[adam]

i think i will have a go for this, what have these been going for in the past?

[deej]

over 450 notes i think mate

good luck with it buddy as you'll probably need it

[adam]

anyone else going for it?

[Jasper]

OH YES!!!:D:D:D:D:D

[Jasper]

I've set my stall out-but no more than £600!!:(

[baylissboy]

Blimey,this could get really silly!!
I'm glad i've got one so i don't need to fight it out with you boys!!:biaggi:

Right then,let battle begin,may the best man win!!
(or is that the one with the deepest pockets)

Good luck to both of you!!

I thought my collecting habits were costly, but this is mental.

Please though, don't ever tell my wife the value of a Vacheron Constantin, or Panerai. She frequently wonders why we use a specialist insurer.

Speaking of which, do you guys have any specialist cover for these collections, due to their special nature / value or do you leave it to the home insurance to cover it?

[adam]

because I have paintings with a very high value i only have to let my insurers know of items above £2000, so all my minichamps will be covered without notification.

[adam]

just got a big tiling job in so the skys the limit.:sing:

[Jasper]

If you win,i'll do a deal with the Hodgson!!:D

[Jasper]

oh and the bostrom!

[smilo006]

on a slightlydifferent subject. Bought a Bayliss rep Minichapms 1:6 off Ebay recently. Seems to have all the same engine detail as the 1:12 but unlike the 1:12 the fairing does not appear to readily come off. Is this the case or?:puzzled:

Not covered by Hiscox by any chance? They're specialist in art and antiques. It's who I use, and the only firm not to take the p*ss with the quote.

Curious as it's coming to renewal time, and if there's someone as good or better....

[deej]

im just gettign a record and file of all my models and value up now so i can increase my home insurance cover

got myself the 2001 rossi and the 2002 bayliss today which is nice, only problem is i bought 2 of the rossi's thinking they were worth more than what they are so 1's on ebay for cost price, some you win some you lose


good luck with the bayliss 1 boys

[baylissboy]

Well boys,2 days to go & it's already up to nearly £250!!

Adam's leading,but no big bid from Jasper yet!!:lol:

I reckon this is going to be a £500+ job,shell the rest of us open a book?:lol:

Sorry Adam,but my money's on Jasper,i know just how much he wants it!!:biaggi:

[Twinfan]

It's going to go ballistic!

I've got a collection of these, but you boys are mad !!!! :o :o

[Jasper]

Actually,I'm thinking of shrinking my collection and maybe getting rid of the big money ones.I feel that it's alot of money to try and justify for a model,so Adam has a good chance!!:(

[adam]

Jasper I did say i will bid no more so you go for it.
Why are you going the opposite way with your collection?
You were so keen on getting this one, or are you employing Jasper Tactics here????

[Jasper]

No,no tactics mate.Just looking at potentially over £1000 worth of models thinking is it worth it?I I've got a day to change my mind!!Oh,and i always bid at the last minute!:D

[adam]

im sure you will change your mind;)

[deej]

now now children

[Jasper]

They are MY toys....................................but they are too expensive to play with!!:(

[deej]

yep now taht feeling well, i get so arsey when the cats are chasing each other around the sofa and knock the cabinet

[adam]

At least when we spend big money on our real bikes we get more out of it, I know what you mean, once in the cabinet thats it, DO NOT TOUCH.
But they still look good.

Only having fun deej. I would like to see Jasper win the Bayliss.

[Jasper]

Thanks Adam.Can't help feeling you want me to win so that i have to sell YOU the Hodgson( you do know the Hodgson 2000 is in it's original box,but the bike looks err.....Dark Blue with 1999 Infostada decals!!-legal aid included)!!-Which i will if i win the Bayliss.:D

[adam]

Not worried about the Hodgson mate, there is another on ebay which i should win, i know what its like to be after something for ages then see it come up. I had to have it.
I will end up with a Hodgson sooner or later. an orange one hopefully:D

[baylissboy]

I think there's a little "cat & mouse" going on here!!:lol:

My money's still on Jasper!!!:lol:

[adam]

:smug:

[chicken]

am I missing something here? Why is this particular one worth so much? Is that that they are limited run or that they are very expensive when new (although my 1/6 2000 Bayliss Imola could not have been anywhere close to this).

your faithfully,
:puzzled:

[adam]

there were so few made.

[Jasper]

They made 500 worldwide.So yes it's rare.

[adam]

didnt know there were so few around.

[Jasper]

Blast.Should have kept my mouth shut.I meant 5000!!!

[adam]

thats how much i am going to pay for it mate:lol::lol::lol:

[Jasper]

It looks like it will be out of my league.You get it,then we'll do a deal on the Hodgson!:D

[adam]

only kidding Jasper, if i spent that kind of money my wife would be filing for divorce.

[Twinfan]

I think the seller would want to marry you if you'd spend £5000 on it!!!!

[Jasper]

Adam,you U2U.

[deej]

:roll::D:D:D:D:roll:

[adam]

deej you look happy, have you found something?

[Twinfan]

And we have a winner...

[adam]

[Jasper]

And it's not me,is it ADAM!!:(

[baylissboy]

Well done Adam! How much did it fetch?

[adam]
