Bought a haro lever for 99p and sold it for £20 few years later...

Most i have paid for anything is £160 which has happened twice.

A chrome Rickman freestyler f+f and a complete MRD pro survivor.

I will soon have 5 complete bikes when summer is over and have never paid more than that sum for any one part,preferring to restore ,trade and wait for bargains for what i need.

For the record my builds are

MRD Badlander
MRD Pro
2 Rickman freestylers
82 gusset goose

So proof you dont have to spend a fortune to have cool bikes if you are patient and got an eye for a bargain

In one purchase, my front Hutch Hub & rear SST 'Woody' Coaster Hub - $2500 which partly make up my most expensive bike, my Hutch 'Woody' Trickstar, silly money but to me worth every penny. £8500 all in.

£8500 in parts but how much to have her built up ?

You'll be going into administration soon J

Most expensive thing I've bought - hmm, few hundred on frame and forks. Nothing too extravagant.

I try not to keep track of what I spend just in case the wife finds it

bodamus · « **Reply #40 on:** April 03, 2012, 03:25 PM »

I think £650 is still the most I've I paid for a Frame and Forks and I still have it.

The most I have sold a Frame and Forks for is around £1300.

Muffski · « **Reply #41 on:** April 03, 2012, 09:57 PM »

£1450 gen 1 complete bike.

I Thought my 1986 Haro Master was a steel then got lamped by HMC then it needed the pegs and got lamped on customs with them

So My 1986 Haro Master Frame forks and Pegs all Powdered and Decalled owes me £650 when at the time a NOS 85 was £350, for me it had to be the 86 the bike I never owned as a kid

Jt · « **Reply #43 on:** April 03, 2012, 11:32 PM »

fook knows.

I bought a Darnell young full bike, with andy Patterson forks for a couple of hundred quid, and then did it up.

I try and sell my stuff for what I paid or as close as I can get for it.

Not a fan of turning a profit as I made my money elsewhere, but on some stuff it's unavoidable, so to avoid it I stopped selling stuff.

I don't think I have anything really expensive, justo few nice bits I acquired along the way.
