What am I missing here? Kids frame

[#13530270]

This would be a great replacement for my lads current Primo 14” frame. But I don’t get why it’s so expensive? I’ve made an offer that seemed fair…. £50 for an old kids sized bare frame. 
it was knocked back, and that’s fine, up to the seller what they want for it. 
But what makes it pricey? I’ve got one to sell when I swap it out, so I’d like to know 🙂

It's old and they don't make them any more, so it's **rare** and **vintage**

Sellers like that will have it for sale for ages because they believe it's something it's not, and they probably also paid a lot for it, or think they can make a good few quid out of something they found at the back of the shed. They won't drop their price so it's not worth trying, just move along I'd say

Are they cracks in the r/h dropout? £50 appears very fair to me!

I like the Lava Dome he also has, which is a load cheaper. The retro fitted disk mount could do with an additional brace though.

It's far from clean for what they're asking and whilst nice it's not the most desirable.

Think it will be occupying their shed for a while. 

I'm interested in a 14" Kula Primo frame for £50 though (or swap for a medium Cove Stiffee) as I'm planning for a 26" wheel bike now we have just moved up to 24" wheels 😉😂

@timber sounds reasonable to me. Got any piccies of the Stiffee?

@lesgrandepotato I've just DM'd you a photo link (if that works).

Got an old Stuff frame for my eldest for £50 a few years ago, she’s barely ridden it. Old Al Kona HTs aren’t that sought after, even by the retro-collector crowd. 

speaking of which I probably need to more the younger child’s Cooker 24 on soon…
