Are we killing this hobby with our prices?
Gnarlyscoots:
True Chris. I was actually referring to NOS/NOS mint items that I fit and sell on afterwards. Some items I just fit and swap out after photo's to ride it with :daumenhoch:
I recently sold a complete DC brake set for £160 including postage. That also included hard to come by '84 dated black cables, NOS calipers and levers before fitted, sharp lever grips and 2 pairs Tuff pads. I had £220 in that lot without postage costs. There is a guy on the Museum, UK based, selling a white brake set with 2 right levers and no cables for $425. A chrome caliper plus Kool stop pro pads sold on there last night for $175.
I sold my Pro Performer F+F, Bars, Seatpost, Seat clamp and GT headset for £200. Find another that cheap. Look at the parts I traded you for a Japanese Trickstar!
I don't come on here trying to sell a complete set Redline Flights for over £500, or 2 Pro pads for £85.
I personally don't mind getting slated for some the prices I post as I feel they are fair and anyone who has bought from me knows the quality of the item they receive but, it's here in the open where people can see and not behind closed doors where thousands are traded for 1 complete bike.

Who cares? Accept it or move on.
The ones who are in it for the hobby will still be here this time next year, the year after and so on.
The ones who whinge about the rising cost won't.
Most hobbies come at a price. If you can't afford it try plane spotting, that's free. :daumenhoch:
