The lies of the bike buyer

[Yorick]

TBH I never had problems selling any of my bikes in the UK.
I usually traded them in for a new one, or they were so shagged, I was just glad to see them go

I advertised a bike for sale. Some bloke came to look at it yesterday. Lies he told while checking it out included:

- I thought it was a 2022 (it's clearly advertised as 2021)
- The next service will cost £600
- It hasn't got a quickshifter so isn't really worth having
- Loads of these were bought on cheap finance and that's come to an end so there's loads of them on sale for £1600(!), no one wants them
- There's a newer one on ebay with just !000 miles for £xxxx
- Round my way this would be stolen straight away, they'd just throw it in a van

ebay had given me his full name and address. He said he lived somewhere different too.

I'd told him what the price was but he kept coming out with this bullshit and offering me less. In the end I said he should go and have a think about it, just to get rid of him.

TBH I wouldn't let him back on the premises, let alone sell it to the dishonest south Yorkshire chawbacon, at any price.

I hope you have also doubled your security...

EDIT - I see it'll be someone else who needs the security now

Well this is a depressing thread. I wanted my new TMAX or X-ADV with a massive discount
