  • Two guys I know bought in an auction 5 Laser pursuit pista framesets (National team edition) and sold 3 of them for an average of €4,500 (£3800) each.

    i call horseshit ;-)
    here's some recent sales prices
    8,000
    47,000
    19,000
    these are not 'common''

    one possible reason cicli listed such a frame at a price is seo for themselves, i had a conversation with the proscloset regarding why they listed the futura colnago pista here
    and they conceded for seo purposes

  • And about the 47k Colombo Laser...

    • It's not a Laser
    • It can't reflect the real value as (RED) is a very big charity auction where things are paid without looking at what they are actually bidding at (look at the Sotheby's auction page, I laughed for days...)

    the listing states it is a laser nostra prototype,nobium steel
    the point was that this sale arguably incresed the retail value of original lasers, and the type of demographic that ''paid without looking at it'' could arguably be the type to buy at these prices, similar to the futura master prototype which Nadir was asking $110,000 for, or the hour record obree , sold for 10,000 pounds after previously been hanging in a boardroom
    it could be also argued that frames of this type are bought for speculative purpose as well as 'statement' pieces to be left on show
