they just offered me one as i had bid on the other. £200 if i want it.

[Twinfan]

Obviously got a few then £200 is a fair price for a severely limited bike I guess, but I can't help feeling they're cashing in a bit. I admired Hizzy a lot, so I'm loathe to fund anyone profiting from his death. Just my opinion.

Did GPL ever release a run of signed Hizzy reps? They haven't got 100 of them lying around at £200 a pop have they??????

[Desmondo]

That kind of stinks TBH, not sure I'll be ordering from GPL again.

[adam]

Catch 22 really, if they have them they need to sell them, its a business. It just hurts because Hizzy isnt with us now. With any form of art when the Author,artist ect has passed away their work increases in value, thats the way it is and always will be.

If i hadnt bought so many recently i would have one, as a collector this is quite a special addition. Oh well, sorry to go on so much.

[Desmondo]

So why not sell them as GPL on ebay rather than just a normal username making it look like you've only got one on offer?

[Twinfan]

That's what I'm wondering. It is down as a company, but not GPL. A bit too cunning IMO.

[adam]

yep fair comment. All you can do is stay away.

[deej]

why not just buy form the gpl website and save them the money

or ring them up and ask to speak to jj direct and see waht he has to say


i dont mind paying it to one of you guys but not them

im surprised they got any signed ones as minichamps stopped making them as soon as hizzy died thats why their so rare, his ex wife stopped them making them as she didnt want people cashing in on his death

oops deleted but i still stand by it in my own corner
