Post by: Nosnod on December 14, 2005, 05:35 PM: I am not clued up on SE and was thinking the same. Is it the low feedback but he seems to be selling quite a few other BMX parts??

Post by: silentpartner on December 14, 2005, 09:58 PM: probaly wasn't listed where the mass's would see it, ie. bmx, old school bmx, or it would have gone. break the parts down and its worth more than £200. drop the guy an email, see if he'll let it go, instead of relisting. ;)

Post by: Geth on December 14, 2005, 10:16 PM: With the name of the seller I would guess its Mike Wong who owns Dialled Bikes.

Post by: Bren Gunn on December 15, 2005, 08:52 AM: I would say someone has made him an offer and that's why he pulled the auction. If it is a cromo quad it's rocking horse plop :santa_afro:

"he who dares, wins! Rodders" ;D

Post by: gmac on December 15, 2005, 10:18 AM: I won his auction for the MKS Grafights last night. I have paid via PP, but haven't heard anything yet. I was a bit worried about the lack of feedback, especially as he's been registered since May '03, but I went ahead anyway. Everyone has to start somewhere.

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

I have his e-mail if you have only sent ebay messages. If you want it, let me know.

Cheers

Guy :)

Post by: Waxintaxin on December 15, 2005, 11:21 AM: Same as bren , if its cromo then its very rare and worth every penny , but if its reynolds its not such a good buy but still worth 200 .

Title: Re: whats the deal with this guys
Post by: Waxintaxin on December 15, 2005, 01:54 PM: Yea but not as many cromo ones were made so fewer exist , hence the rarity value .
I think SE run out of reynolds and could not get more in in time , so they made a few in cromo or something like that , seem to remember that sa being the reason , but not 100% sure

Title: Re: whats the deal with this guys
Post by: theRuler on December 15, 2005, 01:58 PM: a likely story.
i bet they run out of quality REYNOLDS tube, so they raided the nearby ironhorse factory for it's low grade steel pipes.
