Can get you a box of Mars Bars if you want fella

Key to selling? Either sell at a bargain price or just wait for the right person to fid your item. Patience is the key I guess. Shame I can't practice what I preach! Why hasn't anyone brought my bars yet!!!??????

Ah I know lack of pictures...well they're up now so I'll just sit here until they're sold.

Also found a couple of profile stems I'll include in the deal a hi rise quill stem and a face off quill stem, both silver.

Oh and a silver ahead stem which could do with new bolts but is good otherwise.

Hi Tel All gone .... that's good buddy

Sawston "where am i going wrong? I couldn't sell water in the desert!"

You can only sell water in the desert if it's in short supply, the shorter the supply, the greater the demand, the higher the asking price. Try to sell too expensive and even those who will die without that water wont be able to pay because it's too much ... more than they have.

Buying: Always buy thus, for each £100 spent you must be able to shift quickly at low low prices and still raise £300 from that £100 outlay. If pushed you only need to find about £150 to get your money back (there are always costs to buying & selling" Buy at £100 & sell at £100 you'll lose around £15-£20.

Do Not buy top end machines, then break them, it's pointless. Best example I can show you was a guy from Wigan who inheritted a Hetchins Opus "special 1 off build" complete with Campagnolo 50th anniversary groupset. The bike was built as a gift from Hetchins to the owner, and special beyond Hetchins normal standards. His total haul for this criminally broken up masterpiece was just over £2400, yet it was worth and would easily have found a buyer at £5000-£7000. My gripe was that this 1 off was destroyed beyond repair since before being "carefully stripped" (no such thing) it was absolutely pristine and never ridden, a genuine collectors piece. The mere fact it was stripped devalued it by around half becuae of marks left when we remove parts. It is impossible to leave no trace of damage once a part has been fitted, it leaves pressure marks / torque marks.

Anyways, the seller made 2 fatal mistakes. 1) he broke up a seriously special bike and thus devalued it, 2) he made more than me wince at his silliness which made me walk away from buying the whole lot & rebuild it. I was a genuine buyer, but he was eager to strip and coin in his pennies because he was in a hurry.

Selling: always sell at a price below the normal price ( sale sale sale ... how many times have you seen that in a store window ???) I buy at £10, the rrp is £30 I sell at around £16-£21 depending on the mood of buyers. Key words "mood of the buyers". After this, it's all common sense

All the best lads, off to watch timetrial of "Muttonchops". Laz

Whoever purchased these if they would like to sell me one on I'd be interested in an medium sized chrome quill stem and some chrome drop handlebars. The more well priced the better!
