EBay tends to show the true value of an item in the main, there are exceptions.At £500 he should have snapped their hand off.Why? Just look at the components!
This is why i need to ask,i know nothing about these bikes and wanted some tips about this one.He won,t take under £900 posted!Is it really full of crap parts,postage is expensive aswell.....
Frame and forks are the only bits I would want, the rest of it I would bin and start again.
What about this one?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GT-PRO-PERFORMER-80s-Old-School-BMX-/221647877436?pt=UK_Collectables_Bicycle_RL&hash=item339b3e353c
That's probably the worst 85 rep I've ever seen! It's not even an 85!
Some people take a punt on ebay, you never know when a old bloke with a nostalgia thing might just not be arsed to build a bike themselves, take the Hutch trickstar that's been on ebay loads at £8.5k

It is nice but not 8.5k nice!! and look at the state of the pedal cages on it
I know what you mean....was thinking that myself that have seen some mad u.s prices recently. More of a crack problem there I reckon!! seen stuff like a tatty pair of skyway axle extenders for $60 when nos ones on same page for $20 WTF?? nearly sent him a message to ask what he was smoking! There is loads more stuff over there and prices have traditionally been more favourable even when you factor customs charges in.....

Your right chap, most of my frames are from the US, and were defo less expensive than the UK, even with customs charges. But I'm talking 10 years or so ago. These days the US bargains seem few and fair between sadly. Nearly bid on that RL20II radberry but forgot about end of auction tonight, good price £490 How's yours doing, lovely build that.
