too right my dutch living friend , if you buy this stuff to invest , then you are possibly going to regret it , but if you spend your hard earned cash cos you love and cherrish the bikes and you want to enjoy the things , then its all good
I have seen prices rise steadily for the last 4 years and see no sign of it stopping, and whos to say that in 10 years this stuff maybe worth as much as some other memrobilia , comics is a great example. but it may not and its a risky bussiness putting money into something only as an investment rather than you really want to own something that means something.
I belive we are at the stage when a lot of people are thinking this stuff is too expensive comments are made all the time about how much things are fetching , because it was cheaper last year , but i think it has a way to go yet , just my opinion , for whats its worth.
I can only judge what this stuff is worth ( or rather what people are prepared to pay) by the reaction i get from people who dont know the scene and dont know what stuff has sold for previously
I will not sell another thing , cos i regret everything i sell so price has little meaning for me anymore , although i do want to enjoy a few more restos , it just menas i have to do them slower so i can afford them.
