Is it me or is this going mad!!!

Just been looking on evil bay and came across a raleigh burner Mk2 chrome with black tuffs on it.
Price at the moment is 225 quid.
Now I can remember them being common place back in the day on the street and  dont think many people raced them unless it was a chromo or aero pro.
The lads at my local track and others we knocked round with didnt have them and didnt see many on the tracks.
Why did a torker go for 200 quid and a burner fetch more MMMMmmmm madness.

The army are buying them up to practice with pinpoint precision laser-guided bombing. Makes sense.

Looks like a super tuff burner stripped of it's gold stuff

I still see £80 worth of wheels/tyres and £175 of POO 

[MartyC]

You lot don't get it do you, they value scrap by its weight 

[hunterdubber]

Hey anything for sale goes for what any wobbler wants to pay doesn't it  ! 

The more common the bike back BITD ,the more chance your gonna get some wobbler ,shelling out too much of his hard earned   

[highrisedrifter]

Bike went for £285!   

[Waxintaxin]

Yep , worth what the market pays

and thats what the market reckoned that was worth

its a fast moving hobby , and prices are steadily getting higher

and Burners are very collectible and lots of people want them

so they go for big money

still some more to go i reckon

And dont be suprised if Burners get more money than the " good " makes

more iconic lol

the great bmx swindle

[stuntmaster]

one of the biggest shill bidders on ebay that person is ,that why it went high as see her old auctions for proof or the ones that she pulls as no interest . the burner boys know all about her or him

[daz bmx it!]

I agree with the above,plus a Super tuff burner thats stripped,could be any old chrome burner frame tbh? I personally would be very careful of that ebayer
