trying to find a fair pricing

[berndott]

Hey guys, thinking of letting my ET go, to make some space.
Posted a pic here http://www.radbmx.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,188932.msg1922022.html#msg1922022

What do you think is a fair pricing for it, i wont gift it to someone and dont wanna get the best last top dollar out of it...
oh and no i dont wanna Ebay it

Hi mate, I've got absolutely no idea what it might be worth. I'm sure the value varies greatly depending on whether or not it's a genuine E.T or a drilled out Hot Heart. There are a few ET owners on here, so hopefully somebody can help you out. Maybe put up a spec list and condition of parts, to give a help on valuation

Looks like a nice one. Should fetch around £1500 - £2000

Really... 
No wonder Hot Heart's get butchered.

Hard one, fair play to you for putting it to us. It's a minefield selling stuff, do you let it go for what you're happy for or should you have Richard Rawlings'd it and got top dollar?
Flippers make cash, collector's make friends.
It's a fine line though.

thanks for the input guys 
i am no fan of sending bikes all over the world so i think i talk to some of my german collectors and see what the fine line is

btw it a og t2 frame no hot heart 


Edit: i have a eye on this too, found it today

There was someone asking in the wanted section a few months ago if that helps.
Nice bike bud.
Was it your original bike.

[berndott]

thanks for the heads up, no not my og bike.
I know the guys who owned it and got it pink sprayed with green tuffs and a hutch fork and a torker bars.

og is frame, stem, clamp and pads... other parts are mostly new/nos. Rims and 890 are used bits.

Rich makes a good point .. if you sell on here to a trusted collector then you know it's not to be flipped..
Price depends on parts list.. OG parts v repops and better close ups ...
Yes some idiot may pay £2000 but who knows ...
I'd love one but to spend that much in one go is big money for most of us ...
