He he.
You know what I meant.
There are more bargains to be had now thanks to the amount of product out there.
It's very difficult to quantify what old stuff is work. New stuff is easier, I bought something last night that I could just pop onto CRC's website and work out that even paying a fair lump of cash I was actually saving in the order of £50, more if bought elsewhere full price.To me that was worth it for something I really wanted.

As has been mentioned elsewhere above, anything is only worth what someone is prepared to pay for it, be it ridiculously cheap or eye wateringly expensive...
...too many localised factors involved at any given time to make a definitive assessment.

...or there's only one on the whole of eBay, and it's way overpriced but you have to have it; then six months down the line there's a glut of them, at half what you had to pay!
What's really sad, for me anyway, is when really nice original old bikes get split up and sold as parts because the seller isn't realistic about the price of the bike 'as a whole'.
This pastime has become more about turning a profit than retaining the originality of the bikes, which is a shame.
