SOLD for the asking price. via eBay on one of those £2 max selling price deals.

And I sold the TEC pack too.

I can now put the DVO TOpaz T3 up for sale.

I was very tempted by this, it looks super clean, but I found a cube hybrid stereo 140 near me for £3k and I felt like the bit extra was worth it for the bosch gen 4 over an older shimano.
I've got to sell my old bike now but it is starting to get to that time of year where they struggle to sell.

I really hope you find a home for it - it looks very tidy and well looked after!

Hi @Zimmerframe, I considered an auction an rejected it. For an auction to work you need to be sure that there will be interest. I have searched on eBay for an item I am wanting to sell to see how others describe it, how many adds are there, how are they being sold, what asking price, what is the best title etc. One time I could not find anything like what I wanted to sell. So I went for a fixed price and just hoped that there was at least one person out there who was in need of the item. I sold it within 24 hours. I was lucky. Another item had to be listed 3 times before I found the one person that wanted it.
l have no difficulty in letting popular or low priced items go to auction and I have done very well (grips, bars, calipers etc). But a bike, especially an emtb is such a particular item and so expensive that I have to find that one person who wants what I'm selling. If I put it to auction with a reserve, I may pay a lot to eBay and not get what the bike is worth. With no reserve, worse case there are no serious bidders and the bike goes cheap. I would rather keep it than let it go dirt cheap. I made that mistake with my last bike.

I made the same mistake with a Santa cruse, I let it go for a steal. But eBay will charge you circa £250 for the pleasure of selling an ebike, if you don’t use one of their “sell for £2“ offers. One of the chaps on this forum sold his Decoy on Gum Tree, but you have to put up dick heads offering to pay in instalments. I’ve also fell for the scam where they say they’re coming out to see the bike, “what’s your address“ the ask. Then a no show, the number goes dark and I was broken into. selling bikes is a ball ache.

I bought mine from facebook marketplace
I hate facebook - deleted my account 6 years ago. But had to create an account to message this guy then delete it after I'd bought the bike lol

Ebay's fees are so stupid these days gumtree and facebook tend to be better, but you do get more time wasters
