Title: THORN STERLING on ebay
Post by: macspud on October 09, 2013, 08:10:58 PM

I'm sure this was listed a few months ago, obviously didn't sell, maybe the dent in the top tube being off putting:

Not mine.

Yes, its been on ebay before.Zero interest thus far. I suspect that is so because of its age, its brakes ( according to the very candid seller) and its location for pick-up only in central London ( congestion charge and sheer inconvenience!)

I'm not sure that being candid puts off bidders on ebay, sometimes it's the opposite. A friend listed his old Toyota hilux (pretty much a total wreck) on there a while back, he was brutally honest about how knackered it was, long, long list of what was broken and rusted. When I read the listing I thought it was a waste of his time and nobody would be interested. I couldn't believe the bidding, loads of interest and it went for a very good price. Sometimes brutal honesty seems to be a good selling tool, lol.
