You can't sell something on the web for top dollar with crappy cell phone pictures. You did take plenty of detailed pictures, right?
BTW, consider yourself lucky that someone would even bid on that with the ad you have. Cinelli six saddle? Geez...
CyclArt paints their name on the frame, at least spell it right.
Agreed. Repaints can negatively impact values for collectibles like older SCs. However, as OFG points out, it's the ad in this case that is the problem. I'm impressed that it's reached the price level that it has given the pictures and the description. Personally I would end the auction and relist it with a better description and better pictures using a photo hosting service and HTML. I think that you would get significantly better response.
