Well for a start they are listed as MINT. Then in the listing as 'Great Condition', with 'a few scuffs'! So not mint then, unless Marz made them with scuffs as part of the design? 🙄

So obviously an uneducated scrote who knows not the meaning of mint.

They're about as mint as a Banana....
Not to mention the anodising on the Stanchions is wearing quite a bit too.

"bar for wheel " yeah could well be stolen, that's the main issue here. who knows enough to assemble a bike but not what an axle is? methinks this is someone who has only disassembled bikes 😉 caveat emptor.

If you look at the other items does seem like a bike breaker?

yes?
i like the wheel "which has still git nobbles onit its that new"
😯 ... 😕 ... 😆
this really is great.

stolen or not, i wouldn't ever buy from someone that big an idiot. will he be able to pack things properly? will you receive a brick, or a banana? might the wheel contains a bar of chocolate? who knows, who wants to find out.

Ebay really is a fantastic device to advertise and sell stolen goods to the entire country - its an outrageous

When i was young, you used to have to go to a dodgy pub to pick up a knocked of TV for £20 - they were never delivered to your door!

Surely, it must be common knowledge amongst the public, the authorities and Ebay that loads of knocked of stuff is sold here - so why on earth aren't they trying to stamp it out?

Yes, I know i'm living in my little bubble world thinking that the authorities might actually care - but at least if the general (and law abiding) public were made aware than stuff was stolen, then they might avoid ebay like the plague, thus reducing the market, thus reducing the thefts?

How can it be fixed???

Rant over! 😀

Because eBay make tons and tons of money out of dodgy sales?

I once had an issue with eBay and tried serving them with some legal documents. Good luck finding a UK legal address for them! It seems eBay are pretty untouchable under UK laws.

Some of their best sellers (PowerSellers), and therefore their best revenue earners, are those selling counterfeit goods!
