February 19, 201610 yr A very original looking Bultaco Model 10 round tank for sale at the show today, asking price 4K.
February 20, 201610 yr They've tried to sell this on ebay about four times recently with a £4k starting price, not surprisingly no-one has bid. It's a scruffy looking thing with the wrong exhaust, seat, sidepanels and the tank needs a big repair. I think £4k is ambitious for a restored M10, this one is way over priced, but so is everything they sell. They want £2k for the ropey Beamish next to it
February 20, 201610 yr Author Saw the bike only in passing yesterday (too busy to look) had a better glance today and yes have to agree with you.
February 20, 201610 yr Author Also for sale today a Model 27 and a 49, not sure of the price of these though. There were a lot of bikes for sale both in the halls and outside 199a, 199b, various Montesa models also Pre 65. Edited February 20, 201610 yr by trialsrfun
February 21, 201610 yr There are inflated prices and now there seem to be Telford prices. It seems to be getting the name "The Telford Tax".
February 22, 201610 yr Also for sale today a Model 27 and a 49, not sure of the price of these though. Anyone got any pics of the M27?
February 25, 201610 yr I agree the prices were high, in some cases extremely high. The "Telford tax" bilc0 speaks about for sure is there. I saw a used bike for sale arround 5,000 Pounds that I sold time ago new (meaning restored, tuned and not used) for 3,850€. In my opinion it is a wrong policy as many potential buyers are already talking about the super high prices of bikes in Telford and for sure will stop many going to the show in the future. Aniway the show was great. Edited February 25, 201610 yr by greeves
February 25, 201610 yr Author I never saw any potential purchaser taking an interest in any of the high priced bikes.
February 25, 201610 yr There is of course more to Telford show than just bikes for sale. The Model 10 Sherpa was on e-bay for weeks at £4K. It was taken to Telford in the hope that a buyer could be sourced, obviously it didn't happen. The price of motocross machinery is even higher a Model 11 Metisse that I saw a couple of weeks ago which I reckoned was worth £4K is now for sale at £7500. The Telford show is well run and not so expensive to attend. It's a fantastic social weekend, bike sales is only an element, its not the whole event. I enjoyed your company 'Greeves' Big John
February 26, 201610 yr It will be on ebay in completed listings, the last time it was on was a couple of weeks before the show
