Title: SO WHERE IS IT ALL GOING TO END??
Post by: dwain dibbly on July 22, 2007, 05:15 PM
when to you reckon the price of OS parts are going to stable out
i mean at the moment its going insane :shocked:
ive seen some unbelievable prices recently
2k for cranks :idiot2:
£300+ for pedals :idiot2:
grips £250  :idiot2:
skyways £250 :idiot2:
mx1000 £250+  :idiot2:
and f+f's are going through the roof
you looking at £500+ for a loopy ripper in resto condition
and not to mention how much a gen1 or vdc go for.
do we reckon prices will eventually start to drop or will they find a
limit and stay there??
i never thought id see the day when a burner would sell for
£500+ :idiot2: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Me too, just got a few things left to get and I'm all done  :coolsmiley:

I'm actually spending a lot more time undertaking full restoration of parts where I can as it's way more cost effective  :daumenhoch:

there will always be new lads n lasses wanting stuff ,we are all just used to it all .
stuff you wouldnt give £10 for today might be £30 in a few months,and this happens alot.

i really do hope it doesnt go the same way as the veedub scene
rare items being horded and then sold at over inflated prices
to people doing "cheque book" restorations :-[

I'm working on building a collection of all the Titans (every size) so if anyone knows of any more knocking around pm me. :daumenhoch:
