Is the BMX OS bubble beginning to burst or are people worried about spending?
Tefore:
maybe my thought of reason here is wrong here but if these items were not high value we would not want to collect them. otherwise we would all be riding around on aero reflex's?.
or shall i get my coat

i,d love the prices to drop ive got quite a few bits but truth be known i,d like a few more bikes to push my gobi over the edge. ive got my eye on a couple at the moment and if prices drop coolio the bits i need will be cheaper :( dont think it will though but never know

big dog there loads of stuff still out there that a lot of peeps keep hold off , i know of a least 5 peeps who have loads of mx1000 and won`t sell them and people like biaggio still have loads but he only sell the stuff he doesn`t want .i must admit i have 7 crates full of old skool stuff but won`t sell any of it as most of it is for long term projects and untill those projects are done that stuff will never see light of day .
recession or not most people will keep the stuff than sell as most peeps took a long time looking for a certain bit

Its a strange one for sure
Prices are up and down like a yo yo in the last 6months , but they rose steeply just before that ,so maybe adjusting to take into account that stoopid 6 months of silly prices is right and proper
yes i think its about time for the market to drop some , and collectors who only have bought recently ,who may only be collecting short term , may dump there stuff to ensure they dont lose out
but collectors who will never sell stuff ,will always exist and as more of these type of collector joins the hobby then supply drops and prices rise
the question is how many potential collectors are there still out these ,as this more than anything will dictate prices
the good stuff is gone , and only ltd ammounts of lower priced items remain ,so do the math
i reckon 20% drop in prices in the next year, but a ripper is always worth 350 to someone , maybe not 600 as we have seen, but unless we are all skint as the crunch turn into a major disaster,its got to have some value to someone

well this site is an indication of how many people are out there. we are constantly getting new members aboard. some come in, have a browse then disappear never to be seen again. some just like the memories, some new school. some will want just the one OS bike to build. but then they may get "the bug" and want more.
i'd say maybe 10-15 in every 100 new members will want to build at least one OS bike. Out of that maybe 2 or 3 will want to build more.
i can understand the serious collectors wanting to hoard stuff as they'll know how hard it is to come by this sort of stuff, so won't want to risk selling something that they might need in 6 months or a year later and end up paying 2 or 3 times the amount and spend forever waiting for it to come along.
