Exactly

And if you prefer original parts like me that means I’m screwed lol

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

Now you feel my pain....when ever I contemplate recreating my National Pro

Eat, sleep, repeat

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.

You’re right but it seems to have gotten a lot worse within this last year.

^This^ I’m not for the ridiculously over the top prices that even mid school has hit the last couple years but there are and will be good deals out there. Just don’t feed the greedy and let there shit sit until the they eventually lower there prices or simply ignore them. It’s the luck of the draw in the BMX game nowadays.

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.

That’s quite unfair to finger point just to new members. I’ve been here under 3 years but have been in the game for 30 years.

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.

Maybe his words just came off strong to me I guess Tim. Judging from his extremely impressive collection it looks like a investment to me but to each its own as well as the cooks.

I mean pretty much new members who joined a day prior With no posts, no feedback, and post up crappy complete bikes For sale For $3000-$5000. Because that’s what’s happening. And the next guy thinks his bike is worth at least that, if not more. Then the veteran “sellers” start doing the same. So then he lists one for that. And there it begins.
