http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php'topic=95825.0

"If I had the money I would defo buy these"      or    "please someone buy these before I do"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Got to be the most useless statements of all sale threads.


 AINT GONNA BUY, DONT REPLY ........catchy and true.

Good job I believe in this too otherwise  I would have to choose between being a c0ck sucking arse licker, a wimp or a mod!!!!!! ( I think you got too personal with your categories, maybe a do you agree, dont you agree would keep this poll running longer as I can imagine it will get shut down.)

for sale threads should only have replies concerning buying the items

none of this "oh that's a bit steep" "you're having a laugh" etc etc.

if you think it's too much money or aren't interested in buying, move on.

for the record I've not seen the thread in question, and usually for my for sale threads I start them with:

"feel free to slag me off, bitch about the items etc etc cos I love a free bump"

Personally, I think it was the brake rub which killed the sale.  Not everyone is down on painted Tuffs so maybe a respray would be needed to get them on their way...

neil i kinda understand your frustration, but this is to be expected when you paint tuffs, if i remember you asked eveyones opinion before you painted them and it was an overwhelming NO. The true bmx restorer restores parts they dont look for the quick easy option, so you have to understand their frustration when they see os parts being ruined. Just my humble opinion for what its worth

Just my humble opinion for what its worth

What Matt said reflects my opinion 100%

I cannot think of anything more disheartening then to see a perfectly good set of yellow skyways de-faced in such a way. Let alone to then see them trying to be sold for a massive price of £160

My initial thoughts were - just how long it would take to restore them to their 'Original' condition. Which in truth probably isn't worth the hassle (just too many hours to scrub and clean them)

well you did ask and there you have it

hope that helps  :daumenhoch:

True.... but I think it goes further than that, its about protecting the hobby and its about informing newbies.

your price of £160 for these wheels takes the piss out of the sport and its got peoples backs up.

If it goes unnoticed or ignored than next month more might think it acceptable and then 'what do you know' everythings getting sprayed and marked up in price.

I'm guessing there's about 40 hours worth of work involved in restoring these skyways properly now.

If you wanted white skyways - why didn't you just buy a set from Ed at coloredtuffs.com or hang out till you found some original ones??

This is just my feelings on the subject they are no more or no less (they are no meant to be offensive)

Personaly no to painted ruffs,
as for the coments on the for sale thread that will always
happen, people will always leave remarks or coments,
I personly don't think it would pit people off buying
these as you was up front with the discription,
at the end of the day this is a free country and I like others
will and always say what I want to say, just think you
are blowing this out of the water, I've seen mummers threads
reach 10 pages on remarks, so you are not the first
or the last to have snide digs at you.
Just what I think :daumenhoch:

Post by: TwoBobRob on October 01, 2009, 11:49 AM
I'm not qualified to comment on the ethics involved in restorations, but I would say that there's a distinction to be drawn here.

 If you just want single line classified ads where its completely dog eat dog, then the mods could lock every thread to prevent these remarks, and sales could be conducted by pm. Everything gets automatically deleted after a set period, say, 1 month.

But we don't want to go down that road do we?

 This is supposed to be a community after all. The marketplace is secondary (or should be) to the community. As with everything else in life, there's going to be some bumps along the way, it's never a smooth road all the time. I think being able to bitch and moan, force your opinion and/or fight back is something to be embraced and long should it live.

Of course we all have choices in life. THere's always Ebay.

£160 quid for a pair of painted tuffs comes across a piss take...i'm not saying you took this stance, but it looks like your trying to profiteer out of what appears to be a disaster.

getting a bit of your money back and thinking it was worth a try, so say 60 quid , and sold as 'a good idea that turned out shit in the flesh, but kind of glad i tried' kind of thing ???

i didnt want to say that on your for sale thread, becuase that is out of order, but as others have gone half way there and you've asked for peoples opinions, then fook it, there it is  :D

who gives anyway..you build some awesome bikes, and this is something you tried and it didnt work out..

no big deal. :daumenhoch:

BINGO - That's it right there - you took a £110 pair of yellow skyways and painted them white, thus reducing their value to £50/£60 max.

