They will go on clearance when they become discontinued, then after a few years the NOS parts will be on ebay for outrageous prices. For instance, an NOS Shimano 600 7 speed cassette is $199.99 at the ebay NOS Bicycle Shop. A Dura Ace 8 speed is $300. Best thing to do is buy up a bunch of 10 speed parts when they go on clearance and just hoard them. That's what I'm going to do.
