Title: Could our Beloved Bricks be gaining value?
Post by: TaosBrick on March 14, 2013, 12:32:53 PM
Been looking at craigslist postings for Klassic K's in both Albuqureque and Denver, on average the bikes I've been seeing listed are $1k more than last year. Hmm...

Must be, there's one on ebay right now for 7 grand.  !
I have a good friend in the antiques business and he always says: "just because someone puts a price tag on something, that doesn't mean that's what it's worth!"

Prices here seem to be all over the map.  So is their condition.  As classic K's get older neglect and abuse take a bigger toll. I've seen some under 2K that I wouldn't take if given to me.  Well, maybe, if I had somewhere to put them :lol:

The economy may have had something to do with it - it was still in the pits last year, so more people were selling bikes in general to raise the cash.  The economy is getting better which means fewer people are selling out of desperation and more are buying toys, which should mean stronger prices.

I agree. How nice to get a good word from our beloved bikes.

The hipsters bought up all the old hondas (which used to be cheap). A CB550 can go for up to 4000 in the bay area. I should have kept mine.

I certainly raised the going price ave. when I bought mine.

But it was well worth the $$$$. I am very happy, photo attempts soon.
