I have loads of pix.

I've just copped another neg - from the Froggie who sold me the side
panel decals billed as genuine, but which were copies (I mean, the
backing paper has 'LEXMARK' on it....)

I'm philosophical about negs now - my FB on Ebay is approaching 700, and
when I come across a twat, I'm not going to think "Oh, if I neg him,
he'll neg me back!". I'll tell it like it is

But this Morini "gent" is carefully not mentioning faults which he
*knows* exist.

Anyone else fancy dropping him a few "questions"?

I've been watching this one since Sunday, and was going to put a bid in
on it (Christ, I'm turning into TOG - 750SS, SO Honda 500/4, now wanting
a Morini!), I sent a few queries on Sunday, and got this reply back:

"hi alan..no known probs..but it is a 28 year bike..have just taken for
5 mile ride all ok.i live in cheltenham..best regards martin"

So, is it worth £650?
I reckon so, and I maybe would have gone up to £750, but now having
doubts.
Alan.

Although the clutch oil seals were replaced, it started leaking again,
and I very much doubt he's touched them. So the clutch really needs to
come apart again.

The engine is basically sound.

The frame piant is good. The red paintwork is a bit shabby. The
electrics all worked.

It needs a helluva lot of TLC and several hundred quid thrown at it.

Weggy's assessment is spot on, and I can assure you, there's a lot more
to it than the seller is letting on.

The MRC guide price for a 500 is C1 £2500, C2 £1500, C3 £800

It'd be worth having for 600-700 if one wanted a project.

probably the usual thing, someone's bought it off ebay. which *really*
pisses me off if I'm watching something which I intend bidding on later.

It pisses me off, too. In this instance, I think putting in a bid of a
few thousand quid would be amusing, as he'd have to pay Ebay's final
value fees on it.

Doesn't eBay refund the final value fee in the case of a NPB?

Yes, but this wouldn't be an NPB, would it?
