Author Topic: Have you regretted selling anything? (Read 6700 times)

I stripped this yesterday so that the frame, forks and bars could go to thier new owner. It's the first of my builds that I've stripped down and I have to say that as soon as I started, I began to regret it.

I sold it because after buying 2 of the 'raw' ones that came up for sale recently, I figured 5 streetbeats was too many for any man.

I only wish I had the money and space to keep them all.

Have any of you regretted selling something?

The supergoose 2 i sold for thirty quid in 86 count?

but yeah, everything that goes is hard to let go of.

Moose · « **Reply #3 on:** October 20, 2005, 06:43 PM »

Bob, it all counts

I haven't regretted selling anything as much as this. I had a little 'pang' of regret selling an '84 Master, but I hadn't built it up and knew it was going to a good home. By the time I'd knocked the last BB cup out I knew I shouldn't have sold it.

Yes the bars went as well.

Yes regreted selling my Hutch Trickstyler. I think about that one everyday but it went to a good home and is now cruising around Hollywood so thats ok.

Probably a few more things I may regret in the future but as long as someone gets more use and enjoyment out of them than me I am quiet happy

They do look rather sad at the minute, but they will be used again on something.

It's the first time I've removed Tioga Sealed bearing BB cups and even though I used a copper drift, they have still come out a little scarred as they're light alloy.

Lazarou · « **Reply #15 on:** October 20, 2005, 08:33 PM »

I sold my Prolite CC with Tuffs and 400 flites in 88 for........£50

I also got an original GT World Tour with baby blue tuffs, Hutch stem and Space Bars in 96 but got strapped for cash and sold it for £180

I'm not usually a regretful person but the Prolite still haunts me.

I haven't sold any of my os bikes as i know i would regret it. Sold a few new skool bikes to finance other things as they just dont have the same appeal. Oh yeah let my sister sell her TA for £10 around 88.

FIL EBZ · « **Reply #17 on:** October 20, 2005, 08:41 PM »

Regretted selling lots of stuff in the dark days 91-95 stuff like rippers for £40 performers would only get £15 and tuffs well you had to pay to get rid of them.

if only i hadn`t sold my Delorian to that freaky looking american dr Brown i could go back and ....................................................

Ive not really regretted anything because ive always made money..

If you get a good price it really softens the blow.

My Puch Murray 360!!! Damn it there must be 1 in the world somewhere!!!!

Back of the net with that Avatar Tefore by the way!!

Pink GT Performer. Platform welded at middle of toptube not near top. Sold for peanuts at the time, can't even remember what replaced it.
Bully Bashguard. Some local Canning Town nippers in '93 probably never knew what they'd got, but I needed space & money.
KHE forks, the ones with aluminium parts and chrome legs. Again, money space & no need for them.
Kuwahara ET. Practically gave it away because someone I knew had his bike stolen and needed a replacement.
And finally...
My much cared-for white Hutch Trick Star with pegless forks. Traded it for a Haro Sport in about '86 because it looked nice and BMX Plus! said it was the best bike around in some poll or other. Jason Ellis from Hull, one lucky git.
