Is his expectation fair.

Looking in E bay and came across this

Now is it only me, but the line about he wants back what he paid for it, I m thinking it looks as if its been kept outside and left to go rusty and he thinks the next buyer should pay him what he paid for it.

He's missing the point of an auction, where the idea is you sell for the amount of money peeps are willing to pay rather than it's 'perceived' value.
  Avoid. The guys obviously an irksome clot.

a bit dearer, but I know someone who bought 3 ramps from this guy (rented a van and picked them all up together.

How is that a hydraulic bike lift? It is a lift operated by a hand pumped hydraulic car jack, leave this to rot in the bloke's garden where it has obviously been for the last 20 years and buy the real thing, much safer.

[chris.biker]

I believe the use of the car jack in these lifts is a genius design. The story I heard was that a group of designers set about producing a hydraulic motorcycle lifting bench, all was going well with the price until the hydraulics were  added at which point the price got silly. It was then stated how come the hydraulic are so expensive when you can by a hydraulic car jack for £15. At that off the wall moment the hydraulic system was done with a compact self contained £15 unit. I feel they are fit for purpose.

I like the idea of having one of these but would prefer the scissor type like this,

haven't got the room or the money at the moment though

Looking at prices new for something similar I wouldn't think it's a bad price  http://www.kdbenches.co.uk/products/category/id/27

[locksmith]

But thats a starting price and he may well have a higher reserve on it, probably has judging by the tone of the advert!

[JZS 600]

I think we should all "watch" it on E bay to be evil!

[chaz]

looks home made to me? anyway I'm  put it on my WATCH list we could all start asking stupid questions?

Ask him what colour it is, that always annoys.  :evil

[pitternator]

defo looks home made, I know a skilled metalworker who made his own up too, its not that difficult if u have access to the equipment.I also have seen them I think in machine mart for around £300.
I would love one for sure.

[JZS 600]

Can you use it for painting the ceiling as well.

[DryRob]

"could I use this for inspecting the undercarriage of a horse?"

[chaz]

asked him if its suitable for a trike?            your  turn??????????????

[locksmith]

Does the bike wheel come with it?

[limax2]

Does the bike wheel come with it?

I believe the rest of the bike fell off when he took the wheel spindle out  :eek .

But thats a starting price and he may well have a higher reserve on it, probably has judging by the tone of the advert!

No reserve price, so highest bid gets it.

[richfzs]

unless fleabay has changed, you don't get to see of there's a reserve price until somebody bids on it??

[richfzs]

But, I don't think I could ever get desperate enough to trust my bikes to that rust ridden piece of crap!
