to be fair I still think it has a bit to go yet , I can only judge on what people who know nothing of prices would pay for stuff and the percived worth of the old stuff

To give you an Idea , I was speking to a guy who owns some trendy clothes shops, where old levis can sell for 4-5 hundred quid

he saw my TA and thought it would cost at least 2K to buy it , which to be fair is not that far off the money anyway if you wanted to repalce it

look at action man , and other hard to find established collectors items , and collate that to the value of old BMX.

You will see this kind of prices more and more as the good stuff becomes impossible to find.

I have been prattling this argument for a good few years and to be fair have been proved right as prices are steadily rising year in and year out.

I remember when 40 quid was an outrage for black MX1000s , now look

hutch beartraps have jumped again , and other rarer parts are doing the same thing, I reckon the 3K for a bike is about the limit , but we aint there yet, and its the new blood who are paying it , they havent seen the old pr
ices and are still buying at the new higher price.
