I've been watching this for a little while, and was convinced the reserve was going to be something like £5k. But it only went for £3k......If only I hadn' been in bed, I could have bid on it. So frustrating:
You have to look at these things positively - so risky to buy unseen - "bit of a misfire mate" - ends up never been serviced has a cracked block hydraulicing seawater - horribly repaired gash is a 'low speed impact' -
Also useful to know they can go this cheap - helps with the bargaining for next time
very naughty selling for 3k and asking the guy for 4.5k due to his own mistake, perhaps the buyer went and viewed it after closing auction for 3 k and was quite pleased the seller really wanted 4.5k as it was a nice excuse to back out!!
Probably very strong and well built but i suspect it has had a hard life
