Markellis Posted May 21, 2020 Share I’ve seen a few of these lately: “It’s in perfect condition except there is a small crack on the screen and it doesn’t charge, other than that it’s perfect” “Condition is like new except for a small crack on the chain stay” Huh?

Shebeen Posted May 22, 2020 Share https://bikehub.co.za/classifieds/item/dual-suspension-bikes/404231/burry-stander-limited-edition-s-works So this. Maybe I'm crass but a 7 year old bike with outdated Geo, old components etc... I would offer 20k at most. BUT it comes with a Burry tag so does a paint job and Burry make it worth more? Burry Dying was a tragedy, but his wife has moved on, surely we all should to? 65k is a whole lot of money for a really old, outdated 3rd hand bike (Moving on does not mean forgotten).I don't think this is a bike to be ridden. It won the epic, and given the emotions would probably be the highest profile bike to have ridden the race. It's a piece of art for some CEO to hang up in his office/lobby.(and was probably auctioned off for R100k). I could be totally wrong about this, Jewbacca and Eldron 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted May 24, 2020 Share Postnet isn't able to send bike parts - who are you guys using to courier small (cheap) stuff ? TheBikeRoom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansolo Posted May 24, 2020 Share Seems odd, do you have to specify it is bike parts? They ship parcels so I can’t see why they would worry about contents except if it is hazardous, illegal or dangerous goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted May 24, 2020 Share Postnet isn't able to send bike parts - who are you guys using to courier small (cheap) stuff ?I've used postnet twice now and received parts 3 times Why can't you use them? splat and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisF Posted May 24, 2020 Share I've used postnet twice now and received parts 3 times Why can't you use them? also used PostNet for bike parts in the past. Their counter-to-counter option is very affordable. They also offer counter-to-door, which costs more and only works for recipients that have a fixed address during the day. Most copy shops, such as 3@1, offer counter-to-door delivery. I know our local 3@1 opened at Level 4, and can now send these types of parcels. splat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be totally wrong about this,Well, an items worth is what someone is willing to pay for it, so maybe it is worth excessive amounts of money for sentimental reasons. I am probably just not wealthy enough to see the sentiment. gemmerbal and Wayne pudding Mol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaGearA Posted May 24, 2020 Share Most postnet branches don't ask may what's in the box, occasionally they might ask if it's hazardous but thats it splat and Skylark 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splat Posted May 24, 2020 Share Most postnet branches don't ask may what's in the box, occasionally they might ask if it's hazardous but thats it Thanks for all your responses. That has been my experience in the past. When I phoned to see if a particular branch was operational, the guy asked what I wanted to send and then said that bike parts weren't on the list because of Level 4 and all that.Best I go to a different branch then...
