Hi,

I've been looking at one one the bay for a while now & we all know something is only worth what someone is prepared to pay.

The guy wants nearly £1400 for a survivor F & F set from 83' but is this reasonable in terms of price & what people have been paying or is this totally over priced as it's on the bay ??

Hard one to guesstimate, eGay is full of shillbidders and non payers so some prices should be taken with a pinch of salt imho. On here you are looking at about 800 quid or so.

He's come down but not that much, taking out fees etc . i was thinking about 800 would be about right to be honest...

£800 is about right, ebay is full of dreamers price wise, it wouldn't make £1400 in auction

Stick a wanted ad up, there's plenty of em about, around 3500 were made so they're not that rare

Cheers mate, I'll do that , I assumed this one (although nice) was too pricey hence the reason why he hadn't sold it !

Always fancied one but I've just left my job & i'm setting up my business at the moment which means pretty much no income for the next 12 months ......

I've built 7 bikes since i started in November & need more room at home too so I though that i'd get one of these just in case i don't have the opportunity down the line & i can slim down my collection (freeing up some room & cash for the business)......

I know its not much of a collection but it's taking up most of the spare room & I've got to admit i do consider the original Haro Freestyler a bit of an iconic piece ....

Decisions decisions......
