ridiculous markup?
 

i apologize if this was already mentioned, but the Sparton eBay frames are going for $350 at http://www.kingkog.com/kogshop/
(just scroll down a scoshe)

were these not $175 on eBay?

it happens

The price of convenience and not having to deal with not-very-good-at-english speaker.

It's called business.

- junque? or more properly, basura?

wow, they are still on ebay for less than 2. I cant believe they sell any of those.

if you were a self-conscious teenager who wanted a hipster to smile at you, you'd happily fork over $175 extra of your parents money

oh, well, i spoke too soon. i never saw the pink ones on ebay and kingkog says they sold out first. figures....

they also appear to be selling Campy BMX cranks (to be fair, with a king headset) for $300. Those Campy cranks used to be pretty cheap.

that mark up is a lot like how some bfssfg members sold their group buy frames on ebay for over three hundred doll hairs.

I'm going to start buying up early 90's Scott aero bars (the big one piece things). Those are totally going to be the next hot trend in handlebar trends.

Free Market Economy. Nothing wrong with that.

The price will come down if nobody buys them at the current price. That's sort of how it works.

Yeah, like 20 years ago. Good luck finding them for less than $150 now.

fair enough, I suppose I haven't been in the market for a set in 12 or so...

I found this ebay store specializing in NOS stuff, and they had the weirdest aerobars I've ever seen. It's like they're tinker toys, and you have to build them yourself.

wow, how about that packaging?

Affinity cycles did the same thing, started out at $350 and Bam! now $450.

I sure hope so.

Good enough for Greg Lemond in 1990, good enough for YOU!

I mean if all these "aero trends" are catching on with wheels ie heds, zipps, aero spokes, it's only a matter of time before aero bars make their market and we see bullhorns get their time trial attachments.

oddly enough, I have 3 pairs of these, I chopped a pair into some ugly goofball bullhorns and they were really fun until I moved into the city.

now they sit in the basement.
