Hello advise needed...

[SAFRANEV6RXE]

Hi
Just joined and want some advise please.
I,ve never owned a BMX but alway admire the old school/retro bikes i see on E-bay or on the odd time in my local park with Dads my age(42)riding them at a cruising pace!
Now thats what i want,i don,t have a BMX and i,am on the look out for one,i,ve spotted a few nice Aero reflexs go through E-bay and i love the chrome frames etc and a set of mags would look great i think,but at the moment the exact bike i fancy isn,t on there for sale,but there was a few crackers in completed items,but they have sold.
Also i like the GT perfomerhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1988-GT-Performer-Bmx-Old-school-Retro-Vintage-rare-haro-redline-oldskool-nos-/221590455874?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item3397d20642
But what worries me is that it has been through E-bay several times unsold,so this is ringing alarm bells that its not as nice as it looks???
I would like a bit of advise please and if anyone has a minter for sale for sensible money and can send it please contact me ASAP,i can get the GT cheaper than the opening bid,hope you can help.

Most bikes sell better broken down than completes, probably people like building them.

Get a site supporter tag and put up a wanted ad for a complete bike and keep an eye on the for sale section... some thing will come up. You've got less chance of getting your fingers burnt here than on ebay.

If it's gone through ebay a number of times unsold then the only person it should ring alarm bells for is the seller as it's obviously listed too damn expensive. Most people these days know the price of stuff and, unless it's that final piece to their long standing jigsaw, will not pay silly prices.
