I've given up being surprised by some of the prices I see on egay, though I've also noticed some crazy prices being asked for things over on the Museum recently.

I'm sure they've gone for more than that before

'Investors' better get them sold before the repops are out

Christmas is normally a quiet time for BMX stuff as well and you can pick up some bargains because people are spending money on other stuff.

Doesn't seem so in this case 

Would like to see what he could have got for the stuff in the middle of the year when prices are normally a bit higher 

[fischflo]

 127 bucks for those shiitty levers       A-one two three....When they go high,  Re- pop-, we go low, re-pop- a-lula.....

To be fair though this is all Jeff Haney's stash & he puts them on quite low to let the buyers decide the outcome.
I've had loads of parts off him throughout  the years & some good deals too.He gets all the top collectors & builders watching his auctions so no surprise they fetch high amounts considering his collection & the more sought after parts he puts up.Sometimes you get lucky & get a bargain though.

Ooops I meant Jeff not Rich! Corrected now.

Isn't the seller of all of these mentioned a few years back on bmxmuseum. Or even had a big magazine article done on him with all his bmx stash

[dancetothedrummersbeat]

Yes i think there was a feature on him in classic bmx magazine. He's Jeff Haney - one of the biggest bmx collectors out there along with Juan Mattos (bmx addicts on ebay/bmx museum) (who i think has sold a load of his stuff now). Yes, i suppose the prices could be seen as crazy, but if you've got a few grand in a build and want to finish it off in style, then they are worth it to some people. Would i pay that much for a set of tyres? It's hard to say - it would depend on the circumstances.

[Taipan]

Out of interest? what does Mr Haney do for a living? even to buy that much stuff bitd would have cost a fortune even if the parts were sensible priced then? I saw his collection on you tube I think some awesome stuff,just interested to know what he did or does 

[rooski]

He bought most of his stuff by the container full for next to nothing, late 90's, think a lot of it came from the uk.

By all accounts he has a ranch with a load of trees, cuts a few down, sells them,this is how he makes money, think its family owned, could be wrong, someone will know the proper story i'm sure.

I meant no criticism of anyone or anything and I am relieved that no one on here has leapt up to condemn such sales. The market usually finds its level although the playing field is not always level for all. If I were a rich man I would want the juiciest apples and the sweetest pears. It does, however, make me feel a lot better about my Hot Heart with its SR parts and the way it looks for relatively little in comparison.

I'm not bothered what someone else pays for something.

The only thing that gets my goat up in general is shill bidding ( and I'm not saying these are )

[factory pilot]

I really wanted that SE Jersey he was selling ... I bid hard as it was NOS and a size large but with auctions ending at 3.00 am our time I was always going to be outbid at the last second ...?       

Not too gutted though .. It's not the same as missing out on a part you really need for a build ..

[factory pilot]

Plus us Brits had expensive post, import duty and tax to consider 

[Seripper]

I remember him from vintagebmx. He is one of very first collector with very rare stuffs. Here are a couple of pics of his collection
