looks pretty clean to me, and with Chome LG's !

If I was the seller i'd have expected to get about £350 to £380 for it ???

In 84 they were about £170,  a firebird freestyler was £70 and a Quad in black was £180. For some reason a blue Quad was a bit cheaper. Haro's and Skyways were a bit cheaper than the Ripper but only by a few quid.
As far as I know the Ripper was only made of Aluminium, Landing Gear forks were Chrome Moly though.

How much was a trickstar BITD   ???

I would say that is about right for a nice Ripper  :daumenhoch:
