"Camp Freddy, everyone in the world is bent"

This is the second time I've contacted a seller on a popular internet auction site to enquire about bikes for sale.

A GT Transeo Disc 1.0 and Giant XR2 to be precise.

Each time the bike was advertised with a library picture.
Each time I heard nothing back from the seller once I'd asked if they were in possession of a receipt from the point of sale.

Is there anywhere on the internet where one can buy a 2nd hand bike with a reasonable chance of avoiding receiving stolen goods?

Cheers

I wouldn't say I'm after a bargain as such, more that I'm happy to save a few bob on a "previously cherished" bike, just as I would on a car rather than paying list price and losing a packet as soon as it rolled out of the shop.

Then again I wouldn't buy a car on a popular internet auction site either.....

I suspect the sale section of Wiggle/Evans/Chain Reactions may be my best bet however I've had a good look on Bike Radar and that seems like an excellent website, thanks for the suggestion.
