stuntmaster:
Are prices slowing down as notice a lot of stuff not moving and auction stuff selling lower than normal .I know the whole eu crap is slowing everything down at mo . Thoughts ?

Are the current batch of collectors, buying to ride and therefore not going to pay silly money for NOS parts or maybe happy to ride repo stuff.  I look at ebay and see many parts priced too high for most.  Although, not all.  Seems to be a fair few people with plenty of pocket money most can only envy.  On a personal level, I still come across a NOS bargain now and then :).

parts prices are being pushed up by the cheque book collector for whom money is no object that want to show they have the best bikes on the scene its the same on the vw car scene  theyve not spent hours trawling ebay and various forums trying to get the parts they need its just get the visa card out and buy a complete  :bellend:

Definately downshift in prices on certain frameset recently.
Chequebook builders will eventually realise that it takes passion to build a truly great bmx. Not a bank balance. Some of the nicest bikes I've seen are not dripping in the best parts but built right. No one's bikes dripped in every awesome bit of top end kit. Shit bitd noone I know had a three piece crank.

The flip side of the coin is, that builds done with passion aren't for free either. But well said! I get your point and agree on that :daumenhoch:
