Not a bad business model really!

It does have a unique spec though and it’s only 5.75lb!

Haha. Loads of modifications apparently. Or a lazy web team perchance!

Looks nice. Circa £2.2k I'd guess. I wonder where 'Trowbridge ' is. Sounds northern.

no chance, it's not one of ours that, it'll be down your end somewhere, it's one of them 'counties' or whatever they're called

Why would anyone stipulate PayPal only on a collection only item.... does he like paying PayPal fees?

Does he like being scammed?

Without tracked delivery, the buyer can say he never got it and get a refund.

dbphoto · October 2019

Surely he means to say bank transfer only!?

I think it probably looks very similar to the one I bought from Peach, and sold for a £1 profit, but he would be better off uploading new photos without any filters applied because it sure as hell won’t look quite like that in real life.

tomajoha · October 2019

Yeah I thought it was filtered to death and no pictures anywhere near any of the known (and discussed to death) QC issues on some of this run

If it was a Peach one as he says then it should be one of the better ones. No pic of the serial number though.

terada · October 2019

I can confirm I have neither owned or played that one

Just checking it's not you who bought it.

tony99 · October 2019

stands at £1950 now

do I hear two....

thousand..

pounds?

Ossyrocks · October 2019

It’s got one of the better tops on it. If this goes for £2.2k it will be a bargain for whoever buys it.

No mention of the weight though. Being from Peach It could be a really light one.

Modellista · October 2019

Whats the weirdness going on in the picture with the toggle switch? Loads of scratches and a gap between the binding and the top?

tony99 · October 2019

only half an hour to go kids, come on, someone on here must want a taste of the sweet sweet peachy gibbo action

johnl · October 2019

£2250? I was reliably informed that R8s were going to be £1500 second hand from now on....

Keep up.

We said that would be the case "for a while" - it's been what, 14 months now? Market has stabilised. At least one did indeed go for almost that low at the time.

Anyway, who ends an auction on a Friday morning? Not clever... probably would have gotten more if it ended tonight at worst...

Whitecat · October 2019

Hammer at £2300... to an account with reasonable feedback, so at least he's probably not gonna get scammed, unless the account was hijacked...

Back to where they were before the blowout then.

Pickup only, auction ending Friday morning. I don't think the seller has done themselves any favours tbh. £2.3k is respectable considering

I think that's about what I got selling on consigment in a shop a couple of years ago. That was for an older 2010 one with the "truss rod condom" that isn't quite as desirable.

If it's possible to get £2.3k from Ebay on a pickup only auction, it would probably be possible to get £2.6k in a shop, which is more than people were paying new last year.

Howdy, Stranger!
