now this is getting really silly...people have gone mad asking this price for a set of pedals!

Yes, that's quite expensive. But they're never cheap.

Collectable BMX stuff is a different market to mountain bikes - and can be very expensive.

DX Pedals are just one of those items that are very sought-after and sell for lots of money.
Sort of like Kleins (Yuk!)

They often come up for sale on Ebay.
Most of them are totally battered and sell quite cheaply;
The 1/2inch spindle ones sometimes fetch good money;
The good condition or NOS 9/16 ones ALWAYS fetch high prices.

This pair is 9/16; NOS; A nice colour.

But a lot of the hype is due to the "magic" of the DX name - The slightly smaller Shimano SXs can easily be bought NOS for £25. They don't work quite as well as the DXs but for 10% of the cost, who's arguing?
