Agreed with @Skülly, to get a 1976 Mercian with nuovo record throughout on here I would need to pay silly money. I went to Italy and picked up exactly that for £150 (admittedly it needed a fair amount work). If I were to sell it back on here I could double my money, even after extensive renovation costs.
However, it isn't just on here, it is in wider society. I had somebody offer me £1500 for the bike on the street, can you imagine that happening only 5 years ago?
