Bargain VMXers

Everything will go down in value.
Anyone who honestly thinks that market value of their 'anything' is going to remain unnaffected, is dreaming.

Thats my take as well, even better this recession as we have information technology, just put 'must sell' or 'desperate' into the search..... I notice that 'must sell' properties have jumped 30% in a month in NZ, I am graphing it to get a feel for the bottom.

So i plan to buy 10 acres, i am offering 50% of the list price and leaving my contact details, sooner or later, just a question of time.

Even part of a 490 still brings the bucks. Might be a while before any Maico 'bargains' surface.

The hot bargains are the odd collector bikes like Carabelas,Coopers, American Eagles, Rickmans and less popular bikes that don't quite cut it on the race track. You can get seriously good collector bikes from the USA for piss money. My mate just recieved the American Eagle 405 he paid $250us for and it's a gem. The nickel plated frame is in great condition and everything else is unmolested. It'll make a great collector/Classic Dirt bike. In the same shipment was another mates 1971 Triumph 650 Saint that he paid a meesly $500us for. It's good enough for rego as it sits but will also make a very cool desert sled style bike. I just bought a 400 Maico square barrel motor for $60. A year ago I would have paid $300 for the same thing. It's not just vintage parts either. I also just bought a pair of 2006 spec Paoli forks that have never been used for $100. How many thousands would they have cost new? Sure the Aussie dollar sucks compared to where it was a few months ago but the corresponding American selling prices have dropped even more to the point that the deals are even better now than when out buck was good.

The next couple of years are going to be an ideal buyers market. The prices are dropping dramatically right now, enough to make the 12k Maicos become a thing of the past. It was an inflated media frenzied up market anyway. Things will level out to their true (meaning sensible) value.
The Bargains are out there kids, get 'em while you can.

yes but that still going to be $30 Au plus $20+ postage so its the same as it was before just changed around a bit less dollar number but more change over and same actually cost.

Spewy part will be if the parts are cheaper then you will have more US competition, cause if its somthing they want it will be shit cheap to them now, where as before they were competeing with overseas buyers, who may now drift out, if the dollars gets off its arse and back to 75c what its actually worth, the US will be good for picking.    ( also shipping has gone up to $1-1.2 K per bike and as you pay custom in USD that screws you over even more know.

Lets see what the market says: i think its too early in the peice to call.   

However I think LOCALLY WILL START TO FIRE FOR BARGAINs soon, thats where im draggin my net, there good shit out there and if its ever coming back out now is the time...............
