Just found a nice complete MBK mx 500 going cheap in Venezuela of all places. (yes i do frequent some obscure sites)

Too nervous to buy it but it got me thinking, where have you lot bought from in the past?

'Raper'? Is that really an occupation Rich? I think you mean rapist, or bottom enthusiast.

I struck a deal via text messages from an ad on gumtree. The lad gave me the address and it led me to a group of council tower blocks with a couple of houses at the side. The addy was for one of the houses but as I approached the house, a group of lads shouted over for me to meet them in the foyer of the tower block opposite. I went over and they passed me the bike.....which full on smelt like it had been in the loft with their weed factory.

As I wheeled it back to the car, I heard a couple of the lads mention "get the bike back". I got to the car.....grabbed a massive spanner and turned round to see the lads were walking back over to me, and then turned back around and ran the other way? The bike was obviously nicked

This was the first bike I bought when I got back into bmx 3 years ago. Bought it off eBay for 250 quid.
Seller said he was in Manchester so I knew it would be quite close close for collection.......

......Turns out he lives on my mums street.

!!!!!

What are the chance of that?

2 GTs from Switzerland via US ebay!

I once bought a bumper for a Mk1 escort from a guy in Stoke. I knocked on the door, he opened it, looked up and down the street then dragged me into the house. He couldn't get rid of me fast enough! Bit scary really
