Hey Chris,

Here are my 2 Francs on MaxiCars...

I have been buying Maxi-Car hubs on and off ebay for many years. The drums don't seem to consistently draw bids beyond $125-$175. I have purchased several on ebay at these prices. For a while when it hit the collecting world that Maxi-Car was no longer the late modern hubs were trading up around $400pr. Then a bunch hit the market/ebay and they were back down to $250-$300. There is/was a guy in Paris who was selling lots of late issue NOS stuff- Hi-Lo's and tandem sets in 36/40/48 and early on I got a few NOS sets at around $200. His prices are now creeping up and listings fewer and fewer. The used 60's/70's hubs aren't much cheaper. The 50's solid flange hubs and the "Grand Flasques" (or something close;^)that Rene Herse and Alex Singer among others made by adding super high flanges to low flange Maxi hubs all go stratospheric $$$ ...oh, a collective THANKS to Velo Orange for keeping the flame properly accessorized and more!

Just a few thoughts from blustery Southern California-
