I asked this seller on ebay uk that have 3 unused zumbi F-44 frames for sale at an eye watering £1,433.68 per frame (the 4th is £1,383.70) if the price was fixed? they replied "all frames are 1,433.68 per frame", but what about the frame that is listed at £1,383.70?
Is this a sign of a dodgy seller?
Also in my opinion it is absurd to price a frame at these prices when they do not even come with a rear shock?
Do I have a point??
Thanks in advance…

If you think its an absurd price, don’t buy it. Problem solved.
Don’t bother
You are concerned because the guy selling outdated versions of outdated frames that were never very good to begin with messed up when he forgot that one of his frames was priced less? He probably thinks you’re asking if they are negotiable, which is up to him.
I enjoyed my f44ti but there are much better frames out there. The geometry is terrible compared to what else you can get. They are pretty and they do ride nice. My friend bought one for $500 and felt like he got ripped off
That’s a frame from the Polish brand Zumbi which might have gone out of business, as their website hasn’t been updated since 2018 discussing the 2019 runs. It’s not odd as much as it is insanely rare and it’s entire made and designed in Poland.
I don’t know what you consider “eye-watering”, but the frames went for 2300 in 2018 as far as I can tell from the site. I’m guessing the person is a distributor or a racer or someone paid with frames. The shock thing is because these frames were intended for people serious about riding in races and they would have their own shock preferences and custom valving.
I remember seeing them and immediately thinking this was a successor to a Karpiel and I felt like the company was delivering itself too much in the tradition of Karpiel. I would never get one,, but I’d get an Antidote.
Hello there sir,
Seeing this post surprised me honestly.
I can confirm that the seller is legit as I happen to be the buyer of the purple-blue zumbi frame :).
The frame came in perfect NOS condition and appropriately packaged.
Feel free to contact me for proof, I have a screenshot of the eBay purchase and a photo of the frame on my sofa.
Edit: remember peeps, the seller is hit with a fat eBay advertising fee (as was my case, but I’m in no position to disclose the amount), so that’s priced in obviously.
Cheers
