Post by: AKGOFF on December 03, 2011, 10:44 PM: At one point that was upto £410 so someone obviously retracted their bid for one reason or another :-\

Post by: Devilock on December 03, 2011, 11:23 PM: fooking mental. Probably 'sleep bidding' then woke up & thought "what the cacking hell am i doing?!!"

Title: Re: Are they really worth that much...!
Post by: Devilock on December 04, 2011, 11:21 AM: Well it looks like there are even more people without sense as it is now at £410...! fooking ridiculous!

You're right there John ,, but it doesn't help when there's somebody shilling it up , it does create a bidding hype and escalates reasonable expected prices :-\

Is the Ebay seller not Zippy Simon Barnes , who used to be on here ???

There was a circle of at least 4 ex Rad forum members who I know regularly shilled for each other on Ebay ::)

Not saying Simon is one of them though

Post by: stu70 on December 04, 2011, 11:54 AM: You can tell the difference between a real JMC seatpost and a fake one by the stamp on the top of it, the genuine ones were stamped with the same tool that the back end of the frame top tubes were stamped with, because the top tubes had a larger diameter when it was used on the seatposts some of the full JMC crest was missing, like the one for sale here.

Still alot of money though.

Post by: JAY on December 04, 2011, 03:47 PM: I'm pretty sure all the repop posts were made short by mistake and that looks short to me, i know nothing about the stamps but would be worried about buying this post.
Title: Re: Are they really worth that much...!
Post by: Devilock on December 04, 2011, 03:50 PM: So what do we reckon will be the sale price...??
