eBay prices on the rise, good time to sell old junk?

$15k yeti sold .... only 2 bidders both with 0 feedback. I wonder how long until its listed as a non-paying buyer

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/231280132848 ... 1423.l2649

rare or not, any bike thats been "ridden hard" and "had parts replaced" and "comes with seat clamp that needs to be modified" "has non original parts but look good" and "parts about to give up the ghost" must make one wonder where the value and rarity is? it isnt exactly my idea of "original". someone please educate me as i m not sure i see the worth in this one. and its ugly too.

Maybe part of the value is in the tyres?

Interesting bike. Can't comment on its value, but isn't that chain stay tyre clearance a bit small for a mountain bike?

It wasn't uncommon on early mtbs to have trouble with tyre clearance as bigger tyres came to market. Just FYI

Did anyone here get the Paconi frame that sold last night for $56? I forgot about it .

And sadly, almost entirely accurate, even if you fit modern brake pads.

They are out there...for amusement

Not sure what is the bigger pack of porkies…a) "Good Condition"…. or b) "So now i'm stuck with a fish tail"
The quality of "SOUTHERN STAR"…."PROFESSIONALLY INSTALLED"
Quality is always worth More than the purchase price.
Price of Gaspipe "named Greg" is up…comes with "custodial sentence"…"shiny bell".."smaller brother (Randal)"

i dont think i would take this even with a 5 finger discount!

[koshari]

Brooks seat NOT included.
Can discuss other bars/parts set up if you are interested.

With more babies on the way I have to part with this one you will not be dissapointed.

Iam guessing I would be dissapointed [sic] if I wanted the brooks seat?

Still, it's a Clamont for $200.

[QuangVuong]

Anyone wanna split with me? I want the frame, fork and seatpost. Spokes and rims would be useful too. You can take the 7400 bits.

that's the same MBK frame i offered you via Fb the other day, Lachy.
want me to measure it up for you?

[ldrcycles]

Thanks but no, i'm after something with a 1 1/8" head tube to suit a set of disc forks i've got. Within a week or so i'll have 2 or 3 geared quill stem bikes so i don't think i could justify another to 'er indoors .
