Why is the Haro Copy frame thread locked in the For Sale section?

I must have missed something also, no idea why or who locked it.

I've locked me own thread by accident before - maybe he's done the same?

The seller knows he's having a laugh with the price and locked the thread before it descended into chaos.  Fellow solvent abusers can PM him their offers without getting ripped on...

£550 for a snide frame?   :wtf:

I have unlocked it again as I can see no reason why it should be locked.

Exactly what I thought.  I don't normally bash peoples threads but I seriously thought he may have hit the '5' key twice by accident!

£50 would be an OK price when you have to buy the forks too I guess, and then get it powdered.....  :-X

He did delete the original version of his Sale after a few 'comments' regarding the price...

Reposted and locked it.

I was expecting a re-list with a lower price, but it appears £550 is the asking price...  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Wonder if there is any word on those Pink Tuffs yet...?  ???

Let him ask what he wants for it - he just won't be able to sell it at that price.

Can we stop deliberately targeting the fella's threads. OK he didn't discover the bikes, OK he's fooked up describing some Tuffs, but he's not ripped anyone off yet etc - just don't get why his every mistake needs putting under the microscope?

Just my 2p's worth :)

Not ripped anyone off only because a few questions have been asked. Good job they have too. I'm not saying he is trying to rip anyone off intentionally, its just the prices outweigh the knowledge it seems.  :daumenhoch:

The way I see it is the price is exceptionally high. Verging on a total joke. Many rad users thought it was a mistake. He should have realised that he was flogging a dead horse relisting it at £450. After reading the comments in his first thread.  Now he must be either very stupid or smoking something!  By posting it again he was opening himself up to more abuse. Like what beard told him he is on a hiding to nothing he should stick it on eBay for a 99p start.  Instead of making himself look a total clown!  :daumenhoch:
