Heald VT-8 in Hereford AZ ... might be able to get it cheap?

[Sixpac440]

The guy put it up for sale as a VT-5 .. I contacted him, told him I was a Heald fan and that it was a VT-8, not a 5.
He promptly changed the title.

Heald Bronc Vt-8 Super Bronc Trail Bronc Original Mini Bike | eBay

Fast forward to today.
He just contacted me and said:
"Well if you want to buy it give me an offer"

So he is willing to go lower than $500

That bike is worth $500 all day ...

So now you know what I know ...

That MIGHT be a good deal- hard to tell from the few crappy photos he provided. I would need better photos to get excited on this one. Also, he is a first time EBay seller w/o any feedback rating- just a head's up.

Good catch on him being a new seller ...

The pics are not the best but what I can see looks nice .. being out in AZ it likely didn't get rusty like here in the mid west ...

It's too far away for Havasu Dave to snatch it, are there any Mexican OldMiniBikes members that need a durable mini bike to cross the border?

Here I go again... I thought the Vt-5 & 7 were the TrailBronc branded bikes. But the TC cover says VT-8 TrailBronc. First one I have seen this way and I have searched a lot of pictures and articles. But I am by no means an eggspurt on these but I am trying to learn.

Still learning.

Vt-8's could have a decal that says "Super Bronc" or "Trail Bronc". It depends on when it was made. I think by default, the VT-8's and 10's are and will always be called Super Broncs. it's nothing mysterious or nefarious. Just what they wanted to sell them as on that day. I guess it's kind of a quirk you just have to ignore.

Doug, I know what you mean, Doc has the big one (like your avatar), and a VT-5. I like his blue one (VT-5). I'm learning too, but have come to appreciate these big tire minis.

Most comfortable riding bike I own.

He dropped the price to $400 and it sold ... was it to a member here?

He changed his original listing from a "Buy it Now" at $ 500.00, to a auction/bid starting at $ 400.00. There was only 1 bidder. I would bet it was an OldMiniBikes member that saw this thread.
