I'm not convinced, nor hope, this to be the case. The market is in a bubble right now and can't sustain such price growth. Think of a housing bubble, eventually the growth has to drop down to sustainable rates.
I'm not saying that prices will fall through the floor but in some cases, prices have doubled in the last year, do you really think that will hold for the next five years? In which cases adroits might be the prices of Ferraris. I'm not saying they won't go up, just that they won't go up all the time.
Lest you think these bikes, or even this bike, will continue to be of great value, be sure to talk to tulip bulb owners. Ten years ago the talk was of baseball cards, "Oh, that will always be..." Prices dropped, speculators are gone for the large part, and that market has some semblance of sanity. And the people who are in it, are in it for the love and not the cash as was the case in the 90's.
I make no predictions, just that words like 'always' and 'never', in the end never hold forever and that's always the case.
