I have shown two links above. One is for a Baylis track and the other is the Chris Chance. One is used with a fairly rare group and the other is NOS with some nice parts. Both are close to the same size. If the buyer doesn't plan to ride the NOS bike, then it will retain some value as NOS. If they plan to ride it, then it will lose that extra premium that a NOS item demands. The Chris Chance is currently bid at 50% more than the Baylis, with 15 times as many bidders. So, can one draw conclusions? Is the Chris Chance better than the Baylis? By 50%? Is the NOS of the Chris Chance adding that much to the value in comparison? Just curious as to how others view this sort of thing. Lou Deeter, Orlando FL
