At that price, if you fitted it, how the hell would you appreciate it for the price it cost? Good luck to the seller.

Things like this dont matter. Everyone knows its way overpriced therefore it wont sell.

And have you seen the price of the other stuff they are selling..................................

item location: Bangkok

Smell the coffee lads, the black ones were all over here a few years ago at £9 in the same box then buy yourself a Tange Locknut for £20 and job done.

Have a look on me and my bikes at my copper Goose - you couldn't tell the difference if you changed the decals which were only £4 from Retrospect.

Saw a few of these last year in blue for £30 without the locknut but missed them. No way are they original.

It's Thailand,c'mon!!if they can fake a Breitling watch they can fake a headset!

I have spent some time in Thailand, Infact my wife is Thai.. some of the fake stuff is that good
this headset could be better than the original

Not naming no names but someone not to far from this post bought some win bars from myself off the bay for £30 BIN then put them up a couple of days later for £79.99 BIN. It's not just the Thai's who are at it, people closer to home weigh in with their fair share of over-priced goodies too !

Profit is not a dirty word..?
I make money from buying things from ebay and re selling them at a profit.. Deal with it..!!

Ooooh, Don't get your knickers in a twist !

Just find it ironic that you've posted on a thread about prices getting higher and higher after buying items and re-selling at a profit of over 150% !

This hobby/addiction is expensive at the best of times without charging big bucks for basically average parts.

Your right profit isn't a dirty word but extortion is !

Don't take it to heart pal. Let's just be realistic about what we sell and for what price !

Anyway you'd have to be demented to pay £80 or Win bars !

There's nothing wrong with making a profit...most people and businesses usually make a profit on something or other to survive.Making money off your mates is another matter,and thats what most people are on rad-whether you have met in person or not,mates who share the same passion.I have never made a profit off anything I have bought on here,always sell back for the same i paid,sometimes less.Another radster pm'd me a few days back because he was re-selling a seat i had sold him only a couple of days back because the right one came up,he was just telling me and checking i didn't mind,which of course i didn't.He bought the seat off me at a v.reasonable price and could have made a profit but chose not to,passing his good fortune on to the community.But hey,that's how most of us roll on here.You wouldn't buy something off a mate at mates rates and sell it straight away at a profit,well i wouldn't anyway!

^ wot he said

leehunt1 · « **Reply #23 on:** September 28, 2012, 10:33 PM »

Well for starters i have sold about 4 or 5 win bars for £80 and secondly I have sold about 350 items in the last
3 months to very satisfied customers..! and I bet a lot of them are members of Rad,
I take a chance a lot of the time importing parts from use and asia so I can sell to you guys..!
Am i really a bad guy..??
