SO WHERE IS IT ALL GOING TO END??
« on: July 22, 2007, 05:15 PM »
when to you reckon the price of OS parts are going to stable out
i mean at the moment its going insane :shocked:
ive seen some unbelievable prices recently
2k for cranks :idiot2:
£300+ for pedals :idiot2:
grips £250  :idiot2:
skyways £250 :idiot2:
mx1000 £250+  :idiot2:
and f+f's are going through the roof
you looking at £500+ for a loopy ripper in resto condition
and not to mention how much a gen1 or vdc go for.
do we reckon prices will eventually start to drop or will they find a
limit and stay there??
i never thought id see the day when a burner would sell for
£500+ :idiot2: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

Me too, just got a few things left to get and I'm all done  :coolsmiley:

I'm actually spending a lot more time undertaking full restoration of parts where I can as it's way more cost effective  :daumenhoch:

there will always be new lads n lasses wanting stuff ,we are all just used to it all .

I've managed to pick up some mint bargains, the Titan jnr cruiser and a Titan expert at quality prices :daumenhoch: Thanx guys :-*

I'm working on building a collection of all the Titans (every size) so if anyone knows of any more knocking around pm me. :daumenhoch:

It is getting to the stage now where Skyway Streetbeats & EZ Bars are fetching silly money, I remember a few years ago there was loads of them on Ebay  :shocked:
