which kind of marketing trick is behind all of this.
I think we've already covered that; it was a charity auction, basically a pissing contest among rich people to see who could over pay the most for the least valuable lots.

there you go...
@saarf I'm not saying that Lasers are ugly.
We all know what Pesenti did at the time, but fuck, why a "common" SLX Laser pursuit (used frameset) must be worth more than £4000... I really can't understand...
But I can understand over €10k for the prototype shown above, these are rare, not the slx ones. -
Yeh but I would imagine a return. Like the 'one off" leica etc

I thought the highest bidder for Obree's bike was actually the seller, that changed his mind at the end and controversially kept it to avoid legal and moral issues. But I might be wrong.
About the Cinelli used on Red Hook crit, it's simply not worth anything, really. A couple of thousands maybe? Just because it's Cinelli, winning bike (for the smallest bicycle competition ever??) and all?
I would really like to know who bought it at the end, just to understand which kind of marketing trick is behind all of this.
