I agree this is a buyer's market in the past year or so. I've had a very good run in the past 18 months or so buying some higher end pre-1960 bikes. The couple bikes I've sold were a bit spottier - fair prices, but I'm lucky if I come out even. I was never in this hobby to make any money though...

The proliferation of ebikes has been very rapid here. I started noticing them maybe a year ago, and now it's like every 3rd bike is an ebike, in just that year of time. I was slogging up a hill (we have lots of those around here) a couple months ago and got passed rather briskly by an elderly couple who looked to be in their late 70s or early 80s on ebikes. It's a brave new world...
