Yeah I think it has... seen some ludicrous prices on ebay lately.

Also some known ebay old school suppliers are too!

really makes you laugh when you have a part in your watch list and they shoot you over an offer with a 2% reduction!

c'mon that's not a tempting offer to buy ffs!

If people are stupid enough to pay ridiculous prices for old bike parts, then people will be cheeky enough to inflate the asking price.

£501.50 for SE Powerwings did raise an eyebrow.

....I nearly choked on my cornflakes when a DX crankset went over £1000 recently.

Saw that muppet listing earlier and thought of this thread whilst pmsl. Urine extraction at its worst! I think at most I'd take the F&f, tyres, seat & callipers. As you say, he should have jumped at 5k, if of course he wasn't dreaming at the time.

One thing that grips mey sh*t about all these people selling is that they say that they are serious collectors and been in this hobby for years and yet nobody on a Forum like this knows who they are?

Granted there are a few big collectors over the years who like to remain private but they hardly ever sell a thing as many of us are aware and have come across thru this forum and one or two others but this Bridgade who splash all this so called bmx jewellery at massively inflated prices are never known? strange?

Avro · « **Reply #20 on:** May 09, 2020, 06:02 PM »

I am gobsmacked by the prices those parts fetched, am I missing something?
I thought I was nuts paying £120 odd for my black and yellow Elinas. I have bought some pretty rare bits over the last year or so, a couple of DX crank sets and a nos Tioga Rhino III frame in particular, but I paid nothing like those prices.
If there is something fishy going on, what is it?

Having had a break from building old bikes for few years the prices at the minute are ruthless yet people keep buying crazy priced gear
