Annoys me when people split a frame and forks or a set of wheels! to maximise their profit! but this goofball is splitting a bmx scooter? which could have been a good grab if he'd of kept it together?

c'mon ffs! blatent money grabbing

Unfortunately it is how people are. I don't necessarily agree with it but I suppose it is their shit so they can do what they want.

Same as flippers as well I get it but really agree.

Whinge over

This peeves me too. Arse oles who split frames & forks, Get Brett's point, but I'm afraid I personally just see it as totally wanky, it takes so much effort to eventually reunite these parts.

The new ones that get my goat though are all these people splitting Kashi aeros and guts now days. Trouble is they're seeing they can get ?50-?90 for a set of guts, and then still move the seat on

When I first started Back in OS BMX I could not understand why people would split a nice headset off a frame and fork set but now it is standard practice with any headset.

I'd be seriously surprised if that scooter frame sells on it's own

Honestly anyone who splits a frame & forks to sell separately are fooling themselves.

Everyone (apart from these idiot sellers) seems to knows that there's more frames out there than forks as forks broke more regularly & are rare as a result, so they'll sell the forks straight away on the bay & then they'll get stuck with the frame .

Idiots...

Yep! I reckon he has shot himself in the foot on this one....breaking a fookin scooter!

Nothing is worth $hit to no one...on principal I wouldn't try and 'win' everything to put it back together....slow wait for the next instead....

As has been said, his stuff, do what he wants....

It has had a bid TBF but I'm always wary of 'private listing - bidder identity protected'

The kick board is actually a pretty cool wall hanger....OG font, might have done someone a favour!

Looks like a charity shop flipper to me...look at the other stuff listed. Nowt wrong with that, just for the record.
