Re:

Probably for the ebay madness thread, but here’s a few I’ve spotted over the past few days;

XT thumbies and front mech BIN £420 :shock:

Suntour XCT rear mech NOS BIN $103 :shock:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Suntour-XCT- ... %7Ciid%3A1

And then these NOS XTR rings - which if its the same bidder trying to get a set, then they are looking at over £200 already... :shock:

Re:

The best bit with those thumbies is the postage and the fact the seller has the front to charge it, never mind how much it is.

No point in moaning, it's nothing out of the ordinary.
Like that classic saying, the market will dictate and its worth what someone is willing to pay.
Its no different to any other retro classic collectors market.

Hmmm. Is it moaning or just expressing surprise at the recent spike in prices? Anyway, the market price is just one measure of value and often skewed.
