I'm not sure, times are hard, you get a few unexpected Bills, and you have to sell your stash, I think prices WILL rise for the foreseeable future, prices have risen consistantly since I got into this game, I have only been back into old school BMX for 18 months, and I have bought some real cheap stuff compared to todays market pricing. I used to collect Football Memorabilia, I bought 6 old Adidas Tango Football's about 10 years ago, I paid nearly nothing, £5 to £10 a pop, I made nearly £3000 on them last year, one selling for £750 another 2 for £500 each !! Yesterday junk is today's bounty, but as we get older, I'm 38 this year, the interest may fade, and who's gonna replace us ?? Tower Bridge mate !! WIll we still be here when we're 50 !?? Who knows, collecting maybe, but riding..eerrm
Its like any hobby , why are you here , why do you collect ?If as some have obviously done is to collect and then fall out of love with it, then yes thier arse has fallen out of it, but we seem to be growing , the prices are still on thew way up and thier seems to be no lack of willing buyers to soak up the stuff that is being soldso in general it seems that the hobby is on the up , my thoughts are that its got a few years untill the bubble " may burst " but that only helps the comitted collector , who will buy the cheaper stuff cos they want the bits no matter what everyone else is doingfashion and cool have a part to play , as this hobby seems to be pretty cool and fasionable and will get more so this year with the exposure we will get and the upturn in BMX as a wholeI hope that we see a downturn soon , as i can snap up parts for low money and continue collecting but its nice to know that what we do is not just a few , but many
The pad set pizzes me off more light blue writing on a mid blue pad and i want to use them as well , I lost my DP freestyler pads and they turned up , so i hope these do as well
