For Sale: S&M .38 Special 24" cruiser bmx at a wonderfully high price.

Right, couldn't give a flat cap if anyone wants to flame ( I grew up near Crewe, I've known abuse and gritty urban realism that would make your skin scream) but I want to pass this on and I want good money.

Now this might not be the best place to sell so I'm more than happy to be advised:
A. Wether and by how much the price is out and..
B. Where else (Other than the bay or bumtree) would me a smart place to advertise.

I lost interest in bmx a few years back (at the same time my physique did, funny that) so have no idea if we are in a bouyant nu-school custom market or wether I should just hang on to this beaut and pass it on to one of me kids.

Either way, I presume there's someone on the forum who knows their onions and poss someone who'll want to buy it.........for......wait for it........£800. Got receipts for the original build blah blah blah

Could try www.trials-forum.co.uk I think they have a bmx forum as well run by the same guys www.bmx-forum.co.uk but not as popular.

I would say £800 is over priced and advertising it in this way stating that you know people will think its high and getting pretty aggressive about it isn't going to help your cause.

Maybe you should say what it cost new?

Also not going to help your cause is the fact that 24" crusiers/bmx I would say is a pretty niche market. So not as much of a second hand value. Maybe split it, that way people will buy the parts that could fit fixie's/bmx and then people interested in riding street trials might take the wheels.

Just some ideas

Oh I wasn't being agressive just urban and lairy, I'm really just a pussycat. Thanks for the links, bmx-forum I was aware of but not trials so I'll have a peek around.

Cost £1250 new in 2009 when I had money, remember money ? It was great wasn't it. I guess £800 is a tad on the deluded side of optimistic but I just wanted to know by how much. Mebbee circa £600 is a bit more realistic.

Never imagined selling it but when I can't remember the last time I picked it over my fixed gear it's time to give the carpet queen a chance somewhere else. It's like stopping wearing trainers for shoes, something else I've also done.

So thanks for the advice and pointers, I shall explore the ideas you've mentioned.
Rob.

Yeah maybe aggressive was the wrong word, Lairy is what I was going for :)

I'd had a massive cup of tea and I suspect more sugar than I'm used to. Oh I'm going to keep it and perhaps get a job. (Woah, I really am in the grips of a glucose meltdown).

hi mate was wondering if you still have your white s&m cruiser and if so would you be willing to sell?cheers christian

I've sent you a visitors message. PM me for a chat about it.
Cheers, Rob.

hi rob

please can let me know if this is still available.

thanks
alexis

It is but I've resolved to keeping it as I'm not really sure if I'm prepared to part, however, pm me and we can have a chat.

If you have a change of heart - this is where you need to post it http://bmxtalk.com/ - someone would deffinately snap it up

ok i will drop you a line

Oh hold on, just wait there a minute. 2 new members join in the last 2 days and the only thing they've posted on is a good as dead thread for a niche product that would be better advertised elsewhere ???
I am smelling zee rats. Prove me wrong gentlemen.............

This would go down well on either BMX talk or RadBmx. It is quite expensive though.

Yeah but I've removed the stickers. New frames will still have the stickers on. But yes those two sites are worth a poke, so cheers for the pointer.

Pm on its way...
