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

531 Hillman Touring bike with rattle can patina.

Ooh I like that. A bit big for me though (it doesn't look like 25.5" though). That and it's not in Queensland.

Does anyone have a ballpark figure to get a frame painted in that early-mid 80s Japanese two tone like the Shoguns above? And to add frame braze ons?
Also does anybody know wheeerree in Aus?

I just found Paconi's website and it seems they do still do frame painting. Might call 'em if I find something.

Joe Cosgrove in Brisbane still does minor frame repairs i believe, and there wouldn't be many people unaware of his skills with paint.

Poor guy. I don't doubt the story. The cash converters business model is criminal.

Aha, now it all makes sense. Agree, poor guy. That's the one of the risks with online buying, we all have to trust that the seller is the actual owner. Photos are still a bit random though

I was wondering if that was the same geezer. With a bit of luck, his eBay listing fees will exceed his potential profits.

There's no charge for listings that don't sell.

[duncan16v]

Damn shame, that.

Otherwise the $1200 Ninja would have been pulled or dropped two years ago...

Someone needs to get onto this quick (in Darwin) and save it from the powdercoat brigade. Too far for me to purchase

Somebody did. Took a couple of hours longer than I would have thought.

[mark field]

this would appear to be new old stock- as it still has both the front and rear reflectors and original brake pads? , and the quality of the paint also is superb.

That's a clean & original example Mark. Looks like it had minimal use and has been stored indoors for most of its life. Probably one of the last ones made in Japan. Good find.

The anodised rims look quite worn though...

Looked like very interesting lugs, appears to have a cyclo shifter (or similar) and paint in nice condition. Hopefully somebody here purchased and can post up some detailed photos. If it had been near me, I would have bought it.
