trialsrfun Posted February 19, 2016 Report Share Posted February 19, 2016 A very original looking Bultaco Model 10 round tank for sale at the show today, asking price 4K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 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 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Saw the bike only in passing yesterday (too busy to look) had a better glance today and yes have to agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy m Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 There are inflated prices and now there seem to be Telford prices. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted February 20, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) 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.

bilc0 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 There are inflated prices and now there seem to be Telford prices. It seems to be getting the name "The Telford Tax". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laird387 Posted February 21, 2016 Report Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hi, Just take a look at what Morton's want exhibitors to pay and I suspect it would be better described as the Horncastle Home Run........... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboxer Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 I think it'll lose popularity on future years if exhibitor costs are too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc2 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinnshock Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 So does anyone know if the M10 sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 No it didn't, neither did the equally over priced Beamish and Sprite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeves Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 (edited) 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, 2016 by greeves 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I never saw any potential purchaser taking an interest in any of the high priced bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 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 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
