 Meanwhile, the bikes I'm trying to sell now that I know what I want aren't moving and neither is the entire bicycle industry but you wouldn't know that because you haven't made an investment in bicycle parts for 20 years. Is that because on a teacher's pay you couldn't afford to?

:-)  First, it's false that I haven't made an "investment" in bike parts in 20 years. I simply haven't told you what I've bought.
But since you use the term "investment," care to tell us how your bike buying and selling "investments" have worked out? I recall nothing but reports on your many purchases and your subsequent complaints about nothing selling.
Are you ahead or behind?
Related: I have one quirky friend who claims to be an antique dealer. She constantly buys stuff and carts it around to various antique shows and shops, hoping to sell it.
Well. In about 12 years, after moving into a large and beautiful home, she has filled her basement with "stock," plus her large garage and other storage spaces. It's obvious the inflow is far greater than the outflow. And her long-suffering husband has complained to me about the thousands of dollars he spends per year to support his wife's "business."
