I ran across a guy with a ton of NOS mid school stuff. (Nothing particularly high end, everything 10-12 years old) He wants very close to original suggested retail for his NIB bikes. Would you load up on some bikes or pass them up?

I probably will buy a Haro Cruiser to ride since it would only cost me a little over 200 bucks, and I was toying with the idea of buying 2 more bikes and putting them in the attic without opening the boxes and forgetting about them. If any of this stuff was high end or if the prices were better there wouldn't be a question, but I don't see these bikes being worth the expense or effort.

If the price is right and you have the jack pick it up. One day that stuff will be sought after just like everything know is. If you get some of these goodies post pics.

Eh, it's only diaper money. It's about time the kid started using the potty anyway.

id buy 2 bikes NIB a month until my bike induced divorce, then Id give my wife all the heavy stuff and keep all the light race stuff for myself, all boxed in the attic of my new house.... ;-)
all this is hypothetical right? I love my girl.... ;-),and the reality of it is, Id buy 1 bike, something with every bloody little gadget stock on it, like a decked out partset...and wrap that sucker in UV/Neutron Shielding, and bury it in an old abandoned salt mine nearby...
then Id buy another the next month, and so on and so on, till I had enough to build a house out of the sealed wrapped bike boxes, then Id spray the whole thing down in concrete, and leave a notice carved in the doorway showing whats in the walls..
really tho, hook me up with a GT/DYNO.....i really will keep it NIB, really....i wont be riding it within 3 minutes of me signing for it...welllll 3 1/2 minutes maybe....

I'd be inclined to pick one up that would make a good rider. NOS be damned, they're made to be ridden.

I think it depends on what it is, there is mid school junk and there is mid school gold. I mean, does he have dynos and park pres or Kastans and Techniques?
