for sale, 4 original BRM's magnesium, no crack, in good condition, more pics if you want... contact me" Well, on a positive note... at least the seller is admitting that he's no longer taking drugs. Remember, crack kills. ;D Back on topic; at $3,550USD, and reserve not yet met, it's safe to say they'll probably end up selling for somewhere in the over $5,000 range. Title: Re: OG BRMS's!

Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: Hurstvw on March 16, 2008, 17:08:52 pm Bought 2 OG BRMs couple of months ago and paid close to £1000 a piece; so I would say $8000- $9000 for the set. Nige

Post by: Gunter on March 17, 2008, 07:09:14 am Well, on a positive note... at least the seller is admitting that he's no longer taking drugs. Remember, crack kills. to all : I know Stef very well and for those who know him this guy might be the one with the biggest callook heart from all of us he has many sets ORIGINAL I prefer the term OEM for that case and not OG with the negative conotation and not only BRM wheels I know he sells for other collections , and believe me what he has, he also paid BIG TIME MONEY for it and got nothing for cheap at all so please in this case hold your horses (or how is that being said ?) why do you think he is not putting the wheels on the lounge again ? Gunter Hofmans Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: Lids on March 17, 2008, 07:17:27 am i got offered a pair of NOS ones last year for $4k, said no, and bought a bathroom instead!
Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: empicolector on March 17, 2008, 07:57:27 am something funny going on here..... this about the 4th set this seller has sold or has said was sold in the past..... Empi collector, you said to me that the seller was ok but the man must have more BRMS's than i have cars or they never get sold as hes waiting for big money ?

I mean, whats the point in bidding on auctions from those kinda sellers only to have it pulled before auction end! Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: oldbug on March 18, 2008, 13:25:00 pm +1
i'm ok with you Joe ! I hate this guys how are using ebay to find buyers >:( specially when they use wrong method, when they lie : "The seller ended this listing early because the item was lost or broken."

Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: Rennsurfer on March 18, 2008, 19:27:55 pm Thus, reaffirming why I loathe eBay. It's evil and the scammers that abuse are even more so. Which is rather sad... the original concept of said website was actually a pretty cool idea, back in the '90s, such as it were. Clearly not the case, these days, I'm afraid.
Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: Joe_G on March 18, 2008, 20:28:36 pm So are they sold or broken? ??? ???

Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: oldbug on March 18, 2008, 22:40:01 pm Just keep this pictures in your mind, perhaps one day we will see another time this picture for a set for sale on ebay with an auction near $15000 (a friend of him) ;D
Or perhaps he is playing with friends to increased auction ? Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: Russell on March 19, 2008, 08:39:09 am Guys
The wheels are sold, we have agreed a deal which will see them on Tar Babe, the other interested bidding parties were in the states and with the cost of shiiping and insurance the pirces was going to be silly, however for me i can collect at the volksworld show, no shipping no insurance. The seller has spoken to the other parties and they also agreed that the cost would be too high including the shipping/insurance. The price is fair and also cheaper than the last set i purchased, i would say that as mentioed before original BRMS are selling for approx £1000.00 each. Steph, has agreed to do this for me as the wheels i was planning to use are currenyly being restored for the UnderDog project im doing, he was prepared to help me out for this car without being silly or adding a "Oh its russell ritchie tax" ! We all agree ebay can be bad however sometimes a seller can be happy with a deal and rather than hold out except it, it works both ways rather than us bidding more than we want just to get something...... staright talking deals are the best way no shit. So to end, Steph has done me a favor, has helped to get Tar Babe back on the track correctly and help preserve another piece of VW History, so thanks are required not abuse. PS dont know about the raders not me anyway. PPS about 6 weeks ago i was offered two sets of BRMs one in the states for $ 15000.00 and one in the Uk for £ 6500.00, guess what i never purchased either but funny how that "vw VAT collector" tax was included again !!!!!!!! Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: Gunter on March 19, 2008, 08:46:20 am Stef and Russell I was happy to assist
please all sometimes it is good to wait with comments till final result is known is this particular case all parties have been contacted and this deal ended up good for Russell and TarBabe so also good for us because we get to see TarBabe life and racing again ... and that is what we all love Stef did not choose for the money as in this deal he is loosing but for the good cause ,we made it all happen for all of us to enjoy hope you can in some way understand why some things are being done, like Russell also explained (thanks Russell) Gunter. Title: Re: OG BRMS's! Post by: Joe_G on March 19, 2008, 09:19:57 am Hi Russell, I know what your saying but if
sometimes a seller can be happy with a deal and rather than hold out except it, why not put a Buy It Now on them? and surely this rather than us bidding more than we want just to get something...... is what eBay and auctions are all about. Bid to the amount your are happy to pay and if some guy wants them more he pays more and gets them??It's just a bit of a pet hate to watch auctions disappear 'cause someone has 'backdoored' it. If the seller is going to do that just put them out in the open market, no? So what cars you bringing to VoWo then Russ? We'll need to talk non VWs ;D |
