From left to right...Colnago, Merckx, Raleigh, GT(used) and another Colnago. All NOS and none are for sale. 5 years ago back flips would have been done to sell this stuff, now that its vintage its 'eye candy' I though it was buy low and sell high?

Thse 3 Bianchis arent for sale either. The nearest one still has its $1800 price tag and I offered to buy it but was told to 'make an offer'. Sorry, Jim doesnt make offers. I prefer to be given a price to which I can counter. At the same shop they had an NOS Serrota from the 80's (for sale still with its $895 tag) 2-Trek 730's with full 531 tubing a full 531 Puch. Supposedly they have alot of 70's and 80's vintage stuff in storage that they didnt want to be bothered with looking through. I offered to buy it all.

Would you pay $1800, or $895? After all, they're price tags, right?

You would probably offend the jerks by offering the price hanging off of it:
