I’m trying really hard to complete the build I’m doing and then I’m done. 

It’s completely out of hand.

Tell me about it I have two frames that I’ve been trying to build, I took a year off due to new baby and I come back and all of a sudden it’s a rich mans hobby now lol

It’s crazy!

Interesting topic.

It's not just complete bikes but parts as well... try and find Primo Tenderizers or Redline Flight cranks anymore....

Yup what use to be $50 bars a year ago are now $150-$200.

Again I appreciate the love these bikes are getting but boy is it getting pricey.

This topic has been beat to death here. And all you'll get in the end is the guys who have an endless amount of money telling you to quit crying or GTFO. Seen it a million times. Guy can't enjoy building his childhood bike/bikes anymore. I have one last build to complete and I'm done as well.

and on and on and on

like the DX pedals on ebay ATM $US 550 where did that price come from???????  that's $826 AU what a bloody joke

like I've said many many many many times before IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SELL YOUR STUFF LIST IT AT .99 cents then you will find out what its worth.

making up you own ridiculous price is making you a moron in the BMX community

Stock is vanishing fast here in the UK. Prices, however, are still good due to lots of competition between distros.

Used to be a fun “ hobby”. Now it’s more of a business than its ever been. And I’ve been on here for nearly 15 years and Saw lots of the peaks and lows of the sport and The hobby.  You can thank all these new members and new “ collectors “ with their ridiculous prices. And then everyone thinks they have gold!  And then they all just follow suit.  I’m glad I ride my bikes more than invest in them. Great job guys. Way to ruin a fun hobby.

I think he means those who “score” then price “inquire” then  flip in the for sale section 20 mins later. Those who hang around are the enthusiasts. (And the cooks)

I listed a set of Peregrine super pros on eBay just this week for a high starting price. Then got an attack of the guilts and pulled the ad.

Probably list them again for 0.99c starting bid. Let the market decide.
