Just curious regarding price..

Are BSAs priced lower here in Sweden compared to your countries?
This one has an asking price of around £2700....actually same as I paid for mine in November...

In the UK, if it runs and sounds OK it would probably fetch about £3000 - £3500 as a private sale, more if it was in a dealer's shop.

£3000 - £3500 as a private sale

Was hoping for a bit more, both are insured for 4.500
Better tell her to specify plastic handle on the box instead of brass *conf*

don't think I'll be cashing in Bob, even though I lost a bit on the pot as I retired 2008 just as the crash took hold things certainly got worse since, I had enough health issues to get an enhanced pension (ha cause they thought I wouldn't last very long) came out at twice the normal they would have paid, Oct this year I'll have the better of them  *smile*

I would hazard a guess of at least $6000, maybe more USA if it runs as good as it looks.

$6000

That's about £4000, which might be a bit on the high side, however is it an auction or to buy at that price (sorry I don't speak Swedish Johnny J)

Really?! ;-)
It´s £2700 accepted price or highest bidder, so it might sell for a lower (or higher, usually not) price.

Fairly close to the price I paid for the plunger. And more or less in the same state.

I keep an eye on Blocket. Prices in Finland are considerably higher than Sweden. That particular bike doesn't seem that cheap, but I've seen a lot of pre-OIF A65s coming up at very reasonable prices on that site.
