.................but we knew this when morons started paying 3k for hubs  ;D

i guess certain businesses don't help either by increasing their inventory prices by 50-100% over the last year.

Yes its going mad!  :shocked: I don't know whether there is a shortage (as so much stuff keeps appearing on ebay) or whether people are cashing in as there are so many peeps like us after parts all the time... who knows... all I do know is, the prices are fookin mental on certain things and in most cases on some parts you'd never recoup your money....

I see that that DJnosh sold a set of NOS Hutch beartraps for £350 yesterday. How much did he lose on those considering he was buying them at £500 a piece a few weeks back! These big time buyers are either very clever or damn stupid and are gonna get stung big time.

As long as their is a shortage, the prices will hold as they are or even inflate. It looks like we are all keeping hold of our stock by what has been sold on this site lately. NOT A LOT! Ebay is dead at the moment and has been for a few weeks too.  i think that it has hit its peak now. I am sure prices will come down a touch in the new year.

I really dont think we ve seen the end of it yet, ibought my pk ripper 4 months ago £510 4 f/f  which i thought was dear , but iwanted one , and then to see the same f/f go for nearly a g 4 months later is staggering, and it was nt a one off neither. Ithink things such as landing gear , mx 1000 ,anything hutch or se, dx s (which there arnt to many of on the bay lately) ell just keep rising .This bmx thing aint just a sport , its part of peeps history and with the older bikes and parts peeps have gotta realise there fooking antiques and this nos stuff WILL run out , then what will prices b? Plus peeps such as vert - ego know there market, so is there a shortage on the way . I cant believe the prices of his seats , almost doubled , no disrespect to him as i think hes a sound bloke , but why the sudden jump?
