eBay etc. in Europe
In the spirit of "eBay / CraigsList finds - "Are you looking for one of these!?" I wanted to make a thread for sharing deals found on online auction sites and second hand marketplaces that are located in Europe. Some of these might also be of interest on the other side of the pond...
Besides ebay.fr, ebay.de, ebay.it etc. there are lots of local "Craig's Lists" in different countries:
Austria
www.willhaben.at/
Belgium
www.2ememain.be/
France
www.leboncoin.fr/
www.paruvendu.fr/
Germany:
www.ebay-kleinanzeigen.de/
www.kleinanzeigen.de/
Sweden
www.tradera.se/
Please feel free to add what you come across!
I hope this thread will prove useful to someone

Good place to find local collection only items sold by amateurs, eg. barn finds.

Let’s not forget our friends in Italy

I didn’t see a translation option so you better know your manubrio from your guarnitura

Anybody heard of Arsac ? Seriously considering, although the tubeset is unknown and the fork is not as roomy as some others. Seller quoted the weight at around 2,5 kg

Sadly, I've only ever had frustration with leboncoin.fr. As an American who is fluent in French, I thought I could convince at least one seller to ship to the United States. Apparently not--I've never succeeded in purchasing anything from that site, even a small bike light. Most messages are unanswered, and those that do respond are not willing to ship internationally or accept American credit cards. Folks on the retrobike.co.uk forum seem to have had similar experiences, so it's not just me. It is really a pity, since the prices are roughly 1/2 of what they are on US Ebay (e.g. Rene Herse 650B randonneur offered for 2800 euros). It's like the forbidden candy shop of French bike stuff!

For a 50-52cm frame that's not unheard of I think.
This 531 Laurent for comparison is 2320g according to the seller - crashed, unfortunately
https://www.ebay.com/itm/134806006028
and to RustyJames - I also tried Subito with Google Translate, didn't load properly for some reason
