Is the BMX OS bubble beginning to burst or are people worried about spending?

Had a brief discussion with Flaz last night about how things aren't selling at the moment (£1400 Skyway Grafs aside).
I got a bargain PK Ripper Looptail but my redline stuff has not had much interest and nor has his 400 crankset.
is this down to Redline stuff not being wanted or a general downturn in BMX prices or are people worrying about unnecessary spending in a dodgy economic climate?
Thoughts please?

I think its to do with a number of factors to be honest. Prices have gone through the roof lately and to me its turning into a rich man's game. I can't afford or justify the cost anymore. £250 for mx1000's is just silly.
I think also a lot of people are bracing them selves for a recession so naturally hobbies are the 1st thing to suffer in a bid to keep heads above water.
With the growing interest in old school you would expect demand to increase but i don't see that happening - i agree its harder to sell on parts than it was last year and i'm relatively new to the hobby, so i guess anyone that has have been into it for years would have noticed an even bigger change.

I just think people are keeping their stuff at the mo. There's hardly ever any 'really' nice bits and bobs that are in the for sale section these days. Always the same sort of gear ie DC 901's etc.
I also think that Redline f+f's are a bad seller. I think that GT's are too. Not sure why? :uglystupid2:
400's were a 'wanted' item about 2 months ago as a few people had Laserlite builds and they needed them. Maybe they have them now?
If there was a GEN 1, TA, Kuwi Laserlite, Harry Leary, Ripper, Quad etc up for sale on here they would sell instantly.

Post xmas blues still, coupled with adrenaline junkies needing their hit of powder in the winter months, all back to usual come summer I reckon ;)
