I clicked thinking this was about the state of the USA today, then find out it's about bikes, and then...someone is complaining about nice bikes. Then, someone is complaining about how expensive nice bikes are, as if that's bad.
I have nice bikes, and I would sell most of them if someone offered me enough.
I'd probably use the profit to buy another nice bike that I can ride for awhile and sell to someone for a profit again. It ain't like we're buying race cars, bikes is cheap.
