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

[frailer5]

The cents I ignore. But you could be onto something.

$414! $236 dollars off!

The auction finished too late!!
I find that Sunday afternoon finishes are the best buys!

Yes, I was apparently more interested in it than I thought I was

Odd bidding amounts have worked quite well for me at times too.

Nice,....... one of the few asian mass produced bikes from that era that have nice angles and half decent tubes IMHO. infinitely better than the ubiquitous repco superlite(Giants).

Auction states "Infinity" tubes, photo clearly shows Tange 900, bit of a difference but seems an honest mistake. Half decent is correct, needs a spruce up, wouldn't pay much more than a pineapple.

"Old repco cycling bike" ... "needs a bit of attention" .....that fork...

You've never heard of the Repco Dogma?

You've lost me there.... #confused

The little Fuji is back again, at a reasonable start price:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Fuji-womens- ... cc4&_uhb=1

That Fuji has been up four or five times, coming down from $400 in very slow movements. I reckon mid-$200's is about right for that. The Cyclone parts on it were decent enough. I've learned via a few web resources that Fuji built some quality frames that flew well under the radar.

And here's the bike: http://www.classicfuji.com/ClubFuji_1986_Page.htm You can see it's basically catalogue condition, even the bar tape and straps! I don't know what the 449 refers to, but it's probably 'new price' in '86.

The Classic Fuji website is a great resource.

Yep. I've SMS'd my diminutive work colleague, who lives 1 suburb away. It would fit her to a 't'. She ignores it now at her loss, IMO. The SMSs are nearing harassment.

It will be mounted on a stand... and decorate a sideboard.

Also it's not even 600 Arabesque, it's Golden Arrow, which was a step down, the equivalent of 105 today.

... and sold, at that reasonable start price. ...mildly--->

[familyguy]

It was sure to go at that price. Didn't go to your little friend?

Sadly, no. pre-Xms budget strain. Shame; just reckon it would most likely ride very nicely...

What's the go with this DT shifter/non-aero Malvern Star in Melb.? Poorly photographed. Many sellers just don't get how important decent pics are.
Looking like a Tange decal, top of ST. (out of focus, of course).
... just because it annoys me, I've asked 'em to try and take some better close-up pics. Sadly, most who post pics like that have reached the limits of their competency. That bike is still radiating some quality vibes...
Suntour shift levers? (accidentally in focus).

edit: 2 more pics up. Dynalloy t/butted CroMo. Got lucky on that; the other extra pic was out of focus. CSI 'enhancement' req'd.
