Note to self, never sell anything to chopsticks!

I never get really great deals - I always procrastinate for a couple of days and miss out

What I hate is haggling after a deal has been done - ie wins bid on eBay then wants a discount ! Wtf? There are a couple of stereotypical accents I hate hearing on the phone when I'm selling a car

I got my 08 Sx Trail back in 2009 from Ebay. Barely ridden and its the nice one with the white/red/gold frame. Very lightly ridden with Ringle Hubs, Fox 36's and Chris King headset.

I got it for £900 and the closest I could find was £1500 at the time for a much poorer set up.
