The dump/re-use center is still always free (at least for me).

Too many projects to even bother looking these days. Have pulled lots of old Peugeots, Sakine, Schwinn, etc.

Gas prices and hipness have driven prices up, but you can still find hella-deals if you poke around.

Motorcycles have also gone way, way up. If I had more free time, I would be wrenching on and selling cycles on the side. I've had some crazy offers for my low-budget home built Triumph chop/bobber/rat as well as my '69 Honda that we picked up for $400 a couple years ago. One lady offered me $8,000 to build her a bike like my chop... freaking nuts.

Also, my $500 Toyota sedan that I picked up 4-5 years ago and fixed up for $100 is now worth a pile of cash due to the low mileage
