He was desperate for that model!!:lol::lol:

[Twinfan]

Exactly what I thought!!!!

[baylissboy]

I'm still watching that Corser,it's the only one i need,but i think that going to do £550+!!!:(

[Twinfan]

Yep, I reckon it will. Crazy cash :o

[Jasper]

Nope nowt to do with me.BUT i have got one!The bloke that sold Adam his,had two and sold me the other!!:D

Oh,go on then.Yes it's me!!It's got a knackered box,but who cares.At least i didn't pay this bloke in Germany AND got this one £80 cheaper!

[Edited on 9-5-2005 by Jasper]

[adam]

well that f***ing bloke that sold Jasper and myself a Bayliss 2000 is no longer a registered user on ebay, luckly neither of us has paid him. *******.

[Twinfan]

I hope no-one else has paid him :(

[Jasper]

I've had an e-mail from him:

DOn`t worry, at the moment I don`t know why I a m not egistered anymoe :-) It`s mistake fom Ebay that will be solved within the next days!


We shall wait and see.Adam has something similar.

[Twinfan]

Sounds VERY fishy. I knew you'd have bought the Bayliss in the UK :lol:

[Twinfan]

Only an hour or so left on these babies - get your bids ready :lol:

As Jaspers accountant, I will be severely restricting his future purchases :)

[Jasper]

That Corser 99 did £530,too rich for me!

Just got a Haslem 2004,Haga 2004 ,Xaus 2003 & Desmosedici test bike! i'm waiting for the other 2004 & 2005 stuff now!
Had to move in 999 & Moto GP to give me more to go at!!:lol:

[Bionicle]

Still no sign of your parcel.


Did you not get my mail ??

I know where it is :)

its at the post office, the delivery address had somehow become dislodged so it was returned to the issuing post office, The problem has now been rectified and you should have it in the next 4-5 days, there is also a bonus included all I can say is its black :)

[Jasper]

Cheers mate.Thanks,i wondered where the avatar had gone.Not sure if i've got room in the Garage for a black 749 though!

Yep. £35.99 at www.swapmeetmodels.co.uk

[Edited on 13-5-2005 by Wylie1]

[adam]

thats where i got mine. very fast delivery.

[deej]

adam are you skint yet, if not you must be laying some floors up your way to pay for all these models ?? i could only just afford my sheene one

how many bsb bikes are their to collect from before 2004 as im not interested in the 999's just yet.

whats the latest with jaspers rare model ??

[Twinfan]

There are 6 true BSB bikes, and 3 others you might want to consider ;)

Jaspers rare one was supposedly going on eBay but it hasn't appeared yet..

[Jasper]

Patience!!It will be going on e-bay this week!Still not sure if i want to sell it.It's a superb looking bike.BUT it could be worth a lot of moneand is not actually part of the group i collect.!!I'm not going to let it go for less than £500 'cos it's worth that to me!So,it may not even sell with a reserve like that!We shall see.

[adam]

Hi deej, no not skint yet, but wife is:lol:

[Edited on 13-5-2005 by Wylie1] Thanks,i'll give them a bell!

I've moved into the 999's & Moto GP now,just got;
Haga 2004
Haslam 2004
Xaus 2003
Hodgson 2003
Capirossi 2003
I'll be either bankrupt or divorced by the end of the year at this rate!!:lol:

I didn't bid on the Corser 99 that went through recently,i'm into collecting these things,but i can't justify £400+ for them,that's just mad!!

It'll be interesting watching Jaspers rare test bike though,but you have to remember,it's not listed by Minichamps so only people that have been watching this site will know the story behind it!!

[Twinfan]

There's no way Jasper's bike will fetch £500, even with the story behind it. You'd have to be one SERIOUS collector who wanted every bike they've ever made to want it. It's a novelty, but not highly desirable in my opinion.

Where did you get the hodgson '03 & capirossi '03 ?

I've got all the desmosedeci bikes to date, but haven't seen the '03 gp bikes for sale for a while.

Yes, the bike is a "one off",but the fact remains,it's not an offical Minichamps release & it was probably "lifted" from the factory by an employee,so are you technically "handling stolen goods" if you purchase it? Just a thought!!

Also,you only paid £250ish,if my memory serves me rightly,so you'd be better off selling it to me for £100 & we'll say no more about it!!!:lol:

I've got all the desmosedeci bikes to date, but haven't seen the '03 gp bikes for sale for a while. I got the Capirossi 03 from GP legends,they've got a few left in stock apparently.
The Hodgson 03 came from a dealer i've located in Greece,nice helpful guy,good to deal with,not too silly with his prices & stuff arrives net day via DHL!!

I'm after the Bayliss 03 bike now,do you know of one for sale?

[Twinfan]

Also,you only paid £250ish

Baylissboy - I think he paid less than that. Around £150ish I think...

[adam]

im with some of you guys, paying £300,400,500 for one model is the next step, of which i will not be taking. i am happy with the collection to date only missing the foggy 2000, I have already started my GP collection with all the Rossi bikes and a Tamada which is quite nice. I also need to get a Haslam. Will get my reynolds 2000 and hodgson 2001 tomorrow once I pay customs £18. Bloody cheek. Still i got them dirt cheap. My Barry Sheene arrived today, very nice bike.
Waiting for the postie to deliver,
Reynolds 2000 & 2001
Hodgson 2001 & 2002
Rutter Macau 2002
I would like to get both Kato's bikes, really like the 2002. Crikey the list is endless????

[Twinfan]

I'm after a 2002 Kato NSR but I'm not paying £200 for one...

[deej]

so whats the six bsb bikes then please ?? not interested in the rutter macau rep or the wildcard 999's from last year.

ive got hodgson 00, reynolds 01, hislop 02, byrne 02 and 03 so is just the 02 rutter im missing on the 998 bsb set ??

ive got a bayliss 03 gp bike and have pre ordered my capirossi dirty race winning rep and hodgson 04, rolfo 05 too

[baylissboy]

The BSB bikes are;

Hodgson 2000
Reynolds 2001
Hislop 2002
Byrne 2002 & 2003
Rutter 2002
I don't count the Reynolds 2000 because that was a WSB wildcard or either of the Renegade 999's because they were wildcards!

[deej]

as i was writing it i thought of the rutter model.

i may get the 999 in the future when they release the bsb 999's

[baylissboy]

I'm after a Bayliss 2003 Desmosidici,anybody got one they want to sell or know of anywhere with one in stock?

Also i've been offered a Reynolds 2000,anybody interested in it,send me a u2u & i'll forward their e-mail address!!

[deej]

The one's on swapmeet are 1:6 scale. :(

Jasper, this is the definition of handling (section 22 Theft Act 1968)

"A person handles stolen goods if knowing or believing them to be stolen goods he dishonestly receives the goods or dishonestly undertakes or assists in their retention, removal, disposal or realisation by or for the benefit of another person, or if he arranges to do so"

[Jasper]

I don't think the item has been stolen,there has been no indication that it has been stolen, any wrong doing or dishonesty;therefore i don't see myself as a "handler".Thanks for the post though!

[lane748]

Just posted it to put your mind at rest mate- it seems you dont fit the description of the definition!!

[Jasper]

thanks mate.
