hmmm. they might have shelf wear(or where :LolLolLolLol: ) is one of our terms. me thinks there is more knowledge behind this of old school bmx than the seller is letting on. bolton is round the corner for me, might go and have a look.

e-mailed asking for full breakdown of contents, but said they have accepted an offer. Auction probably won't run its course.
Be nice to have seen some pic's of the shop anyway :(
Wonder if its anyone on here or a dealer.

Just offered 4k and they said no :LolLolLolLol:
Blag of all blags
-
The shop is in Holmsfirth near Huddlesfield
-
got the same reply from her ,,,offer pending
;)
details to follow...
-
If they have knocked back 4k then they know something about it surely?
-
i offered £2k and they said gonna let the auction run
-
::)
I could be in then
-
rockchick will be at the front door with a bunch of flowers as we speak :LolLolLolLol:

-
probably a pilo shite in boxes all this time ina musky shop
will be all rotten junk
-
it will just be the old shite you see on 'last of the summer wine'....
-
i bet ive driven past this shop loads of times >:(
Big Valleys shop was near Holmfirth they sold loads of Hutch stuff :shocked:, maybe its their old shop ???
-
im interested but wanna detailed stock and they are not very forth coming with lists. mind you after so many hours listing they are probally thinking WTF.lol
-
probably a pilo shite in boxes all this time ina musky shop

you know it....the rust must have set in surely...all sounds abit dodge to me anyway.....too good to be true.whoever gets it will turn up with the cash and get smashed by some dodge pot huskies :LolLolLolLol:

-
rockchick will be at the front door with a bunch of flowers as we speak :LolLolLolLol:
:crazy2:
in a message from seller - pending offer off a bmx site :-\
-
smells a bit to me some of the terminology in the listing and in their feedback a few cycle/bmx dealings ???
-
I will have a pound each way on this ever coming to fruition (is that spelt correctly?)
would love it to be good, but i'm not holding my breath ( lagery as it is!)
someone from here would have known about a bike shop in their locale flogging good stuff BITD and have enquired/robbed it in the previous 25 years.
gut wants it, heart wants it, mind says its a fix...

I dont believe a shop lays undiscovered, 10 years or more ago Biagio,Kirk,Mcnulty and myself all had jobs on the road and would visit every shop we saw and I am sure others were doing it too, surely this would not have got missed???

-
Its up to £2800 and no contact from the seller . :2funny:
-
If it was me going round to remove these items I would have been banging out loads of pictures on phone,

:coolsmiley:
I've had a look in the back of that shop about 7 years ago, and it was full of used bike... fooking choca block, piled up like a tiny indoor scrap yard. He had a few Raliegh bits kicking about, Grifter seats, the odd cheapo snake belly and shitty OGK mags, I'm sure it shut down a year or so later.
Full of old shite, the Burner boys would have liked it ;D
-
bet theres loads of shops undiscovered out there as Joe ran a franchise in the late 1800s , Reckon its someone who wants rid of their old tat and placed it inside the shop for authenticity
-
A few years ago i was driving wagons and would call in on every old looking bike bike shop, found a few tuffs, seats and brakes but never the mother load
or any bikes/frames..
A few good leads never materialised, once got a tip that a shop near ashton manchester had bikes stacked up in its celler,
i spoke to the owner who said come back in a week (after the school hols) and i'll let you have a look.. so after a week of excitement i uncovered a room full of cheap argos type barbie shit..
Never passed this place in Holmfirth mind :(
-
like the idea of some old bike stuff laid away for years, what i don't like is the ebay listing, with no pictures, no full inventory of the stuff and what condition its in, the lister on ebay is selling on behalf of someone else and finally how they say its advertised somewhere else, can't believe its up tp over 2 grand without those details, also its listed eleswhere is a ebay violation surprised it has'nt been pulled, anyway i'm sure biagio is round there now taking the best stuff or all of it :LolLolLolLol:
-
i agree martylaa you surely would not even bid without seeing the stuff first :-\ sure it says dia compe brakes now everyone is thinking sh1t it's mx1000 full brake sets but might only be the old racer style :-\
buyer beware ::)
-
So let me get this right! The shop has been abandoned since 1984 and not entered since???? What a crock of shite. :LolLolLolLol:
-
looked through the sellers history he has had a few bmx bits. his username is rsturbod someone on here was in the rs turbo owners club i remember maybe its a set up.lol
would still like it if its true though
-
I guess cash on collection could help. If it's no good don't pay.
On the other hand I wouldn't want to rock up to that place with 4k+ in my pocket.
'Just this way sir. That's it through that little door. My friends will assist you from here.' ;D

-
I have now PM'ed the seller twice asking for a viewing seeing as i have bid £2800 .I have had no reply .
-
hope nobody puts a huge snide bid in and dont pay ::) just so they get a HUGE listing fee ;D
-
Thats the Shop Snav, i used to drive past it and it was always shut, i phoned the contact number that was placed on the door, but never got an answer, then one day i stopped by and there was a message in the window saying about the owner dying, i never followed it up after that. There was a old raleigh sign up in the window. I should have been a bit more persistent me thinks.,
-
just take a night visit in the shop and look what is there
and you got it for free :daumenhoch: :2funny: :2funny: :uglystupid2:
-
2900 and going, I sent them a few q's last night, but they replied saying a deal was pending. Weird its still there.
Maybe theyre waiting to see how much people are willing to offer before pulling it, giving the old lady a couple of hundred for it, and the finding out whats its really worth.
-
report the listing to ebay ,,,that'l teach the feckers >:D
-
If this is a genuine listing they should pull it stating the auction will return in a few days..
They can see the interest its generated, relist with a full picture and parts breakdown..
we can all sit back with a beer and watch it unfold.
"all the money less the fee is going to her" ... yeah sure!
-
I just put a bid of 3 k in and was outbid .I am going to keep bidding .......I can always pull out from the sale as " item not as described " What they going to do if i dont pay ? Give me bad feedback ! So what .All the people asking simple questions with no bids get replies .I put in a 3k bid and get nothing ! What does that tell you >:D
-
£3300 Im going to keep going !

