Where are they getting these prices?!

Post by StormyRob »

Have seen quite a few ads recently where the asking price for a storm has been a little ridiculous. This one for example today

https://www.donedeal.co.uk/motorbikes-f ... m/17619449

Just down the road from me really. Priced in Euro but that is still 3115 quid! I just cannot understand how they are pricing these bikes. I think it would be incredibly hard to get 3k for ANY storm even on a really good day. This lad is a dreamer with his 30k plus non mint storm

The wife said "sell that thing". So in the classifieds it goes for a price. "Yes dear, I have listed for sale, but no one wants it".

I don't think the fella is selling for his wife but that is definitely a possibility. Kev may be on to it. Blue ones are so much more attractive!

I stupidly commented on his facebook post saying he was dreaming. Should have stayed quiet as I would not want it done to me but done now 😂
