I've got an ebay auction for a bike part due to end tonight.

I've put it on at no reserve, and I've put that in the description.

I'm not sure how much it's worth in total, probably somewhere between £50-£100 I imagine.

So far it's on £10.50 + postage...

I'm not too bothered how much it goes for, more that it goes to someone who's going to use it. But it's interesting to see if the fact that there's no reserve may stimulate some last minute bidding.

It’s only worth what it sells for. 🙂

Very poor stealth ad - where's the link?

How many watchers? That's often a good indicator if you're likely to have a flurry of last minute sniping bids.

@onewheelgood it’s for a Cane Creek coil shock  and a spare spring if you want to search for it?

I'm watching.  Most excitement I've had on a Sunday night for yonks.  Good luck!

I thought it was not recommended to have auctions finishing on Sunday evening as there are less people browsing. <br />When I was looking for parts for restoring my Spitfire, most bargains were on Sunday ending auctions.

@FB-ATB - when’s the best time to have them finish then?

Haha very badly. £695 so less than the RRP on the shock alone, for an amazing frame. BUT ITS RED so I guess not as desired 🤷 Been on display for a while, and we wanted to freshen up the shop so some stuff has to go. And someone else got a total bargain so that's good, I hope it gets used and not just gone to an eBay bike flipper.

At least someone got a bargain.

"Hi, thanks for bidding on my shock and for the prompt payment. I've just gone to pack it up and found that it is leaking oil. I wouldn't want to sell it to you in that condition, so I have refunded your money and cancelled the sale. Thank you for your understanding.

Anna Sole"

Snipers! Doubled your money in the last few seconds.  Don't spend it all at once!
