My take is there were one or two of the early white couriers with yellow decals that went on eBay for £1k plus, since then anyone with something the same or similar to that has based their pricing on the “asked” prices. Only one of the £1k ones sold and that was to a best offer. Everything else has been sub £400 which in the main was still expensive IMO. My days of picking up a Courier prestige for £80 and an early S&G for £30 are long over!I wonder how recent it is that prices have starting going crazy.
I know more people are biking post COVID but the reasonable priced top end bikes seem few and far between
