How many stupid people...

60 bids so far. They must be fucking mental.

 

And the reserve is not yet met.

 

Hmmm, a pretty damned immaculate one sold for £2800 not too long ago -
so there isn't a big profit to be made.

Very odd.

 

It's the entire Zulu nation wanting their spears back.

Christ, some of those photos show bikes that look like they've just
come out of the crates from Japan.

 

They just want the spears.

Some of those are more than pretty damned immaculate though.

Not if you're a fizzie lover, or someone with the idea that there IS money
to be made. A bloke wot works near us has recently bought 2 DT 125's and has
spent well over 3 grand on each one getting them to look and work like
originals. He thinks it's been money well spent.

I'm holding out for a photo of the spears.

Hope you're not hoping for rarity value.

Apparently not.

Erm, that's the same bloke, same auction...

 

That's 'cos he's fixed one of the bikes and now has 13 runners and one
Timo'd.

 

^^^^^

Can't be, there are no visible craters in any of the pictures.

 

Jeez. How many Fizzies can one man possess?

And as for the buyer who snapped up the first lot: I mean, what's he
going to do with them. Selling them individually isn't going to realise
much profit, if any, and you'd be swamping the market anyway.

 

The reserve wasn't met the first time round. HTH.

 

£29,700 was the top bid on the 1st auction but the (lowered) reserve
still wasn't met. That's £2745/14 = £2121.42 per machine which seems
like a good price for a bulk-buy.[/QUOTE]

Hmmmmmm...... if every machine was as new, yes. But it only takes a few
slight deviations from 'absolutely as new' condition to drop the price
from as much as £3000 per bike to £2000.

 

He must've found the one hiding in a corner. Either that, or his math is
even worse than mine.

It probably spontaneously assembled itself...

 

I like it, so I'm keeping it.
