Default Ebay seller

Anyone had any dealings with these guys? They've got something I'd like, but Abergavenny's a little too far for me to collect.

Some Bike Breakers actually buy brand new Bikes and then break them!

I wodner how much you could get back if you broke a Conny SE with all the extras. A set good set of alloys + some Xenons + walnut steering wheel and gear knob and you are almost there with most of the car still intact.

Of course you need space and be able to get rid of what is left but I guess there is most likely money to be made breaking roadworth old models.

My car cost me £1500 2 years ago last january, standard Club se model, now with all the mods like walnut wheel, meteors, projectors, android stereo and every thing else in it, it's definitely worth more in bits

The sellers listings are a bit expensive,£12.50 for a non working VIS motor..Useless to the average guy on the street.

Anyway Mark,I'm intrigued,what are you buying?

I have dealt with the seller recently and he was ok with me. To avoid the recent postage hike from RM I paid in advance for a part which he had yet to remove from the car, he subsequently rejected the part on removal as he felt it was not up to scratch. Said he would not be happy to sell it and gave me a full refund without me having to ask.
