Been away from BMX for over 2 years now (some know the story) and miss it like mad.
I have some big concerns;
I gave up riding cos of injury (arthritis and tedonitis in both wrists) and gave up collecting and building cos of circumstancess.
I would love to get back into it, but am I kidding myself? Not sure really, but do miss the friends I made over the years. (got back into it in 2004, the old "blue" site)
So whats the crack with prices?
I have seen a lot of cheap gear (esp retro rippers), along with a lot of expensive stuff, but nothing seems quite as expensive as 2/3 yrs ago?
Mmmmm?

Get a cheapy and start ridin' Adam you know you want to

On prices the good stuff (NOS or not) seems to go for a premium these days but you can't shift the dros even if you drop the price right down, the market seems much more selective than the heyday.
