All his listings started today at £1.12

 

TDR250 started at £1.12, and now over £60k (within 11 hours)

 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/YAMAHA-TDR250...SwYjdgRiPP

 

 

They also have loads of other things with silly prices.

 

Their feedback history seems to show they don't normally sell these sort of items, and not in these numbers or for these prices.

Is someone doing some money laundering  ?

I was thinking about the TDR for £3300, went back for another look and saw it had rocketed.

:rotflmmfao: :rotflmmfao: :rotflmmfao: I bet you're right !   It's probably doing the rounds on car and bike club forums .....

 

 

I can't get my head around the massive change in items they have sold previously, or the fact they only sold 3 things in the past year and now a ten day splurge, as if they were a trader. All the vehicles are photographed in different locations which I thought was a bit weird.

its a scam, they steal photos off the internet and post on eBay.

 

I know a few who have seen their bikes on eBay being "sold" by someone else

"As I Lay Rubber down to street, I pray for traction I can keep. But if I skid and begin to slide, please dear god protect my ride"

Mods; Oil pressure switch, neoprene rear inner mudguard, scottoiler, highway pegs,  fenda extenda, 1999 carbs and airbox, Kais suspension setup, later clutch springs, LED lamps, Metmachex swingarm, Hagon Shock, Oxford heated grips, 4 way fused accessory Bus, 17" 3CV front wheel, Michellin R6 tyres, GPS speedo, 5' ignition advance.
