Ebay and auction watch: let us know if you see something

[biggs682]

@Paulus
Prices are low and look to be staying low due to post-Covid over-supply, financial constraints and wider issues. So it's not worth even buying and storing*.

If things don't start selling again soon there will be no point in me doing a nightly perusal of e bay etc etc and I will have to talk to swmbo instead 😃

This one has to be worth the asking price for the saddle and drinks bottle and cage if it's an original cage and bottle https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3589627404696808/?ref=facebook_story_share

Good afternoon,

Pricey but resprayed and the respray looks good in the photos, 23 1/2 though so quite large but well worth keeping a watch on/making an offer.

He also has a Dawes with similarly low wear

Not into racing bikes, but that does seem a bargain. Raleigh branded nuts alone go for silly money. Saddle and tool bag worth a few bob. Then the rear light. Well spotted

Good evening,

A Raleigh Record Sprint in Sutton Coldfield for £70.

Are we sure?

Google Record Sprints for those transfers and look at fork crown or lack, brazed on DT shifter or band on, location of 501 sticker, components in general and the lack of gold.

Raleigh made so many variations that anything is possible but my first impressions raise a few warning flags in my own mind.

That looks like a Raleigh Record, not a Raleigh Record Sprint.

My Raleigh Record Sprint had Reynolds 501 tubing, they were Black and Gold like a John Player special. Not a special bike, apart from a lot of gold bling brakes, cranks, levers, mudguards. I sold it.

Here is my mint example:
