At one point that was upto £410 so someone obviously retracted their bid for one reason or another $:-\$

It's a piece of metal really, you'd have to have more money than sense to buy that.

Devilock · « **Reply #11 on:** December 04, 2011, 11:21 AM »

Well it looks like there are even more people without sense as it is now at £410...! fooking ridiculous!

It's worth whatever it can be sold for. Lots of kit that was bin-fodder BitD is now revered and traded for huge sums

You're right there John ,, but it doesn't help when there's somebody shilling it up , it does create a bidding hype and escalates reasonable expected prices $:-\$

Is the Ebay seller not Zippy Simon Barnes , who used to be on here

There was a circle of at least 4 ex Rad forum members who I know regularly shilled for each other on Ebay

Not saying Simon is one of them though

You can tell the difference between a real JMC seatpost and a fake one by the stamp on the top of it, the genuine ones were stamped with the same tool that the back end of the frame top tubes were stamped with, because the top tubes had a larger diameter when it was used on the seatposts some of the full JMC crest was missing, like the one for sale here.

Still alot of money though.

I'm pretty sure all the repop posts were made short by mistake and that looks short to me, i know nothing about the stamps but would be worried about buying this post.
