The "How much?" or "You're havin' a giraffe!" thread

[MarquisMatsugae]

No offence to the seller, but I had an how much moment when I saw the price of these, nice top though.

They must be worth the money.
The guys sitting on the Alfa all bought one.

That's about right for a frame. Tis how much I paid to post a frame

A dude quoted me £110 last year.
When I told him that was far too high and I sent a bike for £14.40,he told me he" was packing it really securely,and anyway it's a £2800 bike"
Some people.

not so much the price of the bike but the price of the postage

Is it me or does it have a plate for a chainstay bridge and not a tube?

This is kinda cool in a Buck Rogers'y kind of way. It was on Ebay recently and I was interested up to 25 quid as its still only hideous acryllic. Anyway it went way past what I was prepared to pay and sold for 46 quid. A week or so later and boom, its back, at a hugely inflated price, having a proper giraffe this joker.

£3000 for what looks to me to be a Bob Jackson jobby from the 80's ... ?

Does the price include the broomstick?

Maybe it comes with its own jetpack.

I just recently bought an early 80s Peugeot Equipe off eBay. I've been on the look out for one for some time now. Most of them were either extortionately priced or in a terrible condition. I was lucky to win mine for £80 and is truly immaculate. Well pleased with it, and it brings back some very fond memories of my younger days when I once owned one :-))

Is this for real? Would someone pay £145 for this?

Isn't that a plate for mounting a prop stand?

Was Hetchins a bike shop ?

Says its a 1960's frame yet Hechings site says its a 1980's frame.

What bothers me most about this ad,is not the bag itself,and the price(well maybe that too),but his demands in big red letters.
He might as well tell people "buy this bag or I'll kick your teeth in"
