Moderator Airhead Posted January 22, 2011 Moderator Posted January 22, 2011 I saw an advertisement for a 125 DTMX yesterday, I was looking for a bike for a forum member who wants a classic 125 trailie, I came across this and I thought very nice and underpriced. I rang the number and apparently it was sold yesterday. The asking price £650 http://www.adtrader.co.uk/motoring/motorcycles-and-mopeds/yamaha-dt-dt125-lc-125-lc-trail-res_5196020.html Today I see it is on ebay, only just listed and already 6 bids, in front of what he paid at £655 and 6 days left yet!!. If you see a bargain you really must act quickly before someone steals it for profit http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Yamaha-DT175MX-DT-175-/200568035922?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item2eb2c95a52
Moderator drewpy Posted January 22, 2011 Moderator Posted January 22, 2011 cheeky bar steward, can't really blame him for trying to make money in a recession.
Moderator Cynic Posted January 22, 2011 Moderator Posted January 22, 2011 I'd like to call him a lot of names but a mate of mine makes a pretty good living doing this. He has specific software that looks out for stuff like this. When he's on a roll he will have bought it, re listed it where it will make best price then has the person who originally listed it post it to the person that he has sold it to. So he never actually see's or touches it. Its annoying in one way, but in another i'm kind of envious. Although he is completely lacking in anything remotely resembling a concience.
Moderator Airhead Posted January 22, 2011 Author Moderator Posted January 22, 2011 cheeky bar steward, can't really blame him for trying to make money in a recession. Oh really!! so when the recession is over he just might not do this anymore I think not
Moderator drewpy Posted January 22, 2011 Moderator Posted January 22, 2011 Oh really!! so when the recession is over he just might not do this anymore I think not we live in a capitalist society, that's the way it is!
Moderator Airhead Posted January 22, 2011 Author Moderator Posted January 22, 2011 Yes indeed i'm not saying he has done anything wrong, just posted it a; for a bit of interest and b: as a case in point for someone looking for a rare bike I love this part of his ebay ad though " bought this on a a bit of a whim as I was told the owner (a guy in his 70s) had it sitting in his garage for 8 years and he was never going to ride it. It looked too good a opportunity to miss, but if I'm honest I'm never going to ride it either."
