Agree with that, but at the other end of the spectrum I was viewing a complete survivor kz1 earlier that looked to be in great condition for just under 800, which I thought was quite a good price :-\

Black suede's a goer but for me the Dalmatian print should reside with disney not on a killer bike like that, sorry ;)

Hi there, not offended by anyone's comments, it's my bike and has been since birth. Just put it up on eBay to gauge interest. It's been through a few different styles over the years and won a few Rad MK Trophies, but I think its time to move it on to somebody that would take time in it again. And remember it's not just rare as there were around 300 Freeflites made but 1 of 1 so if I listed it at 99p and had one bid I would not be a happy man, that's why in the listing I have said open to offers! It's a real piece of Voris and Woody history so one perhaps for one of us teenagers from the 80's

Hi Radrobbo, welcome to the forum and thank you for making your first post a comment on this thread.
You truly do have an awesome bmx for sale in your listing, a model I would love to own one day. As I say one of my ‘Grails’, a bike I’ve desired for my very small collection for a long time now.
I appreciate your sentiment regarding a 99p starting price and single bid scenario, I think many of us would think and feel similar. It’s nice to also hear your sentiment of being open to serious bidders making sensible offers. I can assure you that if I was a fortunate man and lucky enough to have sufficient surplus cash to make you what I would feel (after careful consideration) was a realistic and non-insulting offer we would be talking more right now. But unfortunately I’m currently investing any surplus cash I have in a very slow build of a bike I feel nearly as rare as yours (in the fact that it is also a pre-production, low production numbers frame of comparable desire/standing/age), so I do have an appreciation of the costs involved.
However, even if I was fortunate enough to be that man, and this is obviously just my own personal opinion, I think that even after careful consideration any such offer I would theoretically make would probably still be someway short of your current asking price.
I really mean no insult by any of the above, I truly do admire your bike, and it would be one of these models that I would look to source if I ever finish my current build and want to again go through the long haul of locating all of the corresponding required, rare, high cost components.
So for now, thank you and I wish you all the very best of luck with your sale. :daumenhoch:
