dwain dibbly:
anyone can sell anything for any price, but would you want to thats the question????
just look at the other thread about poolysherriff and what a great bloke he is. this is a very small community
and reputation is everything. if someone wants to sell at over inflated prices let them and see if anyone wants to deal with them again!!
AKGOFF:
If they sell at that price (which is not beyond the realms of possibility) then to the buyer, they are worth every penny, if, however, at the time of advertising they do not sell, then they are overpriced, but only at that time. Maybe in a years time there will be people fighting to get them at that price, would they be a rip off then? What about a Trickstar frameset that was purchased new in 84 for $150 and will now sell used for circa $700, is that a rip off?
Supply and demand people, if you want it bad enough, you'll pay.
I'll prepare for widespread condemnation now. :D

It's a buyers market, if it's rare ask good money...where the fook else are they gonna buy it? I see no one slating Alan's bmx for banging a buyitnow of £125 on a nos dc mx1000 , or £50 on a nos dc tech 3 . I'll sell for what I want to sell my stuff at , if you don't like that then don't buy it...I don't have a gun to you're head ! I buy and sell , not specifically to make money but builds change as you all know and if I think I can get £100 for something I paid £50 for then who exactly is being ripped off? 9 times out of 10 it's ploughed back into bmx bits in some shape or form so at the end of the day it's saving me money..and anyone that doesn't save money and has the ability to do so need to get their head checked . Anyone that wants to sell at 1983 prices that's you're right to do so, so at the same time respect others

Why are you so bothered about what a bunch of adults who play with kids bikes think anyway? Just laugh it off, I would if I was in your position.
Feel free to come back on and give it the big-un when someone hits the BIN. >:D
