Just got some Bonnie badges!!!!
|
|
Woo hoo!!! I just won a set of Bonnie badges from the UK eBay site!!!! I don't think I payed too much. Seems like they're hard to come buy or tons of $$$.
Here's the eBay link....
HINCKLEY THRUXTON / BONNEVILLE 790 TANK BADGES **NO RESERVE**
It ended up being $93.07 ($58.87 for the part and $34.20 shipping). Sound fair? I'm totally stoked!!!!

Good to hear!!
Once I started to see the bidding happen in the <5min mark I began to get nervous and put in my ultimate max and then started to worry that I was just getting caried away.

Here's some of the Excel magic I had going on so I could quick conversions to figure what I was gonna bid. LoL

I bid with 5 seconds on the clock, be damned if I'm going to raise the item price.

I wish I would have on this one. I had never bid in the UK before so I wasn't sure if there was gonna be some "paperwork" to do before the bid went in. I submitted mine at the 1:59 minute mark. It went right in and then I had 1:58 minutes of agony.

Nah, the paperwork burden appears to belong to the seller. Maybe, why some won't ship to the USA?

Good for you!
Is he shipping them to you or me?

Hey Ade!
Waiting on the guy to get back to me post-auction. I sent him a message firming up the total cost before I submit my payment. Unless you think the guy is robbing me at 22 pounds for shipping or something goes awry, I'll probably just go through him for shipping. Save you some trouble.
Thanks for offering though! Could I possibly count on you in the future?

I don't know the shipping cost to the US so I guess he has checked with Royal Mail first.
Should be good for the future. Second thoughts, rather than risking losing stuff in the post, send me the airfare and I'll deliver in person ...
What? Why is everyone looking at me and going

Ha ha!!! Wish I could! Acutally, if I was gonna drop the coin for personal delivery, I'd just pick it up. It'd be fun to take a ride on a Triumph in their home town.

Keep me posted (PM) on anything you're looking at. During my travels for work I might be near to stuff to pick up.
You know we need pics when they're on the bike don'tcha? It's the law.
