Where do you shop for your old school bmx bargains?

FB has slowly killed the scene in my opinion.
Prices have really gone up since the FB groups started.
My last build ,a Haro FST has mostly been done,albeit unintentionally with repop parts as
A I couldn't find the parts I needed quickly enough
B the only way I could get mint and reasonably priced was buying repop.
I have 3 nice bikes now,but I think if I sell them,I will never build again as it's just too expensive,so I am hoarding them.
I am getting a new kick out of BMX this summer as I have bought a 26 inch Ripper that I am actually planning to ride,I can't see me building another oldschool....

What do you type in Facebook to get on the rad site and is there any other decent bmx sites?

2 reasons I believe that many don't post or shop on here anymore is:-

A. People post and disappear. You reply in the for sale post and the reply comes maybe days, weeks later, or not at all. Facebook is instant, as you can tag the seller and they will receive an email with the comment posted.

B. It's too laborious to take pictures, post to Photobucket (if it's working), wait for it to load, then post it here. The BMXmuseum has a quick picture posting thingy. You just click the 'select images to upload', pick your pictures, and add. It's quick and simple, as long as the pictures do not exceed a certain size.

Yes there is the Tapatalk app that you can do it with. Yes Dan will use it all the time. I personally don't want the app on my phone, and it takes a while to work it out before you can post with it properly. Facebook, and now the Museum, are pretty much instant picture posting, which is a huge benefit to most people with the busy schedules in our lives.

As for selling, things are not really moving regardless of where you look unless it's dirt cheap, mint, and sought after. The run of the mill stuff will just sit and stagnate, unfortunately.
