Title: Another one at it!
Post by: That Swan Guy on May 28, 2012, 03:28 PM

It's not the Skyway bit as he states replica, however the GT part sucks. I pointed out to him that it was neither a Skyway nor a GT he sent this reply:

Dear nickswan1,

Hence the word believed

- potato37

So after pointing out it was no longer BELIEVED this followed:

Dear nickswan1,

Not by you but thousands others if it's not for you stop looking and do something less boring instead..... Why don't you !!!

- potato37

Feel free to bother him some more :daumenhoch:

Now I've received this:

Dear nickswan1,

Right owe captain intense.... Google the words "replica" and "believed "..... If you can't work that out as being honest I doubt you could even ride a old school piece...enjoy the sun by your PC

i've just mailed him , it went something like this -

You state you have owned this from the start , i find this hard to believe as it's clear to see you don't have a clue as to what you have as it's neither GT or a Skyway and doesn't even have Tuffs (wheels)

    i'm really going to p155 him off to night , wonder if we all do it enough will he pull the listing  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

I did chuckle at this...


On 28-May-12 at 20:00:05 BST, seller added the following information:
AS AN EBAY MEMBER STRUGGLED TO UNDERSTAND THE LISTING DUE TO BEING AT HOME WITH NO DOUBT HIS TROUSERS ON THE DECK WATCHING "BMX BANDITS" ( EBAY MEMBER "TRAVISBARKINGMAD") THE LISTING STATES, THIS IS BELIEVED TO BE A GT, I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS NOT A GT BUT THAT'S WHAT I WAS LEAD TO BELIEVE. THE BMX WAS PURCHASED AT HOT WHEELS IN 1985 IN CHRISTCHURCH, ALSO IT CLEARLY STATES REPLICA OF A SKYWAY, ITS NOT A SKYWAY "WELL DONE"..... IT HAS NOS PADS, DECALS ETC, THE WHEELS ARE NOT TUFFS SKWAYS BUT REPLICAS AGAIN AS LISTING POINTS OUT.... IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE LOOK OF THE BIKE .....JOG ON ..... ANYONE IS WELCOME TO SEE THE BIKE BEFORE BIDDING.... ABUSIVE EMAILS WILL BE DEALT WITH.

If it wasn't for the decal on the top tube I would have been fooled........

Those angled tuffs look sweet, probably specially made for him  ;D

I hate stupid replica TA's......   


Also the bell end is abusive and has his mobile number on the listing. If only I was 14 again.......

Only needs an old wicker basket on the front with a shrivelled up baked potato in it , and he could say it's a Kuwahara!!!!

I've got to say this is a great thread,and I've noticed that the seller's ebaY username is Potato...but I will conclude that by selling that pile of rubbish he should indeed be called Mr.Potato-Head!!!.Even more disturbing is that it has bids on it!! :wtf:.It would be embarassing to own that and to cap it all off the choice for photo-shoot location is nothing short of hilarous!! :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:.
   It's good to know that there are still people out there that can amuse the Rad Community!!

   Regards Nick.

Item 330740075450 is no longer available

Looks like he's done the right thing - and given it to the scrap man instead.

I love the way he tries it on with "I HAVE OWNED THIS BIKE FROM THE START, ITS AN ORIGINAL 1985 BMX AND WAS PURCHASED AT HOT WHEELS IN DORSET IN 1985, UNSURE OF EXACT MODEL OR MAKE"

So you mean to tell me that you went into a shop in 1985 and bought a bike from them that no one knew what it was?  fooking twonk!  what a POFS!  :crazy2:
Title: Re: Another one at it!
Post by: griff on May 30, 2012, 10:50 AM
I wonder what the difference is between NOS STOCK, NOS and ORIGINAL NOS?

one good thing, he'll consider the BIN if the price is right (how much do you think he'll accept to put it in the bin?)
