Ok, so I've never posted on the BMX Forum (not new to bikeforums, though) so I'm not exactly a dedicated poster looking for help, but maybe I can get some anyway...
I've got an old GT Vertigo, 1990 I think (serial number GH 90-- etc) that someone "looking for old BMX bikes and parts is interested in. It's in decent shape (I rode it as a 13 year old) and as far as I know, everything but stickers and grips is original. Some guy in the restoration business told me he could get $250-300 for it fully restored, and now I'm being offered $80 for it.
So now I'm checking here just to make sure I don't get completely screwed and be that sucker that trades a rare gem for a hamburger (ok, I'm exagerating, but you know wha I mean...).
All things considered, I asked for $100 for it (no shipping- local buyer), knowing that this person is probably looking to fix it up and make money on it. What do you guys think?
Thanks for any help!
