1000 quid bmx wheels?

erm . . . .

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #8 on:** July 26, 2007, 07:13 PM »

well a million for a stamp ?

2000 for an action man hat ?

its relative to the market and at the mo the collectors are coming think and fast , I know some people dont like it , but thats the nature of cool things , people like them
and are prepared to pay to own them.

its a double edged sword , but fook all you can do about it

how many sets exist in that condition ? not many

so if it keeps going 1000 for them will seem cheap

i remeber the same conversation about mx1000s reaching fifty quid for black , when they were availiable for 25 sheets not long before

yeh, but 1000 quid bmx wheels?

if i was into action man stuff i wouldn't pay 2000 for a hat!!

i am into bmx, but i also have a grip on perspective!

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #10 on:** July 26, 2007, 07:19 PM »

true , but its horses for courses

i wouldnt pay 50p for old action man stuff , but a set of campy grafs would appeal if i had the cash, knowing that at least in the short term they wouldnt lose money

The ultimate oldschool wheelset... seems fair to me. Not sure about the Hutch stem he's selling though

not saying they are a steal , merley that they are for what they are they are not a stupid price, the dollar pound thing helps this side a little as well

Shite cranks or not ... looks like I sold my set for less that I could have!

(I dont think I did really cos they were used and a long way from looking like that set. Its that last 10% of newness that will get you 200% more £££!)
