Suppose some sort of notice went out stating that on a specific day, all BMX-related items would reach their peak monetary value, and on the following day would practically be worthless with no hope of value increase. What would you do?

I love (and will always love) Diamond Backs ... They're already worthless!
I'm addicted to bmx ... value or not

ride my bike

tacoman · 2013-01-12 6:52pm

Nothing.
Keep what I got and be happy bout it.

Even if it is worthless....reliving bmx circa 84-88 with my buds is still priceless.

Hatebreeder · 2013-01-12 6:52pm

Id ride all of my new school stuff thats not worth anything anyways.

TONE · 2013-01-12 6:55pm

I would buy EVERYTHING!!!!!!

Hobby ain't about the money to me. It's all about the history, the hunt, and the love of sharing it all.

RandyPottsII · 2013-01-12 6:56pm

waiting for that day

looptailnut · 2013-01-12 6:57pm

I'm with Ray, lets ride.

drbmxr · 2013-01-12 6:57pm

Keep riding! Who cares what they're supposedly "worth"?

perront · 2013-01-12 7:13pm

Waiting for the counterpoint...

sautell · 2013-01-12 7:22pm

I would take it all to the goodwill!

jsngrimm · 2013-01-12 7:24pm

Waiting for that day, then mabye I could afford it! I'd buy as much as I could get my hands on, build it, find some pals and go ride the shit out of our awesome new stuff!!

When that happens, I will by all of your BMX stuff for pennies on the dollar. Consider that your bail-out

I have a large collection .....and often times friends and other collectors ask me " what will you do if all the prices drop ?"

My answer is " BUY MORE BMX STUFF !!!"

If you have allot invested and /or you are a true addict ....then when and if prices drop you should take the opportunity to buy up as much as you can .

You can get parts cheap and offset any possible loss by averaging out any price drop across the rage of your collection.

Then maybe you can get some of those items on your wish list finally crossed off .

For me ...if all the prices dropped by 50% tomorrow ...I would go on a huge NOS shopping spree and it would take an act of god to get me to stop.

Leatherman · 2013-01-12 7:51pm

I would rejoice in the fact that money had nothing to do with the simplicity and bliss off simply riding a bike.

I like your way of thinking, Don.

Ahem...Allow me to add that I am completely neutral on this issue, only raising the question to stimulate discussion!

markmc97225 · 2013-01-12 7:59pm

Well, if it was a viable premise, it might be worth discussing.

Or thinking about. Sorry, just not even worth thinking about since it would never happen.

streetfreak · 2013-01-12 8:01pm

it would certainly weed alot of people out of the hobby. i would still be popping wheelies every spring!!

Packin_Plastic · 2013-01-12 8:05pm

Would be the end of For Sale Restricted Satus
