Sold a bike on saturday, sent it tuesday, it mustve arrived with them today and BLAMMO
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Old-BMX-Bike-1981-Lew-Ways-Trakstar-16-/120894426159?pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item1c25de8c2f
BIN price is an £79 mark up and postage is a £20 [ I know it only costs £10 to post it as i only did it on Monday on P4D.]
He's omitted from the listing the huge hole in the seat post, and used my fooking pics, but omitted the money shots that show the peeling paint, how fooked the chrome is on the forks and the seatpost
I cant believe I had a little bit of remorse about selling it to him for £65inc postage. Good luck to him!
Give him some shlt radsters. . . . pretty please xxx
-
Noticed this straight away Jaymz. Saw your bike on Gumtree first too then rb.com. Must be very galling! >:(
I even got annoyed a few weeks ago when I sold some cheapo red comp 3s for £12.50 posted then saw them go up for sale for £20 ;D
-
report him to ebay for copyright on your original photo's and surely if you leave feedback potential buyers will see this and not want to bid above what they just bought it for :daumenhoch:
-
I sold it through gumtree, so no feedback to be left. I dont mind him trying his luck to be honest, I just think the chancer deserves to get some major hassle, I reckon he'll be lucky to get £30 on an auction, he has a reserve set so I think he's going to end up keeping it
-
What a b**lend :shocked:
Good old flippers eh?
-
I may message him and say that it looks like my Son's bike that got stolen from the Hereford area last week, he may sh4t himself that he's handling stolen goods and pull the listing. :laugh:
-
i reported some feck wit that used a couple of pic's of one of my boomboxes to sell his - turned out he was a fake account and not even in this country ::) - reported it twice to ebay who did fook all :2gunsfiring_v1:
in the end i said that i had traced his where abouts and alerted the police who were very interested in this case and would like a word - he tried to put up a buy it now price for 15 mins to see if any one bit - but no go so he disappeared ::)
ebay no help - but you could try ;)
i think we should all tell him, it's a rare bike and worth £500 +
then watch as he thinks he's onto a winner ;D

Good shout that B - i'm on it. :daumenhoch:

i asked -
hi.. any ideas what size the wheel bearings are ? also any skid damage on rear tyre ? many thanks
quite annoying but also genuine sounding! :LolLolLolLol:
-
I sent him:
Hi Lee, i'm not sure how much you know about BMX's, but that bike you're selling is worth so much more than what you've got the BIN price up for. I sold one exactly the same for £470 + postage not even a year ago, it seems that the cheaper the bikes in the 80's, the more rare and valuable they are. Just helping you make a decent sale.
He'll be gutted when he reads that. :LolLolLolLol:

:LolLolLolLol:
I like it,
I cant ask questions as my ebay name is part of my email address and he's got that!!
Some one as him if they are DC MX1000's with quick release!!
-
Wot a knob ill get a question in Jay :daumenhoch:
let's see the reply to this ;)
Hi nice lil bike you have there, can you tell me the history of this bike please, was it yours as a kid? or was it your kids? always good to know the history my friend sometimes makes the purchase even better when it has a story behind it.

I asked how many owners its had :daumenhoch:
-
Q: Hi, these were susceptible to a bit of rust, has this one any rust, peeling paint or holes?
A: It has some rust but nothing to bad at all
O really

Q: hi.. any ideas what size the wheel bearings are ? also any skid damage on rear tyre ? many thanks
A: Not sure about bearings and the tyres are ok
they have tread yes, but are cracked

He replied to me with this:
I have just started in the vintage bmx game, I'm currently building a raleigh r4000, I only paid £65 for this last week,
just thought I would try and make a quick profit, your price seems a bit high but i guess if the right person the right time
is willing to pay then all good,
Lee

Just asked if the staue is included in the sale, If i were to use the buy it now would he include it? i've been after one for ages :LolLolLolLol:
-
think we need some more "do you know that your bike your selling there is worth near £500 - don't miss out get the price up and good luck with the sale"
:angel:
-
Ill say this is on nearly every BMX enthusiasts most wanted list...!
-
Based on the size of the Easter Island heads that bike must be HUGE :shocked:
I'm gonna ask him to measure the holes in the gusset to see if it is a 'copy' or not :daumenhoch:
-
ive just sent him this :daumenhoch:
hi im pretty tall 5ft 1.5in will my knees hit the bars if i ride the bike over whoop de doos?
would it also be possible to fit a bit of card to the spokes to make it sound like a motorbike
-
just asked if you can still pull a wheelie on it and what the tyre tread depth is :daumenhoch:
-

