Title: More mad prices
Post by: Glen on January 09, 2009, 11:40 AM
Slightly over priced?!   :idiot2:   The frame, forks, bars and  seat are worth some, but the rest is nothing special at all.  Certainly no where near £2270.11

Once again, Biagio sets the trend  ::)

Those tyres are around, but people now seem to hold on to them to make a few extra quid.


Back to the topic... I remember reading somewhere that that Pliska bloke had a whole bunch of bikes listed on a free listing day on ebay, so if they sell, they sell, if they don't, then no big deal.
You can guess he is not in a hurry to get rid  :LolLolLolLol:

I could only find white ones which seem more common..Biagio had that set listed at £89 starting bid when I was looking but then Dave sorted a set.
Supply and demand..saying that I would expect Biagio to be more expensive as he is a business.

Realtorken's the thieving cnut who sold me some Elf hubbed wheels and Elf Pro Bars and then didn't even bother to send them to me!!

I emailed and even phoned him up but he just ignored me!!

I got my money back off paypal and he then put up the Elf Bars on ebay again.   They had the same fookin picture too!!

They sold for less money than I actually paid for them!!

I hope he gets ripped off!!

both are ridiculous money. that pro long is just a jmc, nothing special, not even a set of flights on it. piss taking muggy c**t. and that nomura, he is having a laugh. they are rare, but not very special. bit of a marmite frameset. never worth that money. fookin chancer.
