I wonder how much cash has changed hands on this site?

[Bob]

Oh my, I think we the RetroBike community may have a problem!

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Yes I have just spent 1 and a half hours working this out

Going along the lines of what REKIBorter wrote I took a cross section of the MTB for sale section of 5 pages evenly spread through the 715 page history, i've only added up the items marked as sold (the number would be A LOT bigger but many ads have had the prices deleted) and i've been very conservative with different currecies eg 1 USD to 1 GBP

Here's my findings:
Average amount per thread
page 715 = £11.32
page 536 = £4.10
page 357 = £23.62
page 178 = £73.74
page 16 = £59.92 (I used this as most recent because most likely to have sold anything that is going to sell)

So, add them all together and divide by 5 and you get the average of £34.54

£34.54 X 48 (threads per page) X 715 =

£1,185,412.80

There's also BMX, --->98 and Roadie to add, as well as the numbers that have been deleted ... so it's probably more like atleast £2million :shock:

In answer to the original thread question
"I wonder how much cash has changed hands on this site?"
The answer would be LOTS

I've spent more than I know and certainly more than the better half knows about :shock:

Changed hands?

Its just the same few hundred quid swilling about.

It's like a giant pass the parcel for bike tat!!

I reckon it's enough that PayPal wished we didn't use the 'gift' setting.

The guy who started Paypal now builds space rockets, so I don't begrudge him a single penny of what he's made.
The guy who started Facebook is simply a prick, and he started Facebook. Prick.

Opinions stated are my own, and any legal action will be ignored.

 

[SwanHouseNappa]

Oh, and if the wife asks, I've only spent about three quid on retrobike.

Well I've bought and sold the same part in two separate deals within the week... Is that a record!

In and out I dread to think how much has passed through my PP account... Still deficit overall though!!
