If it's a fair distance form you yeah ask for some better pics, if not go and inspect it. I wouldn't bid on anything blind on ebay - you want to thoroughly check it out. Infact I usually go visit them make them an offer before the auction ends and get it cheap. People like a straight up buyer with no hassle if you offer them cash straight up at a tasty price (for you) and say look cash for a no hassle painless sale xxxx much plus you can take it off ebay and not ahve to give them a small fortune in final value fees.

There's a million bikes out there, don't rush choose the right bike at the right price (I accept it's difficult though). It'd be nice to buy from a fellow orger they're more likely to be honest with you (you'd hope) and might give you a good price. I've given fellow forummers upto £300 off what I would have wanted off ebay for stuff before - just a nice community thing.
