What are people thinking?

Same as Mustang Fox bodies. Just a couple of years ago they were giving them away...... Now try to find an unmolested original 87-93 Mustang. They want your first born and your left n--! At least around my area.....

I found some more trikes for sale from Dreamland ,on the 350x pic ,it dosent even have a rear caliper for 4 grand. 70's over 600 bux really nice is just ridiculous. Lol

We have some crazy trike prices up in Canada. I would love to get a 350x to add to my fleet but at that price it's just a dream

I checked the above kijiji ad today. Trike was SOLD. I wonder if the seller got his asking price of $13,750?? When I contacted him a while back - that was the price and he was firm on it. No haggling.

When the going price for a mint 350x is $13,750 I'm selling out .lol. when they are that nice and that expensive, it takes all the fun out of it,and it's too expensive to ride. The same happened to muscle cars back in the late 90s.

On a related note you used to regularly find rare parts on ebay and at good prices. Now rare parts rarely show up, and when they do the bidding goes sky high. Last summer a CALFAB swingarm for a Tecate went for $1700 bucks. Not too many years ago I was the only bidder on a CALFAB that went for $600, and I thought that was too high.

Been waiting for this thread. I'm in the southeast and you have to tell some sellers that their rusted out, smoking, fender stitched, front folks bent in so far the fender is hitting the frame, gas tank seriously dented and leaks, missing headlight, but the cracked shell is there (why???), who knows what animal got hold of the seat, 3 different worn tires with green slime oozing out of the valve stem, handle bar bent, 1984 Honda ATC 200s is "NOT" like the mint 86' OEM Honda ATC 250R that is "listed" on ebay for over 5 grand. Had to get that off my chest....LOL Talking about the bubble busting and prices coming down; a few years ago I bougt a very nice all oem 87' Big Red for $1500, shortly there after, the 3rd gen Big Red's shot up to around $3000-$4000 (nice oem one's) and more, now they're back down in this area to about $1800 maybe evern $1500. I think that most of the outrageous prices you see on some 3 wheelers especially like the one 200s I described are sold at a much reduced or fair price, if they sell at all. Don't get me wrong though, the liquid R's, 86' and 87' T3's and the 86' Tri Z in mint condition, or what I would call a mint rider, I can see them bringing good money, not outrageous $10,000 and up money though.

Didn't a 86 250r still in the crate go for over $48k a few years back on eBay? That's crazy.

I'm not sure that one ever sold. I know it existed but the guy may have kept it. I can't image owning that and keeping it in the create. I don't know if I would ride it, but I would at least have to assemble it--put it in the living room as a work of art.

Or just put in in a glass case still in the crate and use it as the best end table ever made.

Yeah I think I would have definitely assembled it and just put on display in my living room or something . Not sure the gf would have approved...lol

I am vacationing in Florida. Wow! And I thought prices were getting stupid at home.

Posting an AD with a OBO is going to get you offers of 1/2 your asking price.

I have sold a couple different things in the past. I always post up FIRM with a message saying I will lower my price if I get no response after a week on my FIRM price. Lower my price again FIRM. Keeps the tire kickers out.

I look at it like a silent auction... The buyer will may or may not jump on it. Wait and it maybe gone... Different way of doing things.
