BMX Chat / Re: EBAY NEW SELLING RULES?

« Last post by OrgasmDonor on March 26, 2025, 09:16 AM »

From what I read on the Inland Revenue website,it says bicycles are exempt from tax when sold on ebay as they are 'mechanical.
Also if you're just clearing out your old stuff out of the loft or de-cluttering then the Inland Revenue don't regard that as taxable either.
I believe the threshold is £1700 before ebay passes your details on to the tax man.

Yeah. TBH I would imagine they are targeting flippers.

I am a PC gamer. Have been for 30 years. Graphics cards at launch are now hot property, with some of them costing 2k retail. Problem is scalpers set up bots, buy them up and then flip on Ebay for double the price. And some idiot pays it. As such people are making like two grand tax free.

I also noticed recently that crab meat in tins is always sold out at like, Morrisons or Tesco etc. Some ahole then takes said crab meat costing 2 quid a tin and puts it on Amazon for 9 quid a tin.

thats just shellfish!

Your bikes were always more "as they should be", than mine were and you had a great eye for a great bike

Talking of which..... All Ti pedals fitted and the Ridley 4ZA fork.



It now weighs 16.94lb. You want to talk about scary? get on a bike that big that weighs that little lmao. It's like walking down the street naked !

I used those tubes on my road bike. Yes, very light. They do pop easily though according to my brother. Mine has been OK (rear is tubular so strong AF). They do go down a lot though and need pumping up every time you ride. Might be the valve, though.

Deja vu post! Kind of:-

Delivered today:- those four RideNow poly tubes that I ordered last week. Unbloodybelievably light!! Scarily so. Now I just need to decide what wheels I’m brave enough to put them on.

Bought today, well, last night;-  Some DMR Vault pedals, in the oil slick finish as they’re the Lacon version. Used but in great-looking condition, famous last words. Will report back when they arrive.

OK so I measured up the new hub (the Premium Products one that I stripped) and I needed 186mm spokes.



Cost me like 9 quid on Ebay. Doesn't look like they include the nipples and they were another 9 quid but sod that I will reuse the ones on the wheel now when I take it apart.

Going to take it to the LBS around May time and get it done whilst I wait. Have done that before, they did a lovely job for me.

Tomorrow’s third and final round of the KBU Winter Series has been rained off, which is a shame but not completely unexpected in a country with worse winter weather than the UK!!

Next race should be round one of the KBU 2025 Series on 13th April. Weather permitting, of course.
