    It's probably not a real auction at all, but some kind of underworld code for "we nick that blue
    Brompton from the shed round the back of the house on Grubby Crescent on the 20th", or something
    like that.

    I mean, would *anyone* buy used handle bar tape? <boggle>

    There is always someone.....

    I once sold a plastic chandelier with a few of the glass bits missing for 50p at a carboot.

    I see they are asking GBP2.00 postage as well...........

    Why waste your money?

    I knew a roadie chap from days gone by who used pyjama cord as bar tape. At intervals he'd remove it
    and chuck it in the wash before putting it back on the bars.

    He never stood his round either.

    If its too expensive for you you could always bid on another of his items:

    Unfortunately I've missed out on his Raleigh puncture repair kit that went for £1.28 -
    unused I hope.
