Title: BARN FINDS?? WTF??
Post by: deeman on October 28, 2014, 09:32 PM: I have noticed an increase on ebay of sellers including the words 'barn find' in listings, usually of old p.o.s BMX's. Is this a crossover from the classic car world? does it somehow increase the value of the p.o.s BMX? How many people actually find BMX's in barns?? Have the sellers been watching too many U.S car resto shows?? someone enlighten me! ::)

Agreed that an involuntary shudder slips down your spine when it's in a listing title but if it encourages people to dig about & fish their old poop out then that's great. For every 100 pos there's usually a gem or 2 :whistle:

Idiots who find/buy crap bikes for almost nothing, and think they can get top dollar prices. Really gets on my tits. Co*ksuckers!
