£325 Hetchins Magnum Bonum

[CTK]

I wouldn't buy anything off this seller after my experience. More goldenshowerofbullshit cycles than anything else.

What happened?

 

[CTK]

I know that this seller usually prices things fairly sensibly is surprising to me. I know Hetchins have a strong following, but even so...

Sensible prices have gone out the window. Things are selling for peanuts at the mo.

What happened?

Three weeks delivery and barred me after I enquired where my parts where. Jo bought some parts which turned up with parts missing, also had to wait three weeks. This wasn't covid times either.

The estate of a VCC member was made available for sale & this chancer paid peanuts for part of a massive vintage collection & flipped everything by a factor of at least 10 through his online warehouse & fleabay....fortunately a few close friends were contacted by the family for assistance on asking prices & we were able to put a stop to the fleecing....

Were they given the impression they were selling them to be part of a collection, rather than for trade?

Angry reaction to the fleecing, not the help offered.

No; the family member hadn't a clue as to values for anything merely seeing them as "old bikes"...e.g. £20 offered for a vintage lightweight, complete bike easily worth £300 + & there were many more examples of this...we reckoned thousands £ of bikes & components bought for a few hundred quid...until we came along...

Ah sounds like a wanker

Out of order indeed. Thanks for clarifying.

I'm inclined to agree.