I'm sorry that all your hard work painting them has no appeal to some of us, but they're no longer of any use to those of us that put a value on 'original & unmolested'.

I can't understand why you can't understand that.......

I'm going to go and bash my head on a wall now - that's my last words on this

can i refer you to pickles original statement, when you painted them you knocked a zero off the value, we live and sometimes learn, hey ho time to move on, and next time DONT PAINT EM   :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: should people be able to ruine threads
Post by: moley on October 01, 2009, 04:14 PM
Everybody is under the assumption that just because you bought something for this price that you should sell it for a similar price.

In most cases this works okay unless you paid way over the odds in the first place.

But turning yellow into white tuffs by painting them seriously affects their resale value.   So knocking £15 off the price you bought them for is too low IMHO.

You should have just spilt the tyres and freewheel and offloaded the wheels at a far lower price and hopefully the tires and freewheel would recoup their prices you bought them for.   If the tires are rare then maybe up the price if the market allows.

Anyway, you messed them up Neil so you should be prepared to take the financial hit!!

As others say.........you live and learn!!

just a thought,in all fairness to n2cus,is there much difference in dying a yellow Kashi to black or painting a pair of wheels a different colour.at the end of the day,it been re-finished.as i said just a thought no  :tickedoff: intended.

allways get your facts right before you shout and ball :idiot2:

What colour were they ??

Don`t tell me you sprayed white tuffs white  :idiot2:

I'm intrigued now - I was of the belief they were yellow first

what were they originally then?

The tuffs were originally white , worth the £110 Neil paid and pretty damn clean ( there's a thread in Tech/Resto with before pics ) . Once painted IMO worth much less because to get back to OG finish much time and some cash would be needed to rectify . 

That's just my opinion Neil , not meant for you to take offense or an attack in any way .

picking and choosing peoples ability to post on a thread you start has been available since day dot, just lock the thread when you start it, end of. BUT, if you leave it open to reply, you don't get to pick and choose who posts what and about whatever otherwise it's not a forum any more. long live freedom of choice and wrangler jeans.

dilema   what should i do now  .........


 1 strip the paint off see if i can save them ..............then every one will love me again
 2 just put them in the cupboard and leave them for years
 3 or put them in a skip


reading back over the thread i think i might have done the wrong thing by painting . i am still happy how they look . every one who has seen them in the flesh agreed they looked great

End of the day

The title wasn't misleading

Break down the price of freewheel and tyres , was it really extortionate ?
 most people pm with a an offer to knock some off the price, anyway ( cheekyfooks  ;D )


Neil get them on the Ebay,

This topic has gone well out of proportion, they should have just been left to sell or not to sell without comments

if no one wanted em the topic should have just gone down the pages into oblivion

I've had people comment before in sales (usually Wiganers) and I  let the thread die

it is a free community of speech,,, but there are some guidelines too , laid down by those in charge, so they have the last say  :)

They do say ,"there's no such thing as bad publicity "  :D

why should a sale differ than any other thread? lock it to keep it no replies otherwise it's just another thread with bmx stuff and opinions.
same as always referring to anybody who has anything to say you don't like as bmx police. does that make you a bmx chav trying to dodge past the long arm of the bmx law :LolLolLolLol:

If the question is "should people be allowed to ruin threads?", if I vote "Agree" does that mean I agree they should be allowed to ruin threads, or I agree that they shouldn't be allowed to ruin threads?

should people be allowed to ruine threads.

agree, meaning yes, you agree, people should be allowed to ruine threads, was my take

i dont know what ruine means, so i agreed incase its good and i'm missing out

i've since found out its latin for ruin, and i love owt like that anyway.

latin eh?

neils full of suprises :D
