They SX200`s are fetching good money again!

Postby Steve Holloway » Sat Jun 28, 2014 7:17 pm

SX200 on ebay, 18 bids so far with 24hrs to go and it`s already on £8200!

Somebody give Clive a call and give him the good news!

I like red vehicles, but that is a bit too much of one colour on a scoot for me!

Very nice tho, but for that money I'd want a proper genuine SX200 kickstart!

Just my opinion of course!

Sold!!

For £8400, with 19 bids!

But strangely the same scooter is re-listed today with Buy It Now for £4200!

Half price sale!

Maybe a bit of 'bidding up' was going on!

Or its another case of a scammer using a previous ebay sale to replicate the pictures and details as part of a con. I'd never attempt to buy anything of that magnitude from an ebay seller with zero feedback. I guess the answer would be to ask to view the scooter - it does say 'must be seen' after all, but location is UK - possibly outer Hebrides?
Anyway, SX or not it still looks like a flying tomato.
So there.

Yep - think you are right about a scammer Nick!

The guy registered as a new user on the 4th July (yesterday) with zero feedback, and has 'newly listed' 183 items, all at crazy buy it now prices!

Including a Chevy Bel Air for £5700, these usually go for around 25k (if you're lucky!) to 50K, and a '71 soft top E type for 15K - these usually are around 45K to 100K! All with photos I've seen previously on bona fide Ebay sales at the correct much higher price!

Quick, grab yourself a bargain before they're all gone!

Looks like Ebay have sussed him out!

The ad and the guy have been pulled!

Now gone from being a 'buy it now' to Classified Ad. Not clear why the 'seller' has done that.
Might email the seller and ask if I can come and have a look - just to see what reaction I get.

Messaged the seller asking if I could come and see the SX, but strangely no reply as yet.
Probably sold it.
Several times.
