Not regretted it but Spiced rum gives you the Brave to buy things you wouldn't normally for that Price

The evil stuff made me buy some black 880's with tech 4s now I need to buy another bike to put them on :LolLolLolLol:

This has been on my mind for a while Matt and should also include trips to Germany, MK events, travel to races etc. . .

However overall I think it has been throughly well wasted!

Particularly in Germany :-)

I'm not sure , somewhere between 20 and 30K gone out of my paypal for bmx stuff ,,
so more or less same as the average addicted collector on here who's not hen pecked . :)
 Not alot in over 5 years ,,I could have spent the same on doing Golfs up and had a 5K car to show for it  :crazy2:

So small change compared  to the serious boys , the 50 to 100 K+ people  :shocked:


Long term collector  will do over 20 K easy ,,,I bet Snav had double that in his shed  and  Meticulous's Loft ,,Poolysherriffs garage

nevermind Wildons house   :crazy2:

Post by: markyp on March 01, 2011, 07:45 PM
far too much in the past two and a half years but only a fraction of what i earn so its kind of justified.i dont go out much these days so you could say its beer money thats not been spent,and i work for myself and pay myself peanuts each month which  includes my bmx expendature in my monthly wage,so in summary still way to fookin much!!  :2funny:

I wouldnt have a clue how much I've spent and to be honest I dont want to know! just in case the the other half reads this post!
Title: Re: How much have you spent on Rad and Ebay?
Post by: retrogeezer on March 01, 2011, 08:38 PM
yeh, probably £20-30k but it's still worth money, has done better as an investment than money in the bank. It's better than smoking it away or drinking it away and I've met some great friends and had some great times because of it.....and money can't buy that.
Title: Re: How much have you spent on Rad and Ebay?
Post by: brass monkey! on March 01, 2011, 08:46 PM
probably spent  circa 20-25 grand too in the 6 years of collection, although have sold a lot in the past year...

my bikes were alll funded by the sale of my football memorabilia collection though which has netted around £30K in the past 5 years..... I'm down to the last few pieces, and down to 4 or 5 OS bikes too....

as retrogeezer said the BMX's have been a good investment, and a lot of fun too :daumenhoch:

mugs game  :LolLolLolLol:

Thankfully not that much at all. I've been quite lucky in what i find and where i find it. I generally scour car bootys and ebay for all the unwanted and unloved shit.

I'd be surprised if i'd spent 2k if i'm honest.

 :angel:

I know Christian, an MRD, a Rickman Pro, a Quad and a well rare Nishiki to name just a few mate. I recently picked up some NOS Haro Anlun pro bars for £20, i didn't need them but i weren't leaving them there for that. :coolsmiley:


Don't get me wrong, i love seeing some of the ££££ builds people do but i couldn't justify spending that sort of cash. Well, what i mean to say is if i did the wife would rip my balls off  :LolLolLolLol:

Not those 3 Si mate but my last booty find was a Mongoose cali special (gussett goose)

The Rickman was a £54 ebay buy though  :smitten: it included an early Unstamped Hutch seat clamp, a DK stem, Redline forklifter bars and a few other named bits.
I'm ever hopeful something will turn up soon at one though as MRD, SRE and Rickman were all born down in the south.

Probably 6K over 7 years but must turn over at least 1.5k a year at the moment as try to keep it self financing as much as possible (and change bikes as my tastes / needs change).

If somebody told me 8 years ago I'd have spent this on BMX I would have laughed at them but had so much fun doing it it's unreal  >:D
