THis is a typical example? I'm after a cal lite stem pad in blue ? you could buy them not long ago for around a tenner as I bought 2 so I spot one on ebay (check the ad out!!) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/California-Lite-Stem-Pad-Blue-NOS-Old-School-BMX-for-Haro-Kuwahara-GT-Skyway/122978161757?hash=item1ca211d45d:g:FQkAAOSwvZNajEED

so wtf is he asking this much for? where did he pluck the price from? If he's on here he should hang his head in shame the greedy bastard!

Avro · « **Reply #7 on:** February 20, 2018, 06:26 PM »

I have been watching a few bonkers ones lately. White Elina lightning bolt: BIN £320. It got bid up to £189 reserve not met!
Oh and there are a pair of Ukai Speedlines in blue for BIN £500, just to let you know that you can have mine for £499 any day

I do like a look on eBay for a good laugh, it’s the best place to go if you’re looking for rare, holy grail, NOS, or my favourite “VW Show” parts or bikes. While I’d much rather buy anything I need on here I’ve found Facebook is much easier to to find parts.
I had a wanted ad on here for a few parts, nothing fancy just run of the mill stuff for a few weeks. I bit the bullet and posted a wanted on Facebook, sorted in 10 minutes and at good prices.

Don’t get me wrong there’s a lot of shite on there but if you’re doing a build it’s the best place to be.

auctions prices have dropped a lot and buy it now stuff is stupid and never sells . the bubble burst i say as not everyone got money laying about anymore ,even i might have to flog some bits soon as pointless having stuff just sat here

factory pilot · « **Reply #23 on:** June 28, 2018, 12:56 PM »

Prices are either crazy or on FB a lot of dealing is behind the scenes stuff so you don’t know if the seller has been raped or not...
case in point ..
I was after a helmet and prepared to bid .. the guy stopped the auction and relisted it for £20 more ....
Seen someone selling a nice trucker hat (nos) but for £60!!!! Bin .. He then states he’s got 5 more of them for those stupid enough to want to buy from such an idiot at that insane price !
It’s depressing.. I’d love to keep building but the scene and greedy gets have killed it for us all
