BARN FINDS?? WTF??
« on: October 28, 2014, 09:32 PM »
I have noticed an increase on ebay of sellers including the words 'barn find' in listings, usually of old p.o.s BMX's. Is this a crossover from the classic car world? does it somehow increase the value of the p.o.s BMX? How many people actually find BMX's in barns?? Have the sellers been watching too many U.S car resto shows?? someone enlighten me!  ::)

Some of them need putting back in the barn, locking up and the key throwing away too!

Think it's just a phrase that's found it's way into common use Damo. Agreed that an involuntary shudder slips down your spine when it's in a listing title but if it encourages people to dig about & fish their old poop out then that's great. For every 100 pos there's usually a gem or 2  :whistle:

There's over 2000 things listed under barn find on ebay this week. Who is it that rummages for fresh things in the surely decreasing number of un-rummaged barns in the UK? They seem to strike it lucky with cars all the time.

There's a lot of mid school/new but bargain basement bikes for sale out there. Many of which have stupid starting prices on ebay. Idiots who find/buy crap bikes for almost nothing, and think they can get top dollar prices. Really gets on my tits. Co*ksuckers!
