THis is a typical example? I'm after a cal lite stem pad in blue ? you could buy them not long ago for around a tenner as I bought 2 so I spot one on ebay (check the ad out!!) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/California-Lite-Stem-Pad-Blue-NOS-Old-School-BMX-for-Haro-Kuwahara-GT-Skyway/122978161757?hash=item1ca211d45d:g:FQkAAOSwvZNajEED

so wtf is he asking this much for? where did he pluck the price from? If he's on here he should hang his head in shame the greedy bastard!  :knuppel2:

I have been watching a few bonkers ones lately. White Elina lightning bolt: BIN £320. It got bid up to £189 reserve not met!
Oh and there are a pair of Ukai Speedlines in blue for BIN £500, just to let you know that you can have mine for £499 any day  :LolLolLolLol:

Worth every penny and that's no lie.

I do like a look on eBay for a good laugh, it’s the best place to go if you’re looking for rare, holy grail, NOS, or my favourite “VW Show” parts or bikes. While I’d much rather buy anything I need on here I’ve found Facebook is much easier to to find parts.
I had a wanted ad on here for a few parts, nothing fancy just run of the mill stuff for a few weeks. I bit the bullet and posted a wanted on Facebook, sorted in 10 minutes and at good prices.

Don’t get me wrong there’s a lot of shite on there but if you’re doing a build it’s the best place to be.

Prices are either crazy or on FB a lot of dealing is behind the scenes stuff so you don’t know if the seller has been raped or not...
case  in point ..
I was after a helmet and prepared to bid .. the guy stopped the auction and relisted it for £20 more ....
Seen someone selling a nice trucker hat (nos) but for £60!!!! Bin .. He then states he’s got 5 more of them for those stupid enough to want to buy from such an idiot at that insane price !
It’s depressing.. I’d love to keep building but the scene and greedy gets have killed it for us all  :tickedoff: :2gunsfiring_v1:
