I bought a bmx bike waaaay back in 91 or so. It was a brand I'd never heard of and only cost $35, but I didn't care about the brand since it was a very unique frame. I rode the crap out of it for several years and even had it stolen once, though I was lucky enough to get it back missing half it's parts.Fast forward to now. I haven't ridden it for a few years now and finally decided to try selling it first on craigslist then ebay. I've had lots of interest and several offers for about $100 or less. A week or so ago a guy dug up my ad and made me an offer. $500 I said sure but asked him to thoroughly check out all the pics and be totally sure he wanted it before we went further. He again checked the pics and offered $400. I said yes but he'd have to pay shipping and he agreed! I'm still pretty happy with the final price even though he came down. There's a slight crack in the seat tube that's been there as long as I've had it, just never noticed it cause it never sat long enough to gather rust and be so obvious, just always looked like a scratch.He says he'll paypal me the money monday......we'll see what happens, but if he pulls through I'll be fairly stoked!
Diane...you should snopes this!
ya some guy kept emailing me about my camaro that i sold.. he "lived" in canada but kept saying he was going to have it shipped to florida to where his dad lived?? and yup i got that famous quote.. i'll send you a cashiers check and i would have to pay the shipper from the check then ii would keep the difference. i kept telling me to look at the pictures. he kept typing like he didnt know english.. like grammar and punctuation. his "name" was wong diaz. told him to CALL me but he never did and he said he did but he didnt. so yup... SCAM!!

i have an old bmx bike that is worth roughly 450 bucks, it depends on the brand.
And please let there be NO snopesing in my thread, I hate that site with a passion!
There's somebody who knows what's up! This is a rare, very rare bike. I've only found ONE person at an area bike shop who knew what it was or anything of it's value, and that was the older mom owner. The "old school" deal hounds are all over craigslist and are the only ones who've contacted me, save for one guy who didn't know what it was and offered me very little then began asking who made it.The brand is gjs. I didn't know what it was when I bought it but quickly learned of it's rarity. And please let there be NO snopesing in my thread, I hate that site with a passion! A quick little search did provide this though http://www.bmxmuseum.com/bikes/gjs/ , http://cgi.ebay.com/Minty-oldschool-GJS-A-frame-fork-BMX-Rare-version_W0QQitemZ330089744360QQihZ014QQcategoryZ56190QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItem
Pretty cool looking bike.Looks like Oddysey pit bull brakes and Powerlite bars?.
I started checking the vintage bmx sites but didn't join for fear I'd do a search and find out it's worth way more.
Abandoned hobbies I never abandon, just push to the side
Same here. I have a whole garage of "pushed to the side" hobbies.
