We all have seen price's of parts go up and down in the market and especially on ebay

it seems to have changed around on some parts - shimano dx pedals in survivor condition to resto have seemed to dropped ~ dia compe brakes in all versions ( bar new style) seems to have shot through the roof ~ nos rims seem to command a high price, but wheels in good condition/used seem to right down

so what else is changing and command a different price from a couple of years ago and why ?

cheers B

S&M seems to be turning into the new HUTCH. Prices going up rather quickly even though its fairly easy to come by.

even a set of tiogqa rainbow labels in 20x1/38 went for over 250 usd
you have to be lucky if bidders get up in a bid war

my last gt padset went for 30 usd

DC hinged clamps don't seem to be as high as they used to be.

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN · « **Reply #9 on:** August 26, 2012, 03:18 PM »

is it because some people are restoring some of the lesser modals and standard parts are becoming more sought after ?

seats seem to shooting up, no mater what they are - viscount stuff seems to have gone from £20 to £80

Elina LB seats seem to have started coming down lately and KKT SMX pedals appear to be creeping up.

Kashi MX seats more desirable than kashi aero's...

bodamus · « **Reply #15 on:** August 26, 2012, 06:08 PM »

I prefer Kashi MX's to Aeros

meticulous · « **Reply #16 on:** August 26, 2012, 06:24 PM »

So do I, I've sold off all my aero's apart from one on my rider...

Yet the mid school stuff is relatively cheap. I bought a Gyro XL for £17, nos.

Why do Tuf Necks stems demand so much money? Especially when there are so many around!

Same goes for any pre 90's Hutch or Mongoose. They hardly hens teeth but people go bonkers for them.
