Destroyers of the past, present and future

I don't sell anything...

But what if one complete helps restore multiple others? So in actuality you are making more completes. Doesn't sound that bad.

I disagree with the break one up to complete a few other in need. The one complete is correct in year, paint shade, and weathering.
An assembled from pieces bike may be repainted to color match and incorrect parts for the year on manufacture.

ill give you the weathering... but everything else could be a perfect match.

if it were me everyhting would remain intact, complete etc etc, but that is not the world we live in. it all comes down to what someone else commented, it is up to the buyers. if there is no market for it then no one would do it.

i dont think this trend will ever stop

If I have a worthy complete original paint bike to sell, I set the price at close to the sum of all parts. If it doesn't sell right away, I'll hang onto it as long as I have to, before I see it parted out. I did once part out a complete original girls Monark, but the guilt of doing so made me vow never to do it again. Also in my past, I've bought parts from bikes that I've known were complete originals, and I have taken the vow to never do that again either. I do sell loose parts, but never from complete original bikes no matter what the gender. This is the Confessional isn't it.

Nice ORIGINALS........was the thread

Seems like some got off mark. Post regarded parting out nice original paint, complete originals.
Not the act of parting out bikes in general.
Many complete rough shape bikes have helped to build other projects.

I also think exceptions can be made with super common basic models. Blue ladies 50's hornets/dx models for instance....seems to be millions of those out there...

Schwinn BC

The Black Prewar Schwinn That is being parted out on Ebay now was at Memorylane Show 2 Times with no takers. The person selling it has been selling off his collection.. It will be interesting to see what the parts bring at the end??Looks like more than he was asking..

 

[cyclingday]

I contacted him earlier in the week, and he said that he had listed it twice for $1,650 with no takers.
I never saw those listings, otherwise I would have snagged it for sure.
He said that once the decision to part it out was made, it was too late to purchase it in a bundle.

Hopefully, enough of us bail out on the prospect of trying to win all of the actions, and somebody can at least get all of the paint parts to keep this beauty together.
