Gold is rare in that clamp. £50 tops i reckon. They are $99 on US ebay.

Was talking to Pete Quad today.....NOS stuff is getting harder to find now but i bet someone will pay that for it.

Anyway dont worry... Biagio will all make you rich.

Look at it like that. His prices sets the standard weither we like it or not.

Surely you mean "JESUS CHRIST! Biaggio's prices are FOOKING EXPENSIVE

"

One man does not make the market; pirces only increase if people are like Lemmings. Simple answer is don't pay the prices and they will come down

He is the biggest ebay seller for old bmx parts so he does im afraid. Its the first point of call for the average punter who just gets into the hobby.

How many newbie's builds do you see that have 'Biaggio's' stock on them. 9/10 of them.

With those ridiculous prices it seems like he needs to sell stuff now but he doesnt really want to let it go so he chances the market.

If he was a little more in touch with forums like Rad he may have a better idea that prices have dropped a little recently. In fairness though good parts still get good dough but not that much dough!

Swivel · « **Reply #18 on:** March 13, 2009, 04:10 PM »

His prices have always been fairly high, even a few years ago and I don't think his even got out all the good bits yet. I bet he has some kick ass stuff stashed away.

Disagree with you there Nick, he may list a lot but he does not drive the market at all. Some people follow his lead but by and large eBay is full of sellers that don't. I agree many newbies might stumble across him but doubt many buy that much from him, I can't recall that many people with Biaggio built bikes or parts lists in recent months or the last couple of years TBH. He's always been expensive but now he's just taking the p1ss and hoping buyers will pay the price. Maybe some people will but as I have learnt countless times the right parts come up at the right price eventually; it's all about patience.

Maybe his divorce settlement is driving prices more than anything else
