The problem with todays bikes etc , is the cost at counter. How can a basic new bike cost you 30K and i'm seeing this bike sell for 30-40 % less on hub a few month later ..... with upgraded components ? Also dont think that is cool. My other question was about retailers using the classifieds as their advertising space. The likes of Bike Market etc I like bike market and have had good service and just bought a bike from them at what I considered a good price. IMO it was underpriced. So I'm selling my Old bike (2017 old?) and Bike Market want to offer me a price that I consider to be way too low. So sure, this is there business model and they need to make money but does this not then force the price down of second hand goods ..... which brings us to my first point ... are we paying too much to start with? But the topic of the thread ... things do seem to be getting tighter ! Seems more going to fuel electricity blah blah ..... I think Im starting to whine !
