Burner & Mongoose Values - HELP PLEASE

(1/5) > >>

greentoad:
Hi all  ;)

I met an old school friend and have found out that a few bikes are still around, Burner, T/A, Haro, Mongoose, waiting on other ID, all old mates rides from the early to mid 80's.

So, before they get taken to the skip or damaged etc, I have aksed for first refusal on two -

Raliegh Burner 20" - Ruffell / Team multi coloured special with top end components, skyways etc etc (price was about £600 he reckons new - built by Raleigh employee for him as a favour to his dad) not been used for nearly 20 years

Mongoose Mini race bike 20" - spec unkown but as light a f**k but thought to be top end stuff, with a Number Plate that has been signed by Mike Miranda - not been used for nearly 20 years

So, do the models ring any bells and any ideas of what they might be worth, within about £50 - £75 either way, as I want to play fair?

Any help would be great to save another few old classic bikes, as the chap that has the Burner and Goose really wants to get rid of them.

Cheers

ORB:
neither sound to be high value.

go for the TA and the Haro.

theRuler:
play fair eh?

not sure about those orrible stripey mk2 burners, but the components sound good.
second hand value wise, the skyways have gotta be worth 50 quid and upwards.
maybe there is another 50 quid plus worth of bits on it too.
so there's a conservative 100, plus a fiver for the stripey frameset

the mongoose mini sounds interesting
as a complete bike it's worth way more than 75 quid!!
the older ones are worth more

if you can get those 2 for 75 quid each, then you are doing well.

to be unfair would be to give him a tenner for the two.

gmac:
I've got a Team Burner - Andy Ruffell, and the components are nothing special on it. I would suggest that if your mate had it built for him, then it's not a standard bike anyway, so value would be different from one like mine. They didn't come with Tuffs on for a start. Better askt he Beard about that one.

No idea about the Mongoose, I don't even know what my own one is  :uglystupid2:

theRuler:
didnt "team" burners come with some fruity skyway shaped copy shit box shit wheels made from shit?
