    Ideally a T100 Black but an SE would be okay I suppose.

    I have a max Budget of 5k for the right bike but will consider older models for less money. The one that recently went to Ireland would have been ideal!

    Cheers

    There's always a good selection in Auto Trader and on Ebay.

    I have a 2010 SE I'm prepping for sale soon. I'll be posting it in the for sale section here. 18k on the clock, quite a few nice mods (shocks, 2:1 exhaust, bars) reasonable condition, blue and white. Probably ask around £4k. Photos are in my gallery.

    Well I arranged with the courier to give me some dates and times; he said he needed all details first. I sent these and he then contacted the seller directly with some really silly collection times. The seller then got snotty and told me the deal was off!! Crazy situation haha; I paid for the HPI and also took out insurance with Bennett's so now have to pay for the month and an admin fee to cancel. I wasn't expecting this but things happen for a reason I suppose.

    Bad news that - maybe the seller had second thoughts over the price and used the courier as an excuse.

    see my thread about Man with Van, if you know someone with a van you could slip him a few quid for fuel and hopefully collect the bike at a suitable time for the seller

    Go for it mate; the numbers are on the advert -

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302270239946?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

    I just think he has been offered more. If someone could find out that would be great so I can move on.

    Dolwolfian Logistics mate; the seller said he offered collection just after midnight Wednesday or 1 - 3 am Thursday or 10am Friday. I did tell Dolwolfian Logistics that Thursday was needed.

    Yes I had no defence; I did apologise and explain that the courier should not have contacted him direct but too late now its done.

    Me thinks the seller may have read some of the earlier threads and got the hump thinking the 'cheeky cash offer' was actually taking the piss and he should be holding out for more.
    Got to be careful what you put on these forums, you never know who's gonna pick up on stuff.
