First i don't know if this guy is a member in here

He has some good shit, bloody overpriced IMO (all of which he apparently "purchased from an old bmx shop whilst in the USA on holiday around 10 years ago" so he must have ha a BIG SUITCASE & a MASSIVE weight allowance as he has new Dia comp brakes & Sugino chain rings every week.

Regardless this advert did make me laugh as it does say (sold as seen) .

Anyway look for yourselves :

Nice blocks.....i wouldnt necessarily use them as brakes mind

Im pretty sure this guy lists like this quite regular, god knows why though? Seems a bit of a waste of time having to go back and edit a listing, just to put the correct photo on it?

Nice car seat by the looks of things !

It was just the (item sold as seen) comment & the bit that said (((((now becoming increasingly hard to find))) down the listing that made me laugh ! Mind you they will go with any coloured Tuffs which is a bonus

I may have bought an item or two from this seller - can't be 100% sure on that though. I've seen his listings before - as he sells so much stuff, they nearly all follow the same template listing, with the details for each item changed. I remember that he always has nice DC levers for sale. After clicking on the link and seeing his other items, he still has a load listed. I'd say his stuff is about 30-50% above what i'd consider top be a fair market value, but I suppose it is ebay, so there are listing/selling fees/paypal fees etc. Some nice stuff listed though...
