Please do not post negative remarks here on the post...PM me your thoughts....I'm just not sure about buying a bike from him if nobody knows them. He has a lot of great prewar gems!

Thanks

Mike is a member here-user name-prewarbikes4sale. I've bought a few bikes from Mike and it has always been a pleasant experience. Posted prices and selling prices are two different things. If you see something you like it never hurts to ask. V/r Shawn

3% Paypal?

I have never dealt with him. When I see add 3% to a Paypal transaction I stay away. You can't add a surcharge to cover fees for a credit card payment by a payment processor. I read and studied all about this. You can offer a cash discount but you cannot force a surcharge. There are some very nice bikes for sale on his website.

The 3% addition is pretty standard here as most of us are hobbyists and not a business. You can't do it through Ebay but as a private transaction you can prescribe your own terms and potential buyers can decide whether to accept the terms. V/r Shawn

He has some high end bikes that have high vakues. And most are more than my budget allows.
I have dealt with Mike and it was a transaction I would have expected from a Cabe member. It went smoothly and was please with the outcome.


It's all about the Tanklights!!

How did I run out of room so fast?
