Love that comment a true haggler  :LolLolLolLol:

Peter j if I do ever sell it I will contact you mate but at the mo it's a keeper as like you said I also have been looking for one for ages
And in all honesty how could I put a price on what I paid

Post by: Peter J on October 12, 2010, 04:58 PM
This is one of the bikes that I remember from when I was a boy

One of my mates had one and it was the only one in the area...we all thought it was really cool becuase it was rare  :D

Well done on such a steal  :daumenhoch:

Thanks mate
But keep looking as if I could find one then someone else has one
The killer was the advert just said boy Bmx bike
And I wouldn't normally look only I spotted the star and couldn't type fast enough
Funny how it's just right time right place

Only problem is I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time  >:D

i bought a mint gt thud for £20 and just recently bought my nipper a 93 gt performer for £20 went to collect it and the bloke said give him £15 as it had a puncture! :wtf: :LolLolLolLol:

Post by: Rodgy1970 on October 12, 2010, 06:03 PM
that's rare bird alright, £20 is for nothing, great pick-up   :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: diamondback pro star
Post by: Bob_Acid on October 12, 2010, 06:37 PM
So let me get this straight.

You bought the bike on ebay for a score and then put it up for sale in here for £200

But you were just kidding  ???
Title: Re: diamondback pro star
Post by: oldskooldayz on October 12, 2010, 07:15 PM
Yep that's correct

You see I new that loads of peeps on here would be looking at this as well an I wanted to know exactly who and fast and the best way to do that is  to offer it up for sale  ;D

I also have a wanted add up for decals if you don't believe me
It was never for sale I've been looking too hard and long for one to pop up to want to sell it
And if I do sell it 200 won't buy it regardless o what people think of it, you just don't see pro stars around at all really

Cheers

Would just like to say thanks for all the comments and I hope by whT I did I havnt pi**ed anyone off it was just that I needed to know
Who else was looking at it and making offers on it

So no hard feeling

Cheers

I know of a DB Pro Star complete with all original parts, thats sitting in my mates back garden for years (this is not a wind up). Only downside is, its as rusty as anything, even the rims have rusted away, but the rest is salvagable. I'm trying to pursuade him to restore it.
As "oldskooldayz" has said they never turn up. So my question is this, how much is one really worth?
