Title: Is it me or is this going mad!!!
Post by: gavking on March 24, 2007, 08:03 PM: Just been looking on evil bay and came across a raleigh burner Mk2 chrome with black tuffs on it.
Price at the moment is 225 quid.
Now I can remember them being common place back in the day on the street and dont think many people raced them unless it was a chromo or aero pro.
The lads at my local track and others we knocked round with didnt have them and didnt see many on the tracks.
Why did a torker go for 200 quid and a burner fetch more MMMMmmmm madness.

Post by: Waxintaxin on March 25, 2007, 12:51 PM: Yep , worth what the market pays

and thats what the market reckoned that was worth

its a fast moving hobby , and prices are steadily getting higher

and Burners are very collectible and lots of people want them

so they go for big money

still some more to go i reckon

And dont be suprised if Burners get more money than the " good " makes

more iconic lol >:D