-
I see he's added this to his listing:
"PS ! Im lovin all the funny messages from all you RAD BMX Guys ! I Cant wait to wake up in the

:coolsmiley:
-

Hi U Guys, Its Me The terrible man who bought the Trackstar,
Really Enjoying all your comments about the situation, I don't really have to explain myself but here goes
After I Purchased the bike from James, My central heating boiler took a turn for the worse over the weekend
So I think I will have to buy a new one soon, (about £800 - £1000)
As my Wife is about to have our first child so I Decided to put The BMX project on hold in favour of a new boiler
Many years ago before my father passed away a couple of lessons he taught me were A) something is only worth
what somebody will pay, and B) Profit is not a dirty word
Also There is no copyright on photos unless you put on on them yourself !!
Im Not really bothered If I sell the bike or not but a little profit would be a help, And I'm not really bothered about a few funny
comments on my ebay
So if any of you guys have actually reached puberty I think you will agree with my actions
Thanks Lee
-
Good on you for explaining yourself, like you've said you don't have too.
At the end of the day family matters over kids bikes 100% :daumenhoch: Jaymz is a good man and i'm sure he can forgive in a situation such as this :angel:
-
Loving the user name here on Rad,is it c-o-c-k-n-e-y rhyming slang for anything? :D
PS...GLWTS :daumenhoch:
-
:( It was fun while it lasted
No harm meant Lee. Just glad it got to you after the balls up with the tracking number going missing
-
Just like to point out though, that any photos a person takes are automatically copyright protected....They don't need to do anything to enforce that. :coolsmiley:
-
And suddenly it all went quiet! :crazy2:

Lets all have a massive fight...!! 3.30 outside school...!

I was always in detention for being the class clown so i had to stay til 4, unless i was really funny that day, then i had to stay til half four, once they told me i had to go in on a saturday morning, i told them to fook off and they sent me home for a week, bargain, didnt have to go in on a saturday and got a weeks holiday too, parents werent too impressed they sisnt see the funny side!
-
HHmm !! Dry bumming, Maybe I'm on the wrong site ?? all i want to do is play with my BMX'es

Dry bumming is very much part of the scene im afraid, that is after you've had your induction with The Diggler
-

Jaymz is a top boy and very well liked by all on here :daumenhoch:
of late we have had a few parasites taking the fun and love out of BMX with buying stuff very cheap ~ sob story from one guy and then a day later he puts it all on ebay for a well high price and we find out he didn't need it for a build but just rinsing the scene :knuppel2:
well done for coming on here and not blowing up - that is when the fun starts and peeps feed the fire >:D
good luck with sale - it might not be worth £500 though ;D

So now we have all made friends maybe you you can help me with my build, I have some questions I need answering
Im building a Raleigh R4000, and as a newbie I'm a little stuck on a couple of things
on the only original spec sheets i have looked at they are a bit vague on some items
a) Seat, just says blue aero, Will a Viscount aero be ok ? could do with not spending a fortune on a Kashimax !!
b) Im re furbing a set of araya aero's, Im changing them from gold to blue anodised, what hubs shall i use ? sun tour or suzui
See attached photo of project so far (the stem and seat clamp will be anodised blue as well)

This is best place for you
http://www.burnerworldforum.co.uk/index.php?c=1
look for a guy called glyn, he is THE font of all knowledge on US Raleigh frames. He is on here too, but doubtful he will look in the therad unless you mark it up as Raleigh related
here's your frame
(http://bmxmuseum.com/image/img_0139_copy1_blowup.jpg)

As Jaymz said Lee, look for Glynnyboy on here or BW, he's a real officianado on Raleigh Racing bikes, he's built some stormers. :coolsmiley:
As for building yours, would you consider a repop Kashi Aero, a fraction of the cost of an original.? ??? :daumenhoch:
-
NEIL... IM GONNA ASK HIM IF I SHOULD PUT BLACK TYRES ON MY BIKE OR STAY WITH THE BLUE ONES!
