Title: This made me laugh?
Post by: Taipan on March 13, 2022, 09:56 PM
Ebayer  'Basically-smalltown-nick' 

lists a 24" VDC Gorilla as vintage 80's cruiser bmx 24 wheels chrome needing resto and knows nothing about it lol now judging by his other listings and description of those I think not lol ...its going to go crazy no doubt and probably make a pretty packet but c'mon listing it and saying he knows nowt about it lol what a load of BS!  :2funny: 

PS..he quotes in his description    'I have no idea on the make of the bike as its a bit before my time?'  ::)

PSS...so are you on here I wonder?  ???

He is.

I know Nick personally. He's a really good guy, trust me. Every time I have ever needed anything he has he sells it to me stupid cheap. Like this sprocket, he charged me ?15 for this.

He also gave me, free of charge, the Empire decals I wanted for my new school Kink.

Now, as for what he is saying on Ebay? trust me, that is 100% genuine. Nick is in his low 30s and is a pure midschool boy. To the core. He doesn't get too involved on social media or forums because of his life. He lost a child.

But seriously as people come and go? he is one of the best I have met during my time in this hobby.

The oldest bike he had was a 89. The rest? is/was all pure mid school. Now the last time I spoke with him he said he was getting rid of everything. So that adds up. If you want him on Facebook? let me know. Like I said, his prices on Ebay are the same as any one else's which is why it pays to know him. I've bought quite a few mid school bits from him.

Yeah it's a bit of a shock lol.

He knows what it is now, but man he was brave listing it like that before he knew. He's had it for ages apparently. Jammy bastard  :LolLolLolLol:

That was mental at the end,

It's paid, off to Malaysia, eBay took ?412 off on fees 😂😂😂😂
Not bad that I picked the bike up 2-3 years ago advertised as a mongoose for ?300
