Just out of interest I thought I’d get a quote from them as they promise to give best value, I entered all the details & a short while later received an email, £1000, then I replied “your quote is about £1500 short” (I know this is street value) I then received a phone call telling me that due to the high mileage, I laughed & said “you don’t know much about the Blackbird do you?” He replied I’ve had motorbikes for twenty years he didn’t respond when I told him this didn’t make him an expert & I suggested he go & read up on the Blackbird & come back with a better offer, I don’t think he will.

Clearly the man is a buffoon - top whack £50 for scrap value at best.

It's about the right offer for that type of outfit.
They buy it for £1k, give it a wash and put it in the showroom with a price tag of £3k.
