Sandcast?

(1/5) > >>

Arch stanton:
What is it, that makes some people think that including the word "Sandcast" when advertising something for sale.
Justifies a ridiculously high price?
Even if the part is common to other models.

Nurse Julie:
Because they are money grabbing Muppets and hope that someone will fall for their bullshit. I'm getting fed up with everything advertised at present, the lies, the false information and the hype, best in the world, better than from the factory etc, the name dropping of who owner / worked / sat on the bike etc. Let's the biking community down i think. I'm very tempted to give up anything to do with bikes actually and collect Species Pelargoniums instead. Biking has lost its meaning for a lot of people.

Arch stanton:
So it's not just me then.

Laverda Dave:
Don't let the bastards grind you down Julie. Real bikers don't inflate prices, hype up worthless junk or embellish histories. People who do are chances.
I can't help laughing at some of the ads placed in bike mags by these people, look at the claims made for the burnt out reck of an F2 being discussed at the moment on the forum 🤨.
The sandcast thing could be a lot worse, how much would a sandcast be worth if Steve McQueen had walked past it and actually stopped to have a look at it in a car park!

Careful Julie. Have you ever been to a competitive garden/agricultural show?

“Sniffy” is what it is.
