Good or Bad investment?? check with this historic calculator
fischflo:
Not that unintersting question - hpw much did DX's cost then, how much today? My feeling is that you can't speak of an advisable investment. As the pickle said, it's more about the quest for THAT ol' part, the sl-c clamp, that specific oakley grip you remember. But if you really manage to make a few hundred on that specific pair - well, i guess you can speak of a 'good investment' ::).
Thing is- by by specifying that specific item here, you probably contribute to those items becoming unaffordable to those, who really really want them.
So we'd have to speak about the average sought after parts. And those ...i said it already.... will by terms of your calculator rather not be caonsiderable as good investments.
Intersting question nonetheless ;)

Firstly the parts are not available and secondly i am assuming it is going to cost him a small fortune.

It may cost a small fortune but every part is available.

The man in the shop let him have the (optional) wired remote control for free :D
According to that calculator that's 1197.25 in today's money
Technology is rarely a good investment, but in this case we got to watch a pirate copy of ET :teef:

;D my ol' man bought the exact same one. Remember thinking how cool it was that you could use the "remote" even though the lead didnt reach to the sofa.

Edit:
Here is a calculator which you may find interesting .............and maybe even a bit of fun??
:police: Under no circumstances are you to use it for anything BMX related, as this is likely to cause offence!
Thanks Griff for using it as it was intended :daumenhoch:
