I was just talking to my wife about the bmx market. 20yrs ago, I was picking all the classics at thrift stores and selling them on ebay. I had 3 or 4 Motomags, a Decade, a Pro-Styler, Schwinn Black Phantom bmx. We were buying for under $20 and selling for $300-500 and thinking we were doing good. I saw a Mongoose Decade go for $3k a few weeks ago.

Really makes me wonder about the 90s mtb market right now. I sold a '96 Klein for below market locally that would have probably been a great one to sit on for another 4-5 years.
