You would think that over time parts would be getting rarer and therefore prices would go up. I see this for rarer NOS and after-market parts, and sense there is a small community of traders and collectors catering for each other. The community of people simply looking for parts to keep a bike running or making it race-ready are dwindling. The net result is if you picked up parts for a project you're not going to do (like me) you're going to take a bath.

And I paid $200.00 for a NOS 1980 CR250 tank with cap.
Man I must have got a great deal.
