Thank you for your post Citoyen du Monde.
Of course you are right with the fact that I am much newer to vintage bikes than you are. There is no doubt. And I still have a lot to learn, who doesn`t.
I was aware that this bike isn`t anymore in perfect condition and that it has been riden a lot. You can see that as you say on the first picture provided. However,
this doesn`t mean you can lie on the rest. If you do, ok, but I guess you won`t have a lot of satisfied custumers. Oh, I forgot to mention. After I payed for the item
the seller asked me not to give him a review because he doesn`t want that the bike shows up with a that high price on his profile. Strange, no?
The link you posted is the right one. Only too bad that the seller already disabled all the pictures that were included in the auction. But as you followed the auction,
you should know there were lots of pics and you also should know that there was none showing the top of the Toptube.
I could upload all the pictures he posted to me and then post them here in the forum but what would that help? nothing! I could post an tons of pictures and just don`t post the
one (there is none) which shows the scratches on the toptube. Or you believe me or you don`t. It`s your choice, but why should I lie?
As the bike is old and I see that the paint is not anymore in best condition I take "div. kleine Lackschäden) as the genaral issues. Of course you can`t list every little issue. However if there is a big one and you are an honest seller you try to show it to the potential buyer.
Plus, if he didn`t do it on purpose I don`t see why he does not even reply to my complaint.
But now forget about this. It is only my problem and the one of seller (maby).
My question and that`s why I posted the thread was to now what I should do to sell the frame for the best money ( without ripping somebody off by neglecting some issues). Repaint or not Repaint?
