how the f**k does that stand him £1000. Angry Angry Angry in my opinion its worth nothing it doesnt run and its not registered, the dodgyest of mots would laugh at that  so its got no chance of an msva ticket, sorry spanners but i expected a well engineered trike from you Cheesy Cheesy

I sent a message to the seller

"Hi - just wanted to point out that as this trike is not yet registered, it shouldn't be described as road legal. I know what you mean but many people new to trikes would not understand this as the trike needs to go through MSVA test before it can be registered, and only then will be road legal."

Reply - "yes, we all know that, but it is designed to be road legal, and using the term was the only way to get it placed in the selected catagory, thanks for your concern !  "

Me - "My concern was not for you but for some innocent buyer!  "

Him - "Why are you so obsessed with my listing?, if you knew me you would realise that i am the most honest person ever, all the issues you have would / will be explained to any bidder before they part with any payment, Go out and get your own life, i am more than happy with mine, and dont wish to share it.. Thanks."

So I've reported the listing, as best I can - Ebay don't give any chance to say what the actual problem is.  Some might say it's none of my business,  but I don't want to think of anyone getting ripped off, specially the kind of person who'd be looking at an automatic.

People looking for auto trikes are often those with disabilities, who know little about trikes.  I just don't like to see them being ripped off.

I'm with you B G,its not nice being rip off and its not a lesson you learn until it happens to you, Some people just find themself against it for one thing or another and others are looking to rob you of your hard earned money

In general in my life I have found that there are many more good kind honest people around than the other kind so I guess I'm not as cynical as some.
