If you look for midd or low end bicycles, prices are quite low, I agree but if you look for a Expolosif, a Marin Team, , Fat Chance, Klein etc top quality brands, in very good condition or NOS prices are still quite high. Kooka is too expensive today, even the Avid tri align has increase the price more tan 100% since pre covid or the XTR M900... prices of special parts are crazy expensive. The well known parts that every body whants are still spensive.
High asking prices will always be there. But if it's still on ebay, then it's not sold. That thousand pound Explosif ain't going anywhere at that price!
In that scenario it's a mass produced Taiwanese bicycle, 30 years old & priced at the original retail price, any prospective buyer would have to be super motivated to own such a thing at such a price imo.
