Definitely not that nasty American Budweiser which is like having sex in a canoe

I can remember what a canoe is............

Isn't it a sad reflection of society when ones first thought is " perhaps its stolen!"
Thinking as an eBay seller... among other things, I have sold 3 bikes on eBay all for top money, one got me just short of £600 and I started them all at £0.99. So I ask myself, how would I feel if someone suggested I had stolen them!
Well, as I am not nor ever have been a thief, I would be pretty pissed to say the least.
Oh, and I drink Whiskey, but I suppose I am too far away to take advantage...

Did your ones have batteries, keys and a history?

 

[Gubbins]

I bought them all new, but that wasn't my point.. It just seems like we are all (myself included) so ready to accuse...

Curses, I've had a reply! I shall let you be the judge of it:

"Dear Willber G,

I'm afraid you'll have to share these, it's all they have...

Sounds like he may well buy bikes from police auctions & sell them on; in which case they are most likely stolen/recovered & never reclaimed by owners who've had an insurance payout.

So as I predicted as a possibility in this post, he was buying to resell. I always thought that more likely, since those who steal are not usually so stupid as to openly advertise their loot.

Yes indeed, that is one plausible explanation.

I agree. There's still lots of other possible explanations either way. It still sounds suspicious to me. If he was a bike trader, how come he hasn't sold any before? It still doesn't add up to me.

But still worth bringing it to attention as you've done John, since whoever originally stole an e-bike, a stolen one remains an inadvisable purchase.

You have to start somewhere.
