Prices are still sky high for the OZ and Thai boys, they're paying big bucks for good parts, no signs of slowing there.

Why isnt this working:
I've been trying to sell on some half decent parts over the last 3 or 4 weeks but certainly not achieving the figures I thought I would, or getting back what I paid for them in the first place in quite a few instances. I suppose they are only worth what someone wants to pay at the end of the day but I definately think prices are down from a sellers perspective, in the 'old school' sector, and the market place seems generally slow. That said I've only advertised on here and EBay. I'm unsure what things are like anywhere else to be honest.

Si... :daumenhoch:

I would say a good 80 per cent of stuff on Facebook isn't selling at the moment,unless they are decent parts that are dirt cheap.
I have also noticed parts on ebay are generally selling lower than a few months ago.
Good if you are building,but not so good if you are selling.
From my point of view I try not to think about getting my money back on stuff or achieving high prices.
If I need to raise money for new parts or a build I tend to take the stack it high,sell it cheap method,which usually works....

Spen69:
Yep, very slow to sell stuff and the prices i'm putting my brother's stash out at is pretty low. Still getting haggled but the stuff is better being used than cluttering up my garage.

Must admit the cost of postage is criminal now so I try and drop stuff off if I can to help out with the prices :coolsmiley:

factory pilot:
The good stuff is rare and harder to find ... The moneybag collectors have driven the prices of these parts out of the reach of most of us and people can't afford to build anymore ..

The used parts are also too expensive ... We're all guilty of expecting our money back or more on our parts because this has been the norm for years as the scene has grown and blossomed .. I guess it's saturation time .. A lot of people have done all the builds they are are ever going to do and are hoarding parts "just in case they need them"

It's also a Summer thing .. People have finished builds and are waiting for the winter to come along to get building again .. Every ride there seems to be new faces excited by the whole thing and passionate about future builds so we'll see I guess?
