Bit harsh

I though it was nice of bmxgirl to let rad members know about it

I was outbit but still potentially enough profit to double your money or more on that

It'll be snapped up on the Museum. Anyone on here get it?

Aye cheers for the nod via PM bob

It's a bargain at that price - looks all original apart from the seat/tyres/grips but I've spent waaaaaay too much lately and the moose has never been a fave of mine

I bid what I was happy to pay for the parts on it and a couple of quid for the frame just to add it to my collection $:-\$

Looks like someone wanted it more than me though - still a bargain price for a rare frame - they get good money in the states, but like I say not really my thing.

FFS, I would have loved that...

bmxgirl · « **Reply #13 on:** December 10, 2009, 08:42 PM »

I posted it on here coz no one had bid and it was ending soon... wont bother next time

stidds · « **Reply #14 on:** December 10, 2009, 08:58 PM »

I would have bought that and fooking crushed the ugly foking thing. Worst thing to have come from BMX apart from Pit bikes.

The slingshot is indeed ugly but at least it has something about it. The Moosegoose is just completely wrong from all angles, it looks worse than ANY Burner/Apollo/Pirahna etc.

we always believe we're the only ones looking!lol. the amount of times ive watched an item thinking im the only one looking, and then getting outbid, is fooking loads.ha.theres always the next time!
did anyone from on here outbid me on a rickman freestyler about a month ago.it wasnt listed very good and only went for £150 complete with skyways ,mx's etc.gutted not to get it.lol

Bigfrawg · « **Reply #21 on:** December 11, 2009, 07:40 PM »

it would have been naive of me to think i was the only one looking at it , after all it is a public auction ! my gripe is the fact that people ( not just bmxgirl ) randomly let the cat out of the bag on certain auctions . bmxgirl meant no harm and thought she was doing people a favour by pointing it out . knowing how many goose fans there is on here meant there would have been more interest in the bike .
i myself have benefitted by someone posting an ebay link to a badly listed race inc but this was at gregs ( motomags ) expense , sorry about that again greg but she's nearly finished now . it's not that often anymore that badly listed os bmx gems come up and it just p1ssed me off at the time that it was made public knowledge on a os bmx forum .
anyway , i have said my piece and hopefully there is no hard feelings with bmxgirl .
