Where have all the 'good' parts gone??

I am in the middle of doing 2 builds at the moment and looking for choice survivor/rider parts but also mint items too. I have found on here, the Museum and Ebay, that there seems to be a lack of good quality branded parts available. I mean, no offence to anyone but, some parts I have seen for sale recently look like they were dragged from deepest depths of the darkest corner in your garage "Oh, there's that mashed up set of pedals with no bearings, end caps and rusty axles. I will post them for sale and ask £50 for them"  :crazy2:   :wtf:

Where is it all? Have most people got the stage where they won't let go of items for fear of not getting them again? Have all bikes that have been built, ben put together with minty quality parts?

Whats going on?

PS:- And please don't say Dave's (Brummies) BMX parts lockup  ;D

PPS:- I need a good surviving set of chrome 401's with sealed BB, Hutch Pro bars in chrome, Hutch bear traps (not JDB) and a set of silver Bullseye hubs please  :-*

I think you've hit the nail on the head Terry. The really really mint parts are starting to dry up and as such people, including me, are holding onto such gems for fear of not finding them again. The really good, mint parts are bloody hard to find now............................ But it is still out there.  8)

PS: I have a set of Hutch Pro pedals if you're interested, mint bodies but fooked cages where I've fallen off my bike a few times.  :-[
