That is exactly what I thought.

I was hoping this was just fraud. Otherwise, someone is stupid.

Wait, can you explain better. Is it fake or what?

only 2 made in that size. like 50 all together.

S&M were talking about this frame on their Facebook page, and I should have told them that it only sold because the seller bumped up the price by putting in fake bids, but I didn't want to ruin their party.....


sort of

You Bastard! Took my credit! Haha "Damn, I've never seen an S&M sell for that much! Thanks for spotting this Travis."

And some comments on there from users of bmx museum even said on that page that the seller is always shill bidding.

How is it a waste of money that if in 10 years the worth of the item will grow exponentially?

5000 dollars today, 50,000 when you have kids.

Hahahahahahaha. In what universe will this frame be worth $50,000? Do you honestly think someone will pay that for a bicycle frame? It's not even worth $5,000. It only got bid up that high because the guy put in fake bids on it.

You're all assuming that there will even be a market for this shit in 10+ years (doubtful), and that some jerkoff will actually pay $50,000 for this (even more doubtful). How many limited edition '80s BMX frames do you see selling for tens of thousands of dollars today? Zero.

its shill bidding. wtf dont you people get.

Never underestimate the stupidity of people. Someone will pay that sooner or later.
