I just saw this bike on ebay and was quite interested as it appears to be a fairly reasonable model for around $400 (£250), i was just wondering if anyone had any opinions on if it was any good and i if anyone could suggest any questions to ask the seller.

I have bought several bikes on ebay, and have had no problems except the seller didnt know how to measure the bike.
Make sure the bike is your size and has no cracks, also make sure the bike is straight and true. ask the seller if there is a return policy. also check ebays fair trade, if the bike is damaged beyond repair and not listed ebay can do something about it.. (what kind of bike is it, and did you buy it?)
good luck and ride safe

The guy has a good record for buying but nothing for selling. I think the key is to get in touch with him and learn more about the bike like mentioned by bianchi rider. (a great name and obviously a great judge of quality in a bike)

I've had good luck on e-bay, the price seems good, just learn all you can.

Just picked up my newest ride on ebay. Infact, I won't purchase anything without consulting Ebay first.
