I don't want to get into the hoohaaa of the big post of yesterday but it opened my eyes to the status of the Haro Gen 1.
Without getting involved with that post, how much would a haro Gen 1 in a box be worth?
Obviously its as much as someone is willing to pay but are we talking £1000, £2000, £5000
Why is this product so sought after?
I was also suprised at the price of some shamano dx pedals on the bay yesterday that went for £350ish
Please discuss and help a clueless person out :rant: :daumenhoch:
-
well john good used ones go for about £750 to a £1000
so prob £2000 i reckon
-
Those silver DX's had shill bidding all over it mate! I sold a NOS gold pair for £150 two weeks ago. The DX's on the bay were at £140 after the 1st day! Silver the worst colour IMO.
I would pay £2k for a genuine NOS one.
-
Heres another maybe daft question....do we know how many gen 1's were manufactured? :coolsmiley:
-
take a look in the haro registry in tech, Jem has speculated from good serial information how many of each early haro may have been made
-
I would pay £2k for a genuine NOS one.
Why though, whats so special about the Gen 1?

why, they are shite :D
i fancy one too, so let me know when your about to fill your boots, so we dont bid each other up/out.... :daumenhoch:

Its a Investment given the History of Haro, i would pay £1000 for a nice un :-\

ask Rom Bloke he has 99% of them :LolLolLolLol:
-
that numty................i missed the thread,had to go out,log on today the thrad has vanished with him, anyways the gen 1 he was selling on ebay has now ended and it has SOLD written in the listing but on the upside he still has the reflex listed again,why not pm him? I AM CERTAIN HE ISNT CRACKING UP............RATHER WAS GOING TO ROB SOME POOR BLOKE ON HERE OR EBAY .

It was the first haro frame/fork set also the first freestyle specific frame built
Also a lot of peeps see it as their holy grail of os bmx, if you had one as a kid then you end up with a certain sentimentality towards them... and end up willing to spend a huge amount of dosh to own one again... :)
-
I have a real one, needs a rechrome though to get it minty and i'm in talks with rom bloke about that now to ensure its done properly. I'd get another for just the love of them and also for investment purposes too, although i'd never sell them, no matter what. A good condition one is worth at least 1k to 2k, NOS one more than 2k easily I reckon. If Terry Jenkins put his NOS one up with International Bidding it wouldn't surprise me if it reached 6k+ or more as there isn't many NOS ones about, well perhaps there are 3 in a loft somewhere in ireland :LolLolLolLol:
Matt ;)

depends on the price of scrap at the time
-
I know someone, a friend of an old friend I don't see anymore who had one, probably still does and probably hasn't got a clue of it's value as he was never really a bmxer and just used to pose on it up and down his road. As far as I remember it was in great condition, apart from the peeling betennisballed super pros.

Thanks for that mate, I got back into it for the sentimental thing, but it was the firebird freestyler for me. I know its not the same league, but it's cost me alot more than I initialy wanted to.
The Gen 1 is obviously a highly sought after bike for a possible £5K+ price tag for a minter.
Is it THE sought after bike, and do you think an untouched example in a box exists (apart from the store in Ireland ;D)

do you think there is a NOS one out there?? ??? ???

Who has these mythical 3 NOS in a loft in Ireland then

-
no secrecy (???) you got me going there now...
anyhoo - it went on all sunday night - dragged everyone on for hours about how he had them in his loft but he had a bad back yada yada yada was waiting for a mate - then could'nt get his camera to work then couldnt read the serial numbers - no one believed him in the beginning and then 5 odd hours later he decides to let everyone get to bed and admits that 'he fooled us all' well not exactly...
RAD doesnt need members like that!

If you do a search you should find the thread, it's from a few years ago though!!!

Not wrong mate, it was painfully drawn out and full of BS. Glad the cnut is banned :knuppel2: Anyhow, must be some NOS still wrapped Gen 1's out there apart from Terry Jenkins lovely example? ::)

Honestly i think a NOS Gen 1 would go about 2K maybe 2.5K and thats pounds and then if the seller was lucky
-
do we think adam will ever come back on here after the madness of that post :idiot2:
-
So how comes the one on ebay was upto 6k :-\ ???
-
I still think in the states a NOS one boxed would do £5k+, i've seen poor condition ones over here go for £1.2k on egay and that's without US shipping, if they would have opened that up then who knows. £5k me thinks for a NOS one! ;)
P.S. Adam may already be back on under another username, who knows... :-\

It's because they're such an iconic F&F, as has been said already, it was the first F&F that was designed just for freestyle. Terry Jenkins has a NOS one like Matt said but I'm sure there will be another one somewhere. There's one thing for sure though, they won't be in that retards fooking loft!
The only thing I don't get is that gen 1 & 2 Sports are a much rarer F&F but they don't command such prices as the Gen 1's do.
Strange but true!

Hi all
The data below of production is from a while ago (I'm at work so don't have all the data), but is still pretty much correct. I have spent many hours on this and really carn't imagine it is very far out.
Personally, I think the price on a NOS Haro would depend on the model and serial. I could easily see a Gen 1 (not Gen 2) Freestyler (un-welded) and low serial making serious money. Also any other low serial (Sport or Master - Gen 1 and Gen 2).
For me, I would prefer a low serial number or a documented famous riders bike rather than just a late serial / year and NOS bike / frame - I hope this makes sense.
I personally like the Gen 2 Master and Sports designs best. I would expect an NOS one of these to command the real serious monies as these (including Gen 1's) have low survivor numbers.
Another fact is the number of survivors, a NOS low production bike (Master or Sport) i'm sure would command more money than a late build date NOS Freestyler.
So, from what information has surfaced so far.
There would have been built - 001 to 820 maximum - Gen 1 Freestylers. (821 is a Gen 2 F - but believe it to be a Gen 2 F). There may also be a chance that there where variations of the Gen 1 (but proof is required).
So a maximum of = 820 Gen 1 Freestylers
There was between the sequence - 821 and 3882 (and not many more as the Gen 1 Master starts soon after) Gen 2 Freestylers.
So approximately = 3061 Gen 2 Freestylers
There was between the sequence of 3924 and 4599 (and not many more Gen 1 Masters as my Gen 2 is also July) Gen 1 Masters.
So approximately = 675 Gen 1 Masters
There was between the sequence of 4754 and 5931 (and not many more as production went overseas for the next NON TORKER BUILT Masters) Gen 2 Masters
So approximately = 1177 Gen 2 Masters
There was between the sequence of 0001 and maximum of 0440 (as the new date code came out for the Gen 2 Sport) Gen 1 Sports
So approximately = 440 Gen 1 Sports (Personally I think this could be quite a lot less)
There was between the sequence of 0441 and maximum of 0459 (and not many more as production went overseas for the NON TORKER BUILT Sport) Gen 2 Sports
So approximately = ?00 Gen 2 Sports (As a guess 200?)
Hope this helps.
