80sBMXer:
I've just charged a disabled pensioner £3500k to repair a leaky tap , so i'd be happy to pay for the hubs - anyone got the link?
easy come , easy go
On a more serious note,This old skool BMX lark is a big bubble waiting to burst with a lot of people certain to lose big money
Alot of us on here are now in our 40's desperate to regain our youth and build the dream bike we drooled over BITD,but will I still want this bike when i'm 50+?.........I think not.
more to the point who am i going to sell it to?? Is anyone (currently in their 30's or younger) going to be interested in buying my finished bike .............No,because it doesn't have any relevance to their era.
Ok before you all shout there is always going to be the exceptions ( pro class bikes with racing pedigree,Haro Gen 1's etc etc these are like E-type Jags DB5's etc)
I'm talking Cavalier SRi Astra GTE i.e Raleigh Burners
Getting back to the point - we all want these hubs but are annoyed that they are so far out of our reach, Has anyone made a "best offer"??
I hope you do sell them cos theres gonna be a lot of people choking on their Rice Krispies if you do :2funny:
I think the people most vocal about the prices are the guys on here that have never given up on their BMX's since the 80's , and the people we have to thank for this great forum. Well done guys
I personally haven't uttered the word BMX for 24 yrs - and in another 8 yrs (50!)I probably wont again, but i'm lovin building my 3 bikes up at the moment.
Is that the fooking time!!!
Keep it real

If you like Ill start naming names myself of all the members on here that jump on the bandwagon in these sort of threads, theres at least 10 people on here with a multitude of different ebay accounts listed in different locations that they flit from to sell their stuff, so why keep using different accounts? whys the stuff not put on RAD ? How many buy over on the Museum and then sell it on here at a profit ? I call tell you if were all bandwagonning the subject so intensely ?
To be honest even skywaman had every right to sell at the prices he wanted to sell at, he paid his money , bought his supporter tag and he got shafted because the ' BMX BMX BMX ' bunch thought his prices were too high, it really is quite unfair to be honest...if you dont like someones price then move along..noone is forcing you to pay the prices being asked . Its a hobby, not a way of life...anyone over 30 whos life is BMX BMX BMX really does need to get out more, if you hadnt noticed people are getting older...getting married...having kids...selling up their collections...and moving on....and I see noone moaning at Gmac for letting skywayman sell at the prices he was . These are all fair point but do feel free to continue youre non valid point :daumenhoch:
If im lucky enough to get a good deal you all missed out on, and in turn make some dollars that then allows me to buy a Gen 1 then thats fairplay to me . People pay what they are prepared to pay, simple as that . This has all been said before and probably will be again the next time someone puts something on ebay or a forum thats ' overpriced ' .

Note to self ...... don't put up a wanted post for a Gen 1 , could'nt afford yours I'm thinking :LolLolLolLol:

I don't usually get involved in these threads as I tend to stick to the somewhat naive view that the 'for sale' forum should manage itself like it used to but in this case, due to these comments, thought i should. ::)
The person selling GMAC's collection was banned by the team here at Radbmx , or the 'BMX BMX BMX ' bunch as you so eloquently put it, for reasons that were thrashed out at the time. It's true that while some people agreed with you it's being unfair to ban that dealer the majority did not and that tends to be the way things go on this site.
Having been on the site as long as i have i won't dispute the fact we're getting older and it's fair to say that some have got married, had kids, sold up and moved on but at the same time many members from the early days of the site still remain, and are married, have kids, have not sold up and use sunscreen.
The thing is balladof32 if you don't like it perhaps you should take your own advice and move along because, as i've mentioned, profiteers tend not to be looked on very favourably here at radbmx. Whether I agree with that or not is probably another reason why I tend to stay out of these sort of threads. :-\
Love from one of the ' BMX BMX BMX ' bunch :angel:

Here we go again. boring
things sell for what they are worth to someone at that time. its like fishing, put a big worm on and you may get a big fish.

the problem for everyone is, that something like this will sell and it pushes all the other prices up and out of reach of most people. but these trends dont last long and will settle out again to what people are willing to pay. a one off doesnt set the bench mark. :daumenhoch:
