Thanks @davidphilips for sharing that one , straight into my watching pile .

Carriage is pricey but it's about right if you use the paisley supplied box option

Beautiful 70s Gitane - full 531 framed with Huret honeycomb dropouts. The top Gitane bikes of that era are well respected.

Lol either that or his boss does not like them and has told him his new hobby is not collecting but selling?

One for anyone who likes Raleigh's https://www.easyliveauction.com/cat...include-clocks-watches-jewellery-sta-lot-439/

Good morning,

One for anyone who likes Raleigh's https://www.easyliveauction.com/cat...include-clocks-watches-jewellery-sta-lot-439/

I am supposed to be saving money, fortunately that looks like a 23.5inch frame, so too big.

There's one on ebay for £1,100 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/314239915815?hash=item492a289727:g:QmcAAOSw9tBjMLIK at the moment

So how much will it go for? Almost nothing as it is a large framed old bike, £400-£500 to someone hopeful of "an easy profit" or £1k plus "cus it is gold and gotta be wurth it man"?

If it were in my size I would be tempted and actually ride it!

But the fees......, they make ebay seem cheap, 15%-25% commission paid by the seller and a 25%ish buyer's premium.

Bye

Ian

You are right it will go for less than it would have done a few years back as the old steel bike's market has almost stalled in my eyes , there are some nice machine's out there for not a lot of money .

it will be interesting to see what this one goes for

Even higher fees if you bid using Easyliveauction - 27.6%!!! Cut out the middleman and go direct to https://johnmilne-auctioneers.com/buying/
24% including VAT (which is still expensive compared to just a few years ago), and they make provision for online bidding or phone bidding.
Charges for sellers are even more eye-watering:
"23. The Commissions payable by vendors charged on the Hammer Price is as follows: 25% per lot + V.A.T- up to an amount of £100.00, 20% per lot + V.A.T.– from £101.00 to £500.00, 15% per lot + V.A.T. – from £501.00 upwards.

The minimum charge per lot is £2.00 + V.A.T. and a Minimum charge per consignment of £10 + V.A.T,..."

That bike looks immaculate and just might slip under the radar (but I doubt it); very mixed* bunch of lots in the general sale, and this is one of the last to be sold.
*Including four very racy nude paintings by Robert Maxwell Wood, and a rather fine watercolour of a Hoopoe by Charles Whymper.
