LOL
THE collectors are as important as anyone in this scene and to be fair its what its about to a lot of people , just cos you look at an "over restored " bike and dont like it then cool , to you this scene is about something else , which is good as it needs all sorts to progress
but to me just cos it costs a lot dont make it something to scorn
you guys need to see whats being spent on other " collectible " items to put some of the old BMX prces in perspective
jeez plastic toys are all the rage these days and some of them go for real big money , different strokes for different folks
thats an amazing collection , of stuff and to be fair he could sell it all today for market rate and so what
should he sell it for less cos some may think he is profiteering , we live in a market economy not communism
heres an idea on other collectibles that cost way more than bmx , to show that its not just bmx that gets money for something that could be percived as overpriced
