Is that it?

Old-school bmx has become all about "Market prices"?

and whether or not the "collectors" will be angry because their fooking aerospeeds have gone down in value?

What a complete fook up,

"bmx" and "market value"

in the same fooking sentence,

Freestyling antique collectors :LolLolLolLol:


This is a dying hobby.

you greedy fooking magpies have killed it dead,

Prices,
Prices,

Prices.

It's fookING boring!!! :LolLolLolLol:


10 fooking years at the beginning of what BMX is today, and you sad sentimental old Siberian Beaver Pastrys have been humping away at the same tired old dog,

What is the future?
who will follow?

fooking no one.

the mid and new schoolers think you're all doe eyed weirdo's fixated on the past, your precious PRICES have PRICED everyone out of the hobby.


This forum is dead to what it used to be,


All the BMX'ers have gone and all thats left are the Stamp collectors. Investing and counting their pennies,


What a fook up.

I was banned when I walked in here tonight,

I'm twice as banned now.


Some very good and valid points made right there  :daumenhoch:

That may well be the case Steve but what does it matter what other people are doing...??!!!
Lots of things change, dynamics shift, we're dying & so is the Sun.

I'm not deprecating you Steve.
My point concerns the changing dynamic of this site & life!
Certain folk place emphasis on different aspects of this hobby & these people come, go & some remain.
Whatever one conceives as negative aspects isn't worth mentioning in such an arrogant manner.

It doesn't matter what "rare" parts we have because at any moment a box of them could be unearthed and their "rareness" and value would/could go down...so bugger all that mate just sell them in whichever way you please. It's up to your own values and sense of morality mate.

...I don't think any of us are sitting there thinking about such things when we are buying bits for a build...we just want those bits and sometimes you get raped in a monetry sense and othertimes you get lucky.

I think selling them on here(limiting to one for each member) seems fair ...and ofcourse you should make some money yourself mate

.... but that's just my opinion...

I'm getting all giddy just thinking about what these parts are :D
Bloody hell something like NOS DXs for example,  would be a dream come true :smitten:
For me this hobby is all about getting those bikes and parts that I could only dream about as a kid....I love these things regardless of their current market price or value and I think most people on RAD hopefully feel the same way :daumenhoch:

It doesn't seem like five minutes ago skyway padsets were ten a penny and streetbeats and firebird freeystyle were going for fifty quid. Sell what you get and once they're all gone the price of stuff won't change much

Interesting indeed. Something is only 'worth' what people are prepared to pay. I bought a complete bike on ebay last year. It had yellow simplex mags on it that i didn't need. Didn't have a clue what they were 'worth' so put them on ebay starting about £10. Got £75.00 for them which was nice, but i'd have been happy to get half of that. The bidders decided their value, not me. Maybe start one of these items low and see what happens... Might give you an idea of their possible value. If they are sought after item, there will always be people searching. I personally hope that a box of Hutch deep H stems is discovered. I may be able to buy one then without going into my overdraught.

If you have hit the mother load well done :daumenhoch: right so you got to move some of the stuff on and you dont wanna upset peeps.
The way i see it let everyone know what you have got before selling it this will give the people holding these items and not using to get rid of them on fleabay if they think your haul will hurt the market also when you do sell offer to eveyone on the forum at a good price.

hopefully that will keep all happy
