A fair price is ___?

I call them Sparkys...
They rock!

will no-one else add to the tags?

Well well well there we go. Confirmation at last. Look at this example posted by andyp. Only 465 pounds and in virtually perfect condition. This one I'm looking at has some marks around the cranksprocket on the stay and seat post tubes.
and the seller in reality only gets to walk away with 400

My point was that £500 is a fair price, that one I linked to was an example. I bet the guy who sold it hoped to get more, i.e. the same as this one;

Have you got your mate's email address? I'm going to email him these two links and tell him not to bother selling it to a cunt like you.

I REALLY hope tarboys mate finds this pages and sells the frame to someone more deserving on here.

Quote of the day. And so early to!

it's traditional for the buyer to pay shipping, boxes are free, ebay fees aren't that steep so where the fuck did 65quid go????
You're a cheap moron throwing his toys out the pram cos he can't afford something that everyone else has no problem paying for, many of whom would have happily paid a higher asking price.

how many of us have them?

Hey andyp, thats a bit unneccessary, take a breather.

Secondly, seller has paid about 8 for posting including photo gallery, plus 10% final value up to max 50 plus if paid by paypal another 2,9%. So i was just doing a rough estimate

He's just giving him a kiss right?

Honest, the Cape Town cycling scene is alive, lots of pro cyclist train there in the European winter.I'm sure he'd be able to flog it on for at least R6,500 if he wanted to.
It's quite clear that the general consensus is that he's offering you the F+F for a reasonable price. So stop being a cry baby and stump up or say you can't afford it.

just get over it, you're too poor, rude and don't deserve a friend willing to consider selling you the frame.

so what if the seller of that frame didn't make 500, its worth 500, most sell for more. If you're a real friend to this guy you'll tell him about this thread and allow him to make his own judgement as to its worth.

A 2 minute search on the local Gumtree for Cape Town stumps up a few nice bikes.

Not bad for a place where there is no bike culture?

I didn't think black and white animals were allowed to eat each other?

Maybe it's a bit of a grey area.

I find if you want to locate nice bike culture it is better to go out and look, and ride, than sit at home grumbling on the net.

No, this is pink

she's a nonce

He wants 500 and expresses that hes doing me a favour. I feel this is ruining the friendship, or am I being unreasonable?

you're the one ruining the friendship you cnut, this is daylight robbery.

you need to give him at least all the money in your savings account aswell as £500 otherwise you will never be friends again ;)

I've heard the cyclists have to carry guns over there to stop getting robbed.

Bad news *

£500 is a fair price, I'd pay it.

If you dont like other peoples opinions dont ask for them. Especially on here, this place is infested with cnuts.

Can't you just waste time by having a wank like other teenagers?

Loving your work at the mo MrP.
Blunt, true, and funny :)

no different to what you're doing is it?

Note that the wording was "classic" bike culture.

Yes, lets all give thanks to Tarbaby for providing such a rich and life enhancing source of amusement.

Someone this funny cant be all bad.

I mean he is joking right?
