If you sold your soul in the '90s, now you can buy it back-Syncros Revolution

Doubt this set would plummet in value anytime soon...:

You know.. You could almost justify it to yourself on that basis.

What a thing though..

Sick, who the heck keeps that stored for decades !!!

Some scenarios:
1. you broke the first one and got another on warranty, and understand its future value, so keep it for 20 years, then try to make a profit. Nice to look at in the mean time.
2. your shop had it and went bankrupt and you bought the stock and stored it for a few more years until things became collectible, then try to make a profit.
3. you are not telling the truth, you are actually working for the central bank on pushing up inflation. e.g. you bought it from someone for €500, maybe during the corona time, store it for "20 years" (meaning "a long time", eg 20 dog years) and then try to sell it for €2000 to make a profit.

Likely whomever ends up buying it to maximise their investment.

This has surely got to be a very toppy price for something like this. Those who remember lusting after this stuff will start ageing out in the next decade or so.

All feasible, I didn't buy them at the time because I went Grafton´s Joystix and Cook Bros. Racing dog bones !!!, I still regret not buying them, and even the Ritchey Logic Sugino´s !!!

With Syncros rings tho that means they are a later version.
I’ve spent a lot of silly money on bike parts over the years - but I’ve never spent 2k on a pair of cranks

Not surprising that that kind of stupid price turns up on Kleinanzeigen, the Germans seem pretty keen on throwing money down the toilet.

I did!
(but not for Syncros)

Considering this stuff was priced new as much as several months' salary back then, it's only inflation adjusted money...Sadly destined for the glass cabinet surely, would be quite cool to put in good use though.
