bit odd...

At a guess, I?d probably say that legit bids were submitted by people that wanted to secure the forks thinking that the frame would be along soon and since it has transpired that there is no frame, retracted their bids.

Yep good point, I miss a bit not being on F/B I guess...I can live with that...
The ARX forks just went for 360
Fair play but I could find a lot better things to spend 360 quid on

I'd rather the OG Landing Gears that went for 410 yesterday, but I still wouldn't pay that!

It's a lot of money to spend on anything that's not essential, especially something that in a matter of time will be pretty worthless. Let's be honest, OSBMX could be classed as a niche hobby, and Andy/Neil's parts are only worth anything to us and by us, I mean our generation that remember them from the golden era of BMX Beat and Kellogg's etc. Even the truest of collectors that are slinging cash at these parts must have an area in their brains that is telling them that when their kids find them in a box in the garage in years to come, they will basically just have scrap value.

A nice bit of history, as is all of his stuff, but only for the serious collector in my opinion.
From Andy's perspective, it's nicer to give something back to his fans and I guess the cash will be nice for him, better than sitting in his folks? loft I guess.
The plate though, already doing well, but not worth what it's already stood at, not without the decals.
