Title: Is this for real?
Post by: grumpyhaggis on August 08, 2006, 02:26:00 PM

I've been browsing eBay for Rohloff (Idle moments) and have come across this seller:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-05-Merlin-Roots-Titanium-Rohloff-14-Disc-6500-List_W0QQitemZ270016379646QQihZ017QQcategoryZ53666QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I checked out his completed auctions and these bikes are selling at the initial price (<£200).  Doe sthis mean the Chineses are copying the 500/14?

Any ideas?

Jim

BE VERY CARFULL

The guy 'selling' this bike has a reputation of 15 ALL FROM SELLERS AND ALL for $0.01 SALES.  In other words he has bought his reputation for the princely sum of $0.15.  Also note that the method of payment is not listed I bet the seller will ask for a 'wire transfer'.  

I seriously doubt there is a bike at all
