Title: Times are a changing and it's all differert now !
Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on August 26, 2012, 01:01 PM
We all have seen price's of parts go up and down in the market and especially on ebay

it seems to have changed around on some parts - shimano dx pedals in survivor condition to resto have seemed to dropped ~ dia compe brakes in all versions ( bar new style) seems to have shot through the roof ~ nos rims seem to command a high price, but wheels in good condition/used seem to right down

so what else is changing and command a different price from a couple of years ago and why ?

cheers B

DC hinged clamps don't seem to be as high as they used to be.

is it because  some people are restoring some of the lesser modals and standard parts are becoming more sought after ?

seats seem to shooting up, no mater what they are - viscount stuff seems to have gone from £20 to £80  ???

Id say repop ones have killed the os ones, true people want os ,but first time builders £80 or £13?? What would you chose

Another record for me years ago i sold a nos blue dc seat clamp for £135 :shocked:

Why do Tuf Necks stems demand so much money? Especially when there are so many around!

Same goes for any pre 90's Hutch or Mongoose. They hardly hens teeth but people go bonkers for them.

I started using some of the old DK square cornered stems instead of Tuf Necks or Pro Necks as you can get them for less than half the price.

Same with DC1020'S and 890's instead of MX1000's and 900's.
Title: Re: Times are a changing and it's all differert now !
Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on August 27, 2012, 12:27 AM
even the 1020's and 890's are going up  ::)

have a DK round that is nos, but no ride to put it on ???

tyres are on the up for just cheapy's

DC cables are down - but that could also be due to the fakes out there

Post by: kungfunky on August 27, 2012, 10:53 AM
vintage stuff.....3-5 years ago few collected it, now getting stuff at a half decent price is really hard as a lot of people are getting into the vintage scene.  5 years ago I built  a 78 Goose complete with motomags for around  £400. Now you can kiss goodbye to over 1k easily for a mint one. And as for vintage se gear i'd say the prices have more than doubled in the last 2 years.

Post by: BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN on August 27, 2012, 11:15 AM
but it does seem the stuff we thought was hard to get hold of and worth the money, now seems in some case's it doesn't command good price's

i know outside people just see money and no love

is it just a case as they see a name and think every thing in the range has to be pricey ?
Title: Re: Times are a changing and it's all differert now !
Post by: That Swan Guy on August 27, 2012, 11:36 AM
I buy what I want to put on my bike. I haven't got the time or inclination to buy and sell for a profit. I didn't buy a thing from Shiners this year, I only bought a pair of hubs last year and they are now on my CW 24".

There seems to be a misconception out there by those who are not deeply involved in this hobby that anything BMX is worth a lot of money. At the end of the day it's worth nothing if nobody wants to buy it. As a rule, the sales in this forum are 'reasonably' priced. Some on Flea Bay are so over inflated it makes me wince when I read them. Unfortunately it's not the seller that's in the wrong, as long as people are buying the parts the prices will remain astronomical!

Classic bathtub curve, prices start high, drop to an all time low, then rise again, throw in a repro an all hell breaks loose. Same with anything "collectible" like someone said you should buy for love not money like others out there. My first banksy cost me £20 when he was a nobody (tesco soup can parody of andy warhole's soup can) now its worth rediculous money becaus its "trendy" aboung other things i bought a load of mini banksy books ina bulk deal, opend a few and left the doubles in wrapper, all but one go for mega bucks in read condition, the other you can pick up for £20-£50 On ebay no probs, its all about suply and demand, whats fashionable at the time.
