So where are we now?
oldschoolace:
It seems decent parts have dried up on here and the bay. If we assume what isnt sat on a build is sat in a hoarders attic then when will we ever see them again? Prices arent what they were and its hard to see how they will ever be again?
Are people going to take a hit on what they may have paid? i doubt it, so we are all up shit creek :D

;D You know you will get the "here we go again" gang along shortly to tell you "here we go again...the bubble has burst....blah blah blah".
It has dried up mate, to be sure, and not just here and ebay, but on Facebook too. People have hoarded, got bored and trying to sell it all at last years prices, and there are just too many attic fillers about. No one will sell because they will pay double for the same part when/if they want it again, and no one will buy as the prices are still high with people trying to recoup their initial outlay.
The only people who are benefiting from it at the moment are those who bought dirt cheap and selling high, if it sells, and those dealing behind closed doors, because all the flippers have made it this way. Sadly prices will not drop either, because too many idiots use ebay as a price guide, and we all know that cannot be gauged properly with shill bidding, cancelled sales after the fact, etc etc, so there is no real price stamp.
I need some parts to finish my last bike, so always shop in the US. Plenty going around over there still, buddy :daumenhoch:

I'v really felt how hard is it to finish the final parts sourcing on my builds. I don't trust buying on facebook - I've currently got an issue getting money returned for stem that was lost in the post and the last set of bars I bough the seller thought it was his prerogative to send them when he saw fit which was two weeks after I'd paid for them! Both Facebook buys.
I buy the most of my parts through the Museum now, but the recent pound v dollar dip make this hard as well.
