I had noticed this too. It seems that the 'good old boys' i.e PA-28's, C150/2 etc are going for silly money even with good amounts of kit.
I had toyed with the idea of buying a C152 but TBH, with all things considered I have decided to build a Vans RV7. As much as I dearly love the Cessna's theres just no comparison in terms of performance, technology etc.
Obviously theres the issue of CofA Vs Permit but I can live with the restrictions.
Now, only if those twins would drop drastically in price ................

I went from a C150 to RV7. The 150 has it's place and I had a great time in it. The RV7 is a different beast. GREAT FUN (just doing aerobatics clearence).
Have to admit one big reason for changing from CofA to permit was EASA.
If you are starting a RV check out

Building & Flying the Vans RV7 (click build diary) maybe handy for your RV7 build. Stick with it you will get a great a/c.
