Selling an old Honda CB 250 RSDC for spares, by auction, initially for £50.00.

I offered an old, 1984, Honda CB250 RSDC for sale by auction, initially for £50.00. I put Buyer collects, no returns accepted and "Suit owner with similar machinef or "Christmas Tree"for spares; many of which are new or nearly so.  No rust, both kick start and elec. start have failed.    I have seen total rust buckets on auction for £80.00 to £1,000.00, so it seems fair to say that no one is going to offer a working machine, rust free, for £50.00. 

It appeared to have been sold for £250.00, more than I expected, though I would have paid as much if I`d owned a working, similar, machine. The buyer then contacted me for asurances about the state of the engine. I replied that as a honest biker, I could give no such asurances.

Buyer then apparantly lost interest but unfortunately it was then posted as "Sold". 

I am now in a grey area, where I cann`t put it up for sale as it`s "Sold" already. I don`t want an argument or a blame game, I just need to start again including paying all the fees again.

I`ve only ever sold one item before this and that went very well, so I`m in unknown territory. I don`t think this was my fault, I made no claims for the article as a working motorbike, though perhaps, in my ignorance, I was partly to blame, for which I apologise.   HELP.         Cheers from       "very confiused.com !"

I can't see that it sold for £250. it  sold on best offer for £50

and there was a retracted bid of £250

if the winning bidder doesn't want it, I suggest you cancel the transaction using the dropdown menu next to the item choosing buyer requested as the reason

once you close the sale you can relist
