As I say, not trying to upset anyone, just a bit taken back with the price, the ebay fees on that!

Agree with that, but at the other end of the spectrum I was viewing a complete survivor kz1 earlier that looked to be in great condition for just under 800, which I thought was quite a good price

me too, he must have got it from somewhere similar to the link in Clean's post

Black suede's a goer but for me the Dalmatian print should reside with disney not on a killer bike like that, sorry

Hi there, not offended by anyone's comments, it's my bike and has been since birth. Just put it up on eBay to gauge interest. It's been through a few different styles over the years and won a few Rad MK Trophies, but I think its time to move it on to somebody that would take time in it again. And remember it's not just rare as there were around 300 Freeflites made but 1 of 1 so if I listed it at 99p and had one bid I would not be a happy man, that's why in the listing I have said open to offers! It's a real piece of Voris and Woody history so one perhaps for one of us teenagers from the 80's

nice bike radrobbo 

[Taipan]

Nice bike very different not everyones cup of tea? but I dare say a good few peeps would like to own it
all that said what do the 'experts' on here think a realistic value for this bike would be/achieve? 

[Picklez]

Hi Radrobbo, welcome to the forum and thank you for making your first post a comment on this thread.

You truly do have an awesome bmx for sale in your listing, a model I would love to own one day. As I say one of my ‘Grails’, a bike I’ve desired for my very small collection for a long time now.

I appreciate your sentiment regarding a 99p starting price and single bid scenario, I think many of us would think and feel similar. It’s nice to also hear your sentiment of being open to serious bidders making sensible offers. I can assure you that if I was a fortunate man and lucky enough to have sufficient surplus cash to make you what I would feel (after careful consideration) was a realistic and non-insulting offer we would be talking more right now. But unfortunately I’m currently investing any surplus cash I have in a very slow build of a bike I feel nearly as rare as yours (in the fact that it is also a pre-production, low production numbers frame of comparable desire/standing/age), so I do have an appreciation of the costs involved.

However, even if I was fortunate enough to be that man, and this is obviously just my own personal opinion, I think that even after careful consideration any such offer I would theoretically make would probably still be someway short of your current asking price.

I really mean no insult by any of the above, I truly do admire your bike, and it would be one of these models that I would look to source if I ever finish my current build and want to again go through the long haul of locating all of the corresponding required, rare, high cost components.

So for now, thank you and I wish you all the very best of luck with your sale.

Thanks for taking your time Picklez to let me know your thoughts. I stupidly turned down 8k 3 or 4 years ago when this bike was actively on the forums here and the US so I know to the right person it should bring a strong price. Sorry it's not my first post just that I had to re register  again as I haven't been on here for many a year. It was free listing on eBay  and to put a BIN price on it or reserve was gonna be about £100-£150. I've had the bike 30 years so I'm not fussed if it doesn't go, I just wanted to gauge interest and save myself eBay fees in the process.

[Radrobbo]

Mind you, with Redline RL 20's fetching $12k (£7750 approx) maybe its time to list it on US eBay!

I remember this bike at MK a couple of times, I think it was black the first time I saw it, it is a stunning bike 

[bodamus]

It's a great bike I still have one myself

[Radrobbo]

Hope you like it all better this time around!
