In saying that though my own 24mx4 was not that easy to sell, also Higgos mint griffon was slow in selling on ebay, maybe a sign of the times...
Probably a good time to buy at the moment, there's a nice trick francis Barnett on ebay at the moment for a £5000 buy it now, they were making nearer £7000 a couple of years ago...
Have to agree with you scott, even the cream of the pre 74 era, are not selling, cz`s pursangs etc, all struggling to get average money.
Without wishing to alter the thread, i will add that i think although the aftermath of the recession has left quite a few people still struggling, i believe the pre 65/74 bike values peaked a few years ago & coupled with the retirement factor of the older riders, demand has slumped.

I agree with you all and all your comments. But I would just like to add I believe for as long as the Greeves championship is running and other such events throughout the UK we will always have a demand for good quality bikes to keep the lads riding.But whoever is buying BEWARE
there is plenty of shiny made up crap out there.
The value of mid seventy,s CZ,s & Pursangs etc fell because they had to go into the TWINSHOCK class against red rockets/ KTM,s CCM,s & mega Maico,s .If you had an early 74,s bike you were left eating dust?
Some clubs are addressing the inbetweeny aged bikes though, by introducing a pre 69/68 class, dependent on which club it is, which is a good thing, bringing lots of previously low value bikes back into contention....