Looks like i called their bluff then . I just put one in for 4k and it was pulled :LolLolLolLol:
Damn :tickedoff: I really wanted that 4k burner :coolsmiley:
-
Now we wait and see if someone owns up to winning this, or Vert-ego has more stock ;D

Wonder if it was a wind up. Never no now ???
-
I Just received this message
Hi Craig. so so sorry for the later reply. it has been so crazy, with family and the messages over offering the amounts. my husband has sold bmx's on ebay and know it would be worth something, but the offers was shocking. a person not even seen the item, put a offer in from down south, which at the time, it hought he was joking. many thanks for the interest.
Make up your own mind :)
-
looks like the ebay lister has been reading this thread??
-
i just got the same reply, i was gonna offer go up to £10,000 never mind they have pulled it now ;D
-
So who do we know from down south with that kinda dosh to spend on old school bmx stuff >:( >:( ??? ??? :)
-
Someone should go to the shop and ask a neighbour where the woman lives, then flash a few quid at her and fook the ebayer off ::)
-
anyone up for a smash and grab tonight >:D
-
wonder how much of the money the women will actually see if this is genuine :police:
keep checking vert-ego's stock haha
-

yeh i got a similar message
Hi so sorry for the late reply. it has been so hard work, with offers and silly questions. many many thanks for your interest. a gentleman from down south put a offer in on saturday morning and have ended the auction, as its just not fair etc. it just sounds crazy as he not even seen them. mu husband knew they would be worth something, but it has just been crazy. many thanks
not sure what they mean by "as its just not fair" surely fair would be to let the auction run. never mind
-
JimmyP why the fook have you got a swastika and hitler in your avatar??? :uglystupid2:

got the same email too :idiot2:
-
think we all got a dear john letter.lol
-
one thing i just can't understand is this.
the seller has sold bmx's on ebay before and knows these are collectable. the lady with the shop wanted rid and was going to skip the lot. why did he not just say i will take them away for you or offered a couple of hundred pounds for them? from what i can make out the lady would have been happy for the space?
-
he's prob said i'll get ya about 500 notes for this lot leave it up to me :LolLolLolLol:
5-6 grand later :LolLolLolLol:
who ya reckon the gentleman down south is?
biagio?
what about pkradman or subwax have they been sniffing around ;D
-
Think its just been a wind up :( but its made the weekend a bit more exciting :LolLolLolLol:
-
so which member was it ? i reckon its gotta be a burner boy, who else would think they were valuable
-

One burner boy was intrested and i believe offered £4000 the rest of us dont have that much cash ;D

All sounds a bit fishy ...........
Did someone mention food , yum yum :D
-
A few years ago I went to Joe's bike shop on one of my road trips one Saturday - in between picking up a Quad, Haro Sport, Vector bars, Torker Stem etc etc and later a loopy Floval F&F >:D
Was a good day that ::) but there wasnt anything goodies to be had in the shop part at Joes. Who knows what lay behind the scenes though. Had a nice chat with the old guy though.
-
why would he state dia-compe brakes and other brakes if he had no knowledge of o/s bmx, also seems a bit strange that its only bmx bikes and parts and not other types of bikes. hope no one gets fleeced.
-
Hi guys, 1st post
I emailed these people, got the same response as others!
However, having now thought about it, Raleigh didn't box bikes in the 80's, they simply put cardboard sleeves around them...
That makes me think that these bikes were either fiction, or alot newer than anyone thought...
-
Welcome Peet and you're dead right, cardboard shrouds! The plot thickens......
-
The ad said the shop closed 84ish... bit vague
What if it closed down in the nineties and the diamond backs and mongoose's were pos completes worth next to nowt.... :LolLolLolLol:
-
i did find it strange someone would keep ther shop shut for over 20 years but continue to pay rates etc
-
i did find it strange someone would keep ther shop shut for over 20 years but continue to pay rates etc
my thoughts exactly.I said this on Burnerworld,strange if the owners were the 'outright' owners of the property then why keep paying rates on a shop that is not generating any kind of income back for them,also if it was only leased,then i would have thought that the original owners of the shop would have wanted it back open to generate an income for the shop,not keep it shut up for some 20 odd years :idiot2:
-
Up until 2008 you'd get 50% business rates relief if it were vacant, now your still liable to pay 100% with just the first 3 months relief. And this place doesn't look like it could be considered vacant anyway.
-
its all bloody exciting waiting to find out but if its too good to be true.... generally...
-
this shop couldnt have closed in the 80,s as the dialling code on the shop phone number is 01484,
the 1 was introduced to the dialling code in the early/ mid nineties. :)
-
I reckon the boxed Diamond Back's were Leary's, they came in a Box. :daumenhoch: :LolLolLolLol:
