Cheap houses. Cheap insurance. No silly 50 limits. Hardly any speed cameras. What's not to like?!?!
Sorry to go off topic OP but yeah!Just seen a 6 bedroomed detached house in Ingoldsby for the same rent as my tiny one bedroomed flat with no balcony in SW London. With cheap insurance as well, I could stop working

That Stamford/Melton/Oakham/Bourne area is very nice indeed. Pretty lovely rides all around there. Nice cycling too. I'm about 20 miles further north than that.
London is about an hour from Grantham on the train if that helps

Maybe your ad is terrible?
I won't contact a buyer if any info is missing or even for trivial stuff like having pictures of half the bike.
its in the classifieds if you want to cast a (constructive) critical eye on it. blue 636 £2800, have a nosey...I won't contact a buyer if any info is missing or even for trivial stuff like having pictures of half the bike.

See the last time I sold a bike on eBay. I think it helps to go to somewhere leafy and crouch down while taking pictures. Probably seems minor but could help.

Good job that you could stop working too, as you wouldn't find a job round that part of the world! Unless things have changed in the past 10 years, that whole area (Peterborugh, South Lincs and Grantham area) has nothing going on unless you like working on the land. I moved away from Peterborough in 2007 due to feck all jobs, companies closing down all over the shop, and before that I spent many a year of my youth in the Spilsby area and grew up in a little village in the arse end of nowhere (Little Bytham for anyone interested) and there's even less there! Got family who still live in Bourne and it's a nice town but there's nothing there job wise. Would not choose to move there unless I needed no money at all, and even then there are much nicer places.Just seen a 6 bedroomed detached house in Ingoldsby for the same rent as my tiny one bedroomed flat with no balcony in SW London.

Oh and from the bottom of the Wolds to Peterborough it's flat as a pancake, not a hill in sight for miles around.
Anyway, back on topic!
been on hol for a week so havent got round to relisting it. some fella saw it on gumtree and emailed me. seemed promising, but then started messing about needing to bring his friend who couldnt come with him until 6 days later and could i ride it to somewhere to meet them etc. when i mentioned that wasnt possible it went a bit quiet at his end... so tonight its going up for auction on ebay... along with 2 other vehicles that need shifting
I tend to flick through the Ebay 'completed listings' search results to find out what somethings worth. Much better as it actually gives you an idea of what auctions have been finishing at, what the bidding gets up to is what people are prepared to pay and can quite often be different to what asking prices on adverts are.
