Subject: [CR]Downward spiral of classic bike prices

I just noted a very clean Masi with apparently very clean C Record components that didn't make $600 on E-Bay. It seems to me like just last year one could have bought the bike, parted it out and offered the frame for that. The last 3 Renee Herse and the last four Eisentraut bikes haven't made their reserves as far as I can see. An Apparently very clean Frejus just went for a hair over $400. A McLean for $600. I am wondering, will we see these prices come back up in the meaningful future, or are we really the last of a vanishing breed of bike fans? Maybe there's no one really here but us? I am feeling a bit like a stranger in a strange land. Where do the other list members see this going?
