Might be legit, in which case no worries- seems odd that they know so little about it. If you've had one nicked, take a look?

18 I think you are right look at the questions he has been asked which are reasonable "see revised listing" is not a good answer and he does not want a home collect either

Alarm bells are ringing

Yes I love the "you can't collect" bit. Not as much as the "it's a bit specialist line".

Looks like it's at a postal depot or something in the picture. Maybe Cy has had one go awol on the way to a customer?

'no more questions please' who does he think he is. Anyone would have to have their head examining to bid on that.

Previous auction sounds like he might be some sort of debt collector/liquidator/loan shark selling items he doesn't understand.

Slight hijack, if anyone spots a black Maxlight with grey Bombers on the bay, please give me a heads up. Mine went walkabout yesterday

Daft suggestion but has anyone emailed Cy yet? I would expect he'd know if any had gone missing in transit.

I've said it before but I'm not convinced that emailing the seller achieves anything in this scenario. If they're a thief and they suddenly get lots of unusual enquiries (why would you need to know the frame number to find out more about a bike?) or jokey questions coming in, surely they're more likely to pull the auction and disappear.

Mr Agreeable

" Due to the lack of infomation about the roadrat please can I have the framenumber so I can check with cotic the frame details.

for the frame size perhaps they have had a few questions on ebay about the frame size and he does not know the answer

I already know about it - it was me that informed my dealers and 18 posted up. Nothing's gone missing from us AFAIK, and for it to be black it'd have to have been sitting brand new in a box since late April at least as we've only had the limited edition beverage colours in stock since then.
