I just checked the auction out and figure either the guy knows nothing about the vintage bike market, is delusional, or this is a complete scam. I bought my '77 Raleigh Professional MK 5 a few years ago for $700 and it was in dang near mint condition. NO WAY the guy paid $5000 in '81. Unless he's blowing smoke, it probably was $500 NOT $5000. If you follow his response to a questioner, he claims two bike shops gave him an estimate of $8,000 to $10,000 for the bike.

This deal smells like 4-day old fish.
