there won't be a fee you fool

I have almost 1000 feedback on eBay and have taken gift payment for items sold out of eBay 100s of times, I'm certainly not out to steal peoples money

 

[Dickyboy]

Quick maths lesson, £575 plus 5% = £603.75, calling Fagin a fool may have been a little rash?

Re:

Well the fee is actually 3.4% + 20p so would work out at around the same price, and as said the price is Ono as I don't know how much it's worth

I would much rather sell to someone on here for less rather than sell on eBay and give them 10%
