Funny story this one, i had made an arrangement to buy the bike back from Poppy and he would bring it to PBBB to do the exchange. I met up with him and handed over the splash and continued about my business, never actually removing the bike from George's camp site. A fella went sniffing around it and asked George "is this old girl for sale?"
so he mentions it to me and I thought hey lets give this a try, "tell him he can have it for X amount otherwise it's not for sale" I said, George goes back to fella and mentions the number, fella says yeah sure ill take it!!!
i couldn't believe my luck, so I did the right thing and gave George half of the difference between what he sold it to me for and what the next bloke paid, i made a pretty reasonable sum in a matter or hours doing absolutely nothing and old George ended up with 50% more than he expected to get for the bike. Ahhhhh I do love a happy ending
