Bruce a co-worker restores cars as a hobby. I've seen his cars and they are like $30K nice! He told me he went to a car show this weekend and found some great deals on vintage cars. He talked to one seller who was selling a restored customized 72 Nova. Bruce went on about the engine, the paint and the wheels and the interior. He said he was asking $10K. He then asked what his bottom dollar was. The guy said $8500. Bruce then told the guy. "Unbelievable, I can't believe your selling this car that cheap". The guy replied "I know, but I have a house loan problem right now".

So I'm wondering with a lot of house for closures if we will see a drop in price for toys such as motorcycles?

Excellent little bit of insight ! And the answer is yes. I'm the manager of the largest used motorcycle dealership in Kansas, and the number of private owner bikes coming thru my doors has risen sharply in the last several months
You would be amazed how often I have heard "things are kinda tight now..."

I think a lot of people don't look at the big picture when they purchase... only at the 'great' deal they're getting at the time...

Hope they come through okay...
