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

[Dimitrizee]

Tried selling a 87 Repco High Sierra MTB a few weeks ago for what I paid with little to no interest.. Paid $140ish dollars and had it shipped from NSW to Melbourne. Full Deore in good ridable condition but guess have to hold onto it for another few years..

[vaeske]

Too far for me but looks to be a good starting price.

good starting price. It's a Miyata 414...nice bike, not light though.

[bychosis]

A bit of pfaffing around, and I got it from the item number; item 261196456541

I can't believe the amount of bids on it, 8 days out!

Thats nuts......
I saw a malvern star mustang dragster in 8/10 condition go for $240 on sunday night...chalk and cheese.

Have a look, seller has a description up now and the bids are going nuts. It's got to be an inside job.

Made this guy an offer for $300 on this nice looking Shogun Prairie Breaker Pro..

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/mount-gr ... 1015008727

was rejected but I would like to tell him that the offer is now gone... found my own and in my size for $10. HA

He's being way optimistic with his pricing isn't he.

+1, it's in pretty good shape, but i'm not seeing $500.

[rollin]

$300 is twice what it's worth, he should have jumped at it....

[Dimitrizee]

300 may have been a bit high in the offer but if the frame was in my size I'd still want it. You know what its like when things get sentimental...I think he's relying on that with someone out there and just patiently waiting.

[QuangVuong]

You got one crazy deal then!

[frailer5]

Ricardo Elite But where do some people get their kick-off prices from? For the taller gentleman, assuming he re-lists realistically. Sydney.

[Dimitrizee]

I'm sure he's just testing the water...he's hoping to get that figure.

[leighthebee]

galli crit groupset?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Colnago-GALL ... _500wt_922

Thoughts?

[find_bruce]

I assume you are referring to an ebay item leighthebee. If so, you might want to check the item number & edit your post - when I search for that item number I dont get galli crit groupset. Instead I get something that is (1) not bicycle related, (2) NSFW & (3) not appropriate for these forums

[leighthebee]

Fixed hahaha

That was from over on the e-type forums....

[Dan]

Now that's over...

Back to normal - overpriced junk

Probably. I just don't get water-testing via the Dutch auction direction. Only caught my eye as am doing up a 54cm. at the moment; same colour combo. Nice (enough) bike, but not a pig-in-poke $400 one.
They must catch one now and again, I guess.

Not treeBay - just junk.
