flea market/antique show stop

[dragnusa]

Guess I shouldn't be shocked any more on the prices people put on bikes at flea markets and antique shows but stopped by one today looking for anything that I might want to use on a build. As Im going down the tables I see a woman's schwinn mid weight cruiser with rotten tires and a steel wooled paint job. The guy had it marked for a $100 and was firm on the price.

Ran into a 60s womens liner? Any way it had a rat trap fork and i had to ask, how much?
$200.00 firm cause it'd been recently sherwin williams restored.Yes they silver painted the fork.

Same thing with vintage vespas... Somebody finds a rust bucket in a barn, instantly 5 grand...

I have a hard time now finding bikes.
Used to find so many bikes in the metal bin at the dump, that I would have to leave some behind.

Bikes that were $50- $60 bucks on Craigslist several years ago, people are now asking ridiculous amounts of money for.
