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

[Dan]

its a superstar, though...

[morini]

not junk - perhaps a touch overpriced, but a nice Daccordi, nonetheless

I think the guy who asks the first question is a bit of a peanut. Most of his questioning would be answered by the photos anyway. I think he's just throwing around some bike terms he read on the 'net to sound good.

The first question certainly flushed him out though. The seller I mean. He might be open to an offer?

[munga]

+1.

seller is not a bike nut. mate of a mate probably told him it's worth a grand. probably $500 overpriced

Actually, my comment was about the person asking the question - but I guess it kind of rings true both ways.

Not junk:Gazelle Is it legal to want something this much??

=>> That is brilliant noted 57.5 c to c......I had thought I would need a 62cm c to c Frame ….but he says 33" stand over height = 838mmm thats pretty close to a std road bike 24" frame…….Ahhh very tempting…..if only I had a use for it.

I actually wrote a question asking If he'd sell the frame and fork separately, then didn't send it, lest the treebay constabulary found out...

[grantw]

Where do people pluck their starting prices from? Is it just wishful thinking?

It's got a nice bell

[ldrcycles]

WT? is going on with those handlebars and saddle?

Antler bars i call them, my brother has his bars twisted way up like that too, makes me think of a deer everytime i see it .

[munga]

Text to seller:
Hi Bob, would you be interested in selling just the frame and fork of your Daccordi? Can't hurt to ask. Kind regards, Dan

Response:
Yes, $1000.

My reply:
So, no then. That's more than your listed price for the entire bicycle! Thanks for your reply, have a great day!

[sunho]

Don't know why he would respray in the non original colours, but still 531 as stipulated, it would not make a great fixie, rather, a roadie
campagnolo shifters are a plus, shimano 105 calipers for an additional 20...
wouldnt hurt to ask for BIN price i suppose. small st but long top tube.
531

[morini]

Dan, You're just going to have to bide your time. I doubt he'll sell it at that price so wait until he's tried to sell it three or four times then ask again. It'll be on Gumtree next I reckon. Keep your eyes peeled.

I think you're right there. Once it comes down it'll be the quick and the dead, though...

Repco Eurosport Tri-A with a horrendous re-spray, seriously devalued that one, poor thing.

Another 531 Gazelle, this time a roadie with a more realistic start price, who's keen?

Tri-colour gruppo, wih a nice set of wheels have to be near worth buying for the running gear alone.

Get on you Perth guys.

[sunho]

Saw it yesterday and the seller has mentioned there had been a lot of interest.. She was also happy to ship if the local bike shop would organise it. No buy it now price... Sadly.

No surprise. Just what I need as a work commute right now... 54|54. Hoo well, another day.

[Clydesdale Scot]

I'm now watching it with considerable interest, $1,200 - he's got to be dreaming.

But hey I could be wrong.

You weren't wrong.
there were 4 offers, maximum of $35
but it has been relisted

[Rob74]

I'm a fan of REPCO's but bare frames at these prices?? LOL
