What this company do is basically con you out of 80 pounds.
They will never sell your bike or help you sell it.
They have 0 buyers and it's a swift con

They are a shoddy outfit who work in a dirty flat.

Save your money and use the MCN or Bike Trader Twisted Evil

I'm guessing its the same people who run that BikeSearch UK thing. I kept getting phone calls off them, at stupid times of the day, asking me to advertise my bike with them. For just £100, they would pass on my vehicle information to their 'customers.' Obviously I didnt agree, but when the same woman called for a 3rd time, she had a terrible attitude. I had reduced the price of my bike by £150 on the bike trader advert, so she said "if you've got that much money, why not give that £150 to us?" Needless to say, I spoke my mind. Told them what scam they were running and that their 'customers' can quite easily look on bike trader or even in the magazine and contact me through the advert, thus saving me a fair amount of cash.

Are they even a registered company, or just a blatant scam?

from their website (https://motorsearchuk.co.uk/)

"Price Comparison
Motorsearch UK £79.99 UNTIL SOLD
Autocar £105.99 One issue
Sunday Times £112.80 One issue
Auto Trader £120.00 One issue
Exchange&Mart£136.00One issue"

Hmm. £120 to advertise in autotrader? I don't think so! To be fair to them, way down at the bottom of the page it says: "Motorsearch UK is a flat fee. Autocar box ad price. Sunday Times 6 line ad. Midland/North West Auto Trader colour emperor ad.(Scottish A/T £86) Exchange & Mart national black and white quad sport ad. Prices correct July 2003."

This seems to me to be clearly misleading. If anyone wants to complain to trading standards, go for it.

When I was selling my RS125 2 year ago and submitted it to loot I kept getting phone calls off that company saying 'we have a buyer here wanting your bike right now.... all we need is £60 and we shall put you in contact with them'

They were really really pushy, when I told them I wasn't interested they laughed and said 'Why, we have a buyer here for you!'

I would have probably fell for it if it wasn't £60...
