my thought on this topic is simple if you can buy a bike with 6 gears for £10 or you can buy a bike with 12 gears for £50 you would buy the one with 12 gears as it sounds a better bike pigeons are the same if you ever sell a pigeon you no in your heart what its worth if it doesnt produce you kill if it doesnt earn its perch you dont house it ,its there for 1 reason and 1 reason only its a athelete if you race pigeons you buy pigeons not ducks you always buy to strengthen your team and your team will never get any better without new blood thats why we all buy and sell i didnt get to the top buy flying free birds i purchased birds from £40 /£250 and i now believe im getting there im now looking for knew blood in staff-van reets and hopefully now im on this site some might come my way for the right price ?who nows
