Over inflated prices...
Quadog:
FFS 3 grand for a Quad F&F 750 for some Pro class wheels sad thing is people see this shit and use it as a benchmark think thats why no one sells stuff anymore like Swan guy says hoping to pay off there mortgages Thumbs down

Lads, as annoying (for you) as it is, you've got 2 choices here.
Put up and shut up, or do what I did; sell up, put the cash to good use and enjoy the time you would have wasted searching for parts that are harder to find and more expensive to buy, to better use. I'm more happier now knowing that I was involved in a scene at a time where literally 99% of the people involved were genuinely cool guys. We loved each other's bikes and all got on with each other, they were great days.
I think you just need to enjoy the BMX time you had, not the B M X life you have now, it's just not the same now and full of bellmets.
That Swan Guy:
Couldn't agree more Dan. Those who know me know what I had and what I have now. But I'm no longer paging eBay the world over looking for 'that? part.
I have a couple of riders and my beloved GT PWT. I'm done with the buying and selling merry go round and now chill my beans paging eBay the world over looking for Vans :idiot2: ;D

Exactly the reason why i cheated on my Quad build, some old stuff, some repop. Its not so much about having the funds to afford the items, its simply the principle of some sellers taking the absolute piss with prices.
At the end of the day an item is worth what somebody is willing to pay for it, i accept that. As a point of reference I bought a pair of OG MX1000's with cables and Tech 4 levers from Shiners in 2003 for less than 50 notes.
SDF:
Has also Facebook Old school Bmx sites wrecked this hobby? I used it well over ten years ago and found it a bit irritating. Still enjoy the hobby, but it's going to push me out in the future with the stupid prices.
