Misleading Sold Tag

[GTs58]

So another one goes into the Archive as sold but that's not the case, it was not sold. The seller just marked it sold again to avoid any more feedback on the updated price. She had this listed here for years @ $2000 and then today it was marked sold. Then she immediately reposted the bike for sale again today for $3000. Now it's marked sold again and in the Archives as sold. From what I just witnessed, a poster can pull their listing out of the Archive and repost it for sale again.

False assumptions. BFG badge but not the BFG chain guard decal? The bike is not a Spitfire. Pedals are 1966+ bows. Stem has been upgraded with a forged piece. The Spit and Hornet was never offered in a 2-speed. Seat is off something else. That's just for starters on the bold claim about this being untouched and all original. Sorry, I couldn't contain myself, this is not Facebook Marketplace.

Seems like the seller needs to be sent a warning by the mods!

Inflation?, has the value gone up that much on a unsold middleweight in 7 yrs!, nice bike but!

No it has not. But people are hungry and doing a lot of fishing nowadays.

Thought was rather odd also! That’s the one that had nasty grips and no way in heck any one paid that!

Can we get an “increased” label for when we increase the price like we have sold and reduced?

 

[Free Wheel]

Throw in a "bull sh1t" label. Just to remind us of what's happening when people put up some middleweight for $4 grand. You see it on the 'bay plenty. But people here are usually better. Those that bring ebay behaviors here... give them a nice steaming pile of BS label. Sort of like Deal No Deal, people bid frantically on some items for several days and then "ND" at the end or the item gets bagged and Withdrawn because suddenly the money ain't up to snuff and the seller takes a powder. BS label should be tacked on to the Withdrawn label. If you knew what you wanted, just say so... don't waste people's time. And don't BS condition. "It's brand new, unused stock", but then looks like someone took a belt sander under the paint or plating. Don't play that, or else get a fresh pile of BS label.
