Was a question from one of the lads on the london ride, I said on parts over the years thousands

madness I know but this hobby takes a hold and that's it! That for sale section is a killer

Not regretted it but Spiced rum gives you the Brave to buy things you wouldn't normally for that Price

The evil stuff made me buy some black 880's with tech 4s now I need to buy another bike to put them on

This has been on my mind for a while Matt and should also include trips to Germany, MK events, travel to races etc. . .

However overall I think it has been throughly well wasted!

Particularly in Germany :-)

hunterdubber · « **Reply #12 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:21 PM »

I'm not sure , somewhere between 20 and 30K gone out of my paypal for bmx stuff ,,
so more or less same as the average addicted collector on here who's not hen pecked .

Not alot in over 5 years ,,I could have spent the same on doing Golfs up and had a 5K car to show for it

So small change compared to the serious boys , the 50 to 100 K+ people

Long term collector will do over 20 K easy ,,,I bet Snav had double that in his shed and Meticulous's Loft ,,Poolysherriffs garage

nevermind Wildons house

meticulous · « **Reply #13 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:28 PM »

same as dubber me thinks, but now i'm selling up it seems i paid way too much for my nice stuff, now its not worth anything and people want it given to them....

animal · « **Reply #14 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:36 PM »

Stupid amounts and still counting

Misses will leave once the house is full

Now where can I find another nice MRD

hunterdubber · « **Reply #15 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:44 PM »

WOODY spends 20K in a week on here ,no problems

then sells it the following

markyp · « **Reply #16 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:45 PM »

far too much in the past two and a half years but only a fraction of what i earn so its kind of justified.i dont go out much these days so you could say its beer money thats not been spent,and i work for myself and pay myself peanuts each month which includes my bmx expendature in my monthly wage,so in summary still way to fookin much!!

Del · « **Reply #17 on:** March 01, 2011, 07:59 PM »

I wouldnt have a clue how much I've spent and to be honest I dont want to know! just in case the the other half reads this post!

retrogeezer · « **Reply #18 on:** March 01, 2011, 08:38 PM »

yeh, probably £20-30k but it's still worth money, has done better as an investment than money in the bank. It's better than smoking it away or drinking it away and I've met some great friends and had some great times because of it.....and money can't buy that.

brass monkey! · « **Reply #19 on:** March 01, 2011, 08:46 PM »

probably spent circa 20-25 grand too in the 6 years of collection, although have sold a lot in the past year...

my bikes were alll funded by the sale of my football memorabilia collection though which has netted around £30K in the past 5 years..... I'm down to the last few pieces, and down to 4 or 5 OS bikes too....

as retrogeezer said the BMX's have been a good investment, and a lot of fun too

mugs game

southern andy · « **Reply #20 on:** March 01, 2011, 08:53 PM »

Thankfully not that much at all. I've been quite lucky in what i find and where i find it. I generally scour car bootys and ebay for all the unwanted and unloved shit.

I'd be surprised if i'd spent 2k if i'm honest.

hunterdubber · « **Reply #21 on:** March 01, 2011, 08:57 PM »

Jammy git Andy

It's fookin quality getting a bargain buy

You've done right mate ,, getting exactly the same buzz and enjoyment , for less

southern andy · « **Reply #22 on:** March 01, 2011, 09:06 PM »

I know Christian, an MRD, a Rickman Pro, a Quad and a well rare Nishiki to name just a few mate. I recently picked up some NOS Haro Anlun pro bars for £20, i didn't need them but i weren't leaving them there for that.

Don't get me wrong, i love seeing some of the ££££ builds people do but i couldn't justify spending that sort of cash. Well, what i mean to say is if i did the wife would rip my balls off

In2 bmx · « **Reply #23 on:** March 01, 2011, 09:17 PM »

10k in 18 months , but happier for it . I spent a fooking grand at my first Mk last year

Beer buys are the best

I bought a belter last weekend ..
