This.
Recent two $1500+ bikes. Vintage lightweights still have a pulse. One shipped to a private collector with a nice collection, ironically a non BF member. Another to a shop owner for his own vintage mountain bike collection. Both shipped cross country.
Additionally, correct and original Paramount and PX10 fill collections and steady in the $1200 range. They have to be rightly honest original. Repaints and restomods are way down.
Always have those interested in $2k to $2500 vintage bikes but this level priced never were highly active traded.
I enjoy all kind of bikes and doesn't matter whether selling or not. Was a hoot finding hoards the past 3 years and flipping in volume. Truthful, the percentage of jerks wanting bikes for pittance are a PITA. I always refer them to Walmart.
