Well spotted Benno.
They're not described as alloy hubs are they... sneaky!
:wtf:
:nuts:
-
And not once does mention that they are NEW, just old school bmx wheels twice.
Definately a sneaky listing that :bellend:
-
Old school BMX wheels TTT naughty boy.
I smell a PayPal dispute coming up.
-
anyone that knows their stuff would see they have sealed bearings which would make you look hard at the hubs.
He would've had to paint the front hub silver as well or run some alloy around the hub flange as Kool kaps don't cover the coloured plastic fully on the front.
Tut Tut Tut "nono"

It's the Kool Kaps I was after!
Still, if its Kool stuff I want, Kool money I must pay!!
:crazy2:
-
No way they went for that money :LolLolLolLol:
-
To someone who has only just started collecting they would probably be easily fooled by the listing.
The length of the spindles give it away as well that they aint old school. Feel sorry for whoever bought them.
-
nice try though ::)
-
Anyone know where these went? :coolsmiley:
-
Yeah, back on eBay!!!!!!

I got this off him.
Dear ladysman.217,
Hi, to be honest I had no idea they would go for this amount and am a little taken aback! They were originally for my own build but decided not to use them. I appreciate your concerns, and obviously you are someone who has taken time to actually compare them to genuine 80s items. I know if I were prepared to spend that money I would do just that! I must point out that nowhere in the listing does it say they are genuine 80s NOS...
Cheers,
Tom.

Then I got this
Dear ladysman.217,
Whilst I agree now that yes, the listing could possibly have been misleading for some, but the phrase 'old school BMX' is used pretty readily for pretty much any retro or original BMX part these days on eBay. Perhaps I should have written 're issue', but hey. I did think the photos would do the good job, the rubber seals on the modern cartridge bearings are a bit of a giveaway, as is the lack of 'Skyway' stamped mark!
Unfortunately it does look like there might be a backlash now you've kindly pointed it out, which TBF I didnt expect, being a novice BMX builder myself...
Tom.

In between the two messages I stated that he shouldn't have used the words "old school wheels" and the best thing to do is message the winner and give them there money back unless its rwrightway2009 in Australia
:LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:
So he might have done the decent thing or the winner might have been a time waster for some strange reason :idiot2:
-
ha ha ha ;D
Cheers for contacting him :daumenhoch: h'es now added to the listing: "better than 'kool caps'", fair enough ::)
