Hey Buddy! See what I mean Bro. It's like that. I personally didn't like the bag myself it was clumsy and awkward and too small (* probably why it was discontinued or some other reason.) but it looked great! So no I don't want it. But I will surely ride and drink some suds with you. Hugh" *I

I found it the Atlantis brichure on Jim's site. 950 smackers it was. One thing also few remember was the very original ones were longer in TT and front center. They changed them after that first run. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners

[RBW] Re: FS: Last Nigel Smythe tweed country bag

That is about right Christopher for the original Atlantis price as in 1999. I still remember the original brochure of it. The presale price may have even been 850, I'm nkt positive as I parted with all the Riv brochures I had. I could have bought one but decided on a local custom frame instead

[RBW] Re: FS: Last Nigel Smythe tweed country bag

A NIB Glorius/Wilbury frame is $3500 now, and I don't remember an Atlantis ever being under $1200. My recollection is it hit 1500 and climbing pretty quick. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To unsubscribe from this group

[RBW] Re: FS: Last Nigel Smythe tweed country bag

Grant just listed his definitely-not-new 1999 Atlantis frameset for $1100. I think retail was $900-ish in 1999 but would need to go back and check to be sure. It's a fair price in comparison to a new one but not in comparison to what it cost when new. I didn't hear anyone cry foul. I've also

I have bought and sold a SimpleOne and a Bleriot. I have for sure not broken even on either of those. If profit is the motive that's fine. At least we know his markup is shockingly low which makes me think business acumen isn't the strong suit. Which then begs the question why share the

I responded because this is an opinion forum and I have an opinion on this rancid bullcrap. And I reject the assertion that a lot of us have made a profit on an old Rivendell. The general trend from new-to-older is the price drops a bit to each successive owner, even with something like an

I am sure there a lot of people on this list who have made money selling an Atlantis, Ram, Rom, Bleriot, Sam, or some other frame on this list. The prices have gone up and up and the prices have been adjusted accordingly. I see nothing wrong with asking more than you paid for something and I

[RBW] Re: FS: Last Nigel Smythe tweed country bag

While I agree with Nick on all points, everybody would have gotten through their day just fine if they just didn't buy the OP's bag if they didn't want it. Nothing productive comes from people posting WHY they aren't going to buy the OP's tweed bag. If the OP's price is out of line for any

[RBW] Re: FS: Last Nigel Smythe tweed country bag

I think "tacky" best describes the actual price offered and then "increasingly douche-y" the tone of the OP's posts. Can't imagine wanting to have a beer with anyone based on that. Most of the responses seem pretty level-headed and calm to me, which is one of the reasons I like this group so

[RBW] Re: FS: Last Nigel Smythe tweed country bag

I have to agree with Garth on this one. If I wanted the bag bad enough I'd pay what Richard was asking. Asking being the key word here, if I didn't want it for $200 I'd offer up what it was worth to me and he could take it or leave it. Win, lose or draw I wouldn't get to rattled about it

Ugh The idea that it's somehow more common in the real world to tell a person that you paid less for an item than what you are charging them, when does that ever happen? Also, for me, the idea that someone new has to reimburse your past shipping cost because you didn't like what you chose

[RBW] Re: FS: Last Nigel Smythe tweed country bag

Richard I guess you confused everyone as to your asking price. You said* I'm asking 200 $ shipped. it cost me just shy of 160$ after tax and shipping. *So this reads as $200 and not the under $160 (your cost)you now say you intended to sell it for. You can understand the disconnect. Good

Interesting response from folks, if Richard had not listed his original price (which i don't think he needed to do) would the reactions be the same? We're talking about an item that is not made anymore--and has not been made for quite a long time. The question shouldn't be if it's icky that
