I was wondering if the snipers would appear...

Pics of packaging and bike in the box for Adam.

Not taking it out ever again now..

Photo in other thread was taken on day of posting, and I'm now fearful of taking it out of the box in case I drop it or snap something.

Jasper did you out bid me on the american one:mad:

Jasper,how much do you want for that old Bostrom that you've got lurking around?:D

Adam,American one? How what's that about,how much did that go for?

There was a Hodgy in the US for sale on eBay - auction ended last night. I think it went for around £170, with postage on top of that. I was bidding on it, but managed to source the one I've agreed to buy so I dipped out.

OK boys,don't get too excited,but i think i may have located a Bayliss 2000 & a Bostrom 2000!!!
I don't know how much they're going to come for or whether they are definatly available,the guy's going to check when he gets in!!
He's pretty certain that he's got them though!!
As you know,i've got the Bayliss so i don't need it,but i would be willing to purchase it & offer it to one of you guys,or maybe swop it(Jasper are you listening,that Bostrom & test bike sounds good to me)!!
As long as i end up with the Bostrom i don't really mind!!

Any thoughts?:cool:

Interesting stuff! How did you manage to track them down?

I've only recently really started to try to track the ones down that i've not got,but i've been collecting since 99,didn't realise just how many people were doing the same!! It's just alot of surfing & e-mailing!!

Trouble is everybody follows ebay & other such sites so they all know what money they're doing,so there's no bargains to be had anymore!!:sniff:

Nevermind,as long as it keeps me busy!!:lol:

Don't really know what to do about the ones i've tracked down,i don't think they'll cone cheap & i only really need the Bostrom,suppose i could buy them both & put the Bayliss on the bay to recover some of the purchase costs,if nobody on here wants to do some sort of deal!!

Adam may be up for the Bayliss? It's not something I'm after. Wouldn't mind a 2000 Fogarty though if the same seller has one?

I'll ask him mate,no problem!

Nice one :)

Found a 2000 foggy on a website for sale at £39.99.

Actually correction it was 1999......

bb, count me in for the Bayliss, depending the cost though, but really interested.

Adam,sorry yes it was me!And yes,i now have Two.Baylissboy,you get me a Bayliss 2000 and i'm sure we can do a deal on the Bostrom.Don't know about the test bike,'cos i haven't got it yet!!It not be worth anything!!

Adam,if i don't need the Hodgson,you can have first refusal,if BB has one now!;)

you greedy bugger, thought that was mine last night. i now have to pay more for one.:P

I only got it to fund a Bayliss!!Sorry!:(

no worries mate, only kidding.

adam if you want a hodgson you can have one of a mate of mines for a decent offer,ive talked him into selling it for you as hes not that into his bikes anymore

i may also be able to get the 2000 reynolds and a foggy 2000 too if the moneys right, all with boxes and never seen the light and he may also have the hodgson 2003 title bike but i dont know what that ones worth

send me your offers for the models and i'll see what i can do for you boys

Deej - I've U2U'd you about the Foggy 2000.

Another Hodgson 2000 on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...sPageName=WDVW

RGV.250.p's proxy bid's probably £200 again, like last time, be interesting to see how high that one gets.

I hate it when there are so many days left on an item, im not one for waiting. I now have a Hodgson. many thanks deej really kind of you. Just bought one off Mr S. i already have Hodgsons 2003 bike, and have a reynolds 2000 and a Hodgson 2001 coming from Australia, cost me £100 including postage for both models. lucky me hey. i would have gone for the Foggy but let TF have it, another will come up. I would like a Hodgson 2002 then i will have all his.
Thanks again deej. Just out of intrest what would your mate take for the Hodgy 2000? u2u me if you dont mind.

I got me a '99 Foggy bike last night and just bought a red Monster.Neither of them the rarest in the world but just what I need for my collection.
Next up is either a 2003 Shakey Monstermob,(quite a few on Fleabay)or a Chili bike.
I keep seeing these 'rare'Imola bikes,so rare there is always one for sale somewhere!;)
Recently missed out on an '03 PSG-1 Chili,although Ive heard the '04 998.5 bike will be out soon.Hmmmm.............!
Cant wait for the 999's,it would be great to get Martin,McCoy and JT's bikes.
Thank gawd for an understanding wife!

deej,i'm interested in the Hodgson 2003 bike,can you tell me how much your mate wants for it?

I'm moving into 999's now that the 996/998 collection is nearly complete!:roll:

Not got any answers on the Bayliss 2000 or the Bostrom 2000,but i'll let you all know as soon as i do!!

Sorry Adam,but jasper's been promised first refusal on the Bayliss,he's been begging me to swop the one i've already got for ages!!:cool:

Thats ok mate, keep me in mind if you find another please.

TF there is a Foggy 2000 on ebay 6957737988.

BB are you collecting just 996/998 winners or the whole lot?

see, I told you you'd see the light;)

I'm collecting all the 996/998 not just winners,i only need the Bostrom 2000,Corser 99 & that dodgy test bike that jasper's got!!:lol:
I'm now waiting for a Reynolds 2000 & a Hodgson 2000 to arrive!!
I think i've got 31 bikes so far,i'll collect any others as the come out!!
Moving into 999's & Moto GP now as well,i'm only collecting Dukes!!
I'll still keep my eyes open so if anything rare pops up i'll offer them to you guys!!;)

PS i started another tread,computer on go slow again!!!:D
