Might aswell put my pennys worth in.
It seems to me that prices have gone up more so for smaller components. I mean £100 for a kashi, £250 for 1000's its just ridiculous and such a shame as its pushing so many people i know away from old school builds. Also noticed how much frame and fork sets fluctuate in price from time to time. Ive seen good loopy PK's at the moment going for as little as £220 !!. Rewind 2 years ago and it would be double that plus. I would tend to agree with people who think its to do with the globel econemy situation, with such uncertanty surrouding it your not going to be chuckin dough at your bmx hobby and definatly not whilst prices are as bonkers as what they are now!.

i got back into bmx due to raleigh reissuing the tap, but when i got it realised how crap the the parts were. in my mind i was picturing the original with mx1000, kashimax aero, tange grips. i decided to strip it get argos cycles of bristol to custom spray it black/white tange grips(in white £35) black mx1000 on the front with blk tec3(£90) white mx1000 on the back (£110) blk kashimax aero (120) and acs z wheels with comp 3 tyres(£250) dia comp seat clamp (£40) and the original cost the bike £300 it does not take long to realise that spending has gone out of control, but i had a image of how the original looked, thats what i built and thats the prices i paid. it is called supply and demand. on top of that there was the stem,pad set,bars, seat post,pedals,b&b, chain ring,arms, and due to chopping and changingbits and bobs , my build has just set me back £1650.if you want to see it it,s on burner world,s images, sparkys tap2007.

Sparky24 · « **Reply #60 on:** March 21, 2008, 07:32 PM »

its33 · « **Reply #61 on:** March 21, 2008, 09:37 PM »

your shout ,i prefer to source and hunt things that are the lowest price,its part of the game

matt · « **Reply #62 on:** March 21, 2008, 09:52 PM »

prices are deffo coming down, i bagged myself a set of 401s for £95 a couple of weeks ago
it wasnt that long when people were paying up to £300 for a rechromed set

80sdave · « **Reply #63 on:** March 22, 2008, 09:27 PM »

All the stuff im buying is for my own personel collection, no interest in selling it on for a profit etc but no matter how much i want it im realistic and i am not spending stupid money on somthing, i think we all set values personally to an item we are after just like buying on evilbay but on the other hand stuff is getting very rare which i feel makes people panic buy.
ps i have an old sock that my mate reckons bob haro used once gotta be worth a grand any takers.

moley · « **Reply #64 on:** March 22, 2008, 09:36 PM »

Just the one sock.

It depends what it was used for and whether it can be cloned!!!!

80sdave · « **Reply #65 on:** March 22, 2008, 10:04 PM »

I reckon if you sold one on here for £50 some bayer would get wind of it and their would be a hundred on evilbay next week straight from china onwashed since 1984 etc.

Bettyswallocks · « **Reply #68 on:** March 23, 2008, 10:20 PM »

Bargain...... $:-\$

They looked fooked....

20 years ago they'd have got binned, starting to think this is getting to expensive for me i've a loopy ripper that'll never get built up the way prices are going...

Maybe i should start storing new school stuff for 20 years..... fly cranks, early non full wrap, uncracked survivors before they redesigned them full wrap.....

I don't there's a bubble bursting

You've always been able to pick up a bargain

I seen 401's with BB go for under a ton last year
and just paid £260 myself last month for arms and BB rechromed

You get lucky sometimes

but like most people you see the going rate on items and pay it on the Bay
or maybe they a bit sway on here

If you got a build on , you like to get the bits
and better be prepared to pay

I think things maybe only slightly slower
as the market on all retail is ( shopping ,houses ,etc )at this time of year

Soon things will start picking up faster as it gets more towards Summer and people start doing builds for MK08
whether it be
Show and shine or OS race
get your bits now and beat the rush

But I'll be ahead of ya
making a complete bike a month at the mo
and not selling any yet

munners · « **Reply #72 on:** March 24, 2008, 10:47 AM »

ive seen some bits and bobs go through the roof recently on the bay! Like has been said......you will always pick up a bargain on the bay if you hunt hard enough!

Jt · « **Reply #73 on:** March 24, 2008, 11:09 AM »

the best prices has brought more stored/garaged/knackered stuff to market.

the good stuff seems to be holding up ok...

also, there are some people who consider the top of the tree has been reached and therefore roll out their good stuff and punt it...good luck to em!

bigdog done quite well over the last few months!

if your buying shit to restore, its a buyers market...if your wanting stuff mint, tis a sellers market.

good job there are plenty of lazy people with money
