Title: OS still strong...?
Post by: Devilock on December 02, 2012, 09:27 PM
Ive heard folk mention its crumbling but I constantly see evidence to the contrary...e.g. - Redline 44T Bubble font sell for £162 & first gen EZ bars sell for £98. I realise ebay is a completely different world...

If anything prices are gradually increasing. Supply & demand I suppose...

Thank fu*k for sites like Rad & the Museum for retaining some perspective.  :daumenhoch:

Solidarity brothers!!!  ;D

Im not bored either as Im watching Magnum Force!!

i would'nt say that just because the price is high on parts than that make os going strong it just means

someone is prepared to pay that price, i'd say this last six months i'm painting more os frames than ever so

that would be my guide that it's still full on and with loads of new collectors :daumenhoch:

Of course, I was just using a very minor example & neglected to mention, as you say,  the influx in new collectors.

Not crumbling for me, i still love it all but must say as a relative newby the prices of stuff has gone up loads even in the few yrs I've been building. For that reason I've 1 more to build to finish then no more, hopefully!!!!  ::)

Not dead in the States, someone made me an offer over the weekend for a vintage jersey. Was'nt planning on selling it but the offer was massive so had to let it go  :'(
