My buddies ebay add for an 1984 Skyway BMX Bike - Crazy

[Krazybones]

We knew it was a very desired bike as a kid, but dang the bidding is up to $1000 now.
Just thought I would share as it is one of those "Who Knew" kindof things. Sortof like a Barn find - LOL

I think I need to take it off some sweet jumps before he ships it.

 

[moneypit]

its gonna go up alot more unmolested and complete $$$$$ I guess 16-1700

 

[Krazybones]

Hope so for his sake.
I have seen it hanging in the basement at his moms for as long as I have known.

Still crazy, I guess it being the Original White helps a ton as that was the original released color for that bike.

 

[moneypit]

if he had paper work for it add 20% Vintage BMX is going to explode in the next few years as the children of the 80s get $$$$ and want to buy their childhood back

So this thing is like the Hemi Cuda of bikes?

 

[Krazybones]

I know I want my old Schwinn Predator back - LOL
That was a sweet Freestyle Bike though.

 

[DetroitStyle]

Yep, vintage BMX is the hotness right now. My old Dyno Detour would have pulled some serious bucks. I think I sold it at a garage sale for $50

 

[DarkoStoj]

not really the PK ripper is the big $$$$$

 

[RBOD]

Judging by the questions people were trying to snake him and buy it cheap. Thankfully he didn't take any offers.

X5875864. I sold my mint Predator to a friend for a measly $40. Bad bad move

Hmmm? here is a PK Ripper from a Retailer for $800. Are there different PK Rippers?

Those are remakes. While still sweet (and I do want one!), they aren't original PK Ripers.

 

[NightmareSS]

OMG I had one just like that in blue. It was awesome because I would leave blue skid marks on the sideways haha! I had no idea years later that would still fetch some money. I think I sold mine in a garage sale for like $5! DOH!

On a side note, I almost bought this one a few months back (the white one):

those are the reissues, the reason the ripper pulls so muck is they broke probably 80% broke when new

Ok, so this is the LS-6 Chevelle of bikes :lol:

LOL, so the inferior POS product is worth a bunch now due to Rarity in that case. Weird
