I have to say that I love tinkering with me parts and that'll never stop
No really, collectors will come and go but i've been collecting for over 6 years now and I don't see that stopping... although I do need to flog a bit...
but I do it because its a good hobby and I love restoring things. Always have, always will. Yeah prices have gone up and some have gone down but I honestly think because things are hard to get, when they do come up they will always do good money, so the investment aspect is there...
I think this credit crunch is a bit of a farse myself (people talking themselves into it etc..) and if a certain part comes up which you've been desperate for it sometime, then you'll just buy it because in old school bmx nowadays, rare stuff comes up every so often and when it does, it always does good money. And if the horders will release a bit more stuff for sale, then that will also start the buying frenzy again.... I think there is a lot more years in it then 3-4, i'd say at least another 10 or more because I for one don't intend to stop collecting and restoring as its great to see the bikes you've always wanted finished off and in your house!
