i was talking to bananacock about this kinda thing earlier, bikes do seem to go from being the talk of the town to the whisper of the village every few months. 6 months back you could by a tai 85 haro for £150 or so, now people are happy to spend big bucks on them. TA's were getting daft money a couple of months back getting into bidding wars on ebay. Nora's are getting a look in too, a few black builds on the go. I struggled to sell one for £200, tried for a period of months, sold in no problem last week. Very unpredictable....why? Fashion? What's the answer....?

I think it's all about how many are on the bay at any given time. If a bike that hasn't been listed for a while suddenly pops up, a dozen or so people potential bidders will have accumulated and it'll sell for a fortune. Then anyone who has another one of the same tucked away in their loft sees this stratospheric price in completed items and promptly shoves theirs on the bay too. Now there's a few in the listings, and that's all it needs to quell the panic that they've all gone. Bidders start to relax and won't be panicked into paying too much, everyone calms down, and the price goes back down again. Good old-fashioned supply and demand, but with the added feeling of dread we all share that - one day - all the really nice 80's stuff will soon be in the hands of us collectors. Then we're all stuffed  :daumenhoch:
