Sets from the USA at silly prices too..
Your better off buying a not so popular old school, mid school completes with tuffs which works out cheaper.

Post by: Smidsy on February 25, 2019, 01:00 PM: I guess its because it costs seller to set a reserve.

But yeah sets of Tuffs are way overpriced by some.

Mind you that 80's BMX parts generally...crazy world.

STOP PAYING SILLY PRICES PEOPLES!! (otherwise the prices will stay high).

Seen that one Damo..
But it’s the cheapo tuffs double arm type, not Tuff 2’s..
But it’s mad you could buy a complete with tuffs fitted for the same price of a set of tuffs on there own..

Post by: P J Tunni on February 25, 2019, 04:23 PM: Don't understand that either, i've only sold a few bits on eBay, but surely you just list them as Buy it Now for the price you wanna get and not list them as an auction? Simple!

Your correct mate..

Like I said a complete is sort of cheaper and you have bits to flip..

Post by: Chilli Rinse on March 13, 2019, 06:59 PM: So I just won a 1984 minigoose frame set, only bidder £84. Order was cancelled 1 min later. Reason item out of stock or damaged. So why don’t the sellers just pass the listing fees for reserves or best offer on to the buyer and let us decide if we want to pay what they want. It’ll be re listed no doubt. It’s not the buyers fault if nobody else bids and we get a bargain. In the past the buyer had to agree to an order being cancelled, not anymore.

Just got a message “ it sold yesterday “ no indication it was listed elsewhere in the listing though. Testicular duo :LolLolLolLol:
It was just going to hang in the garage for a while no doubt. Ah well, rant over, seller off of my saved list!

Post by: Ady on March 13, 2019, 09:45 PM: This has happened a few times to myself ::)
I never leave neg feedback but lately I do.
Why list it with no reserve asking for trouble :knuppel2:
