If there is a price shift it is more likely that the NOS market is artificially low and Barry brings it to where it should be. Sellers of vintage bike crap can't ever be greedy as they have zero power over over the buyer. They aren't selling water in the desert or drugs to a dying person. The notion they manipulate buyers is far fetched, especially without any data to support the claim.
