Is it just me or has eBay stopped us from looking at completed listings fully 😕

It's just you.

I get the option 'see original listing'.

I get that sometimes on one of my ebay accounts, but not the others. Click on a link to an ended item & I get a page with 'you missed out on that...here's something similar' or something along those lines.

It's a bit annoying.

On one hand, it's a lot of bike for very little money, but...

If you've lost the V5, surely you just apply for a new one. It happened to me once. iirc it was £18 and a two week wait and that was 20 years ago, I assume it's even easier now.

They may have mis-spelled 'VIN" as 'V5"

He sounds like a lazy shit,which would cause me to wonder if his laziness also manifested itself in bike care,or lack of it.

I was more concerned that the front brake master cylinder reservoir cap appears to be held on with a jubilee clip.

More likely to be a stainless cable tie...
