So, this isn't a call anyone out thread....I'm just curious. I've been surfing the classified ads here, and just wonder if anyone actually sells for what they post?
I know we live in a world now where selling our heritage back to us is big bucks, but I've been buying, fixing and selling old cars for quite a while as a hobby and I find it difficult to believe we are in a market where Fifth Avenue's go for 5k and F-body wagons go for North of 7k. Are you kidding??
I distinctly remember not all that long ago that you couldn't give either of those cars away for more than $1500....yet here they are. What changed about them that drastically increased their desirability...scarcity? They aren't rare down here in the south by any means.
When I bought my Gran Fury from a dealer last year, his counter-offer was $300 UNDER my offer just because he wanted rid of it. This isn't hate, but I see this heading the same way as the $700 "hemi" 2095150 starters I see (and exposed) on eBay.
I don't begrudge anyone trying to capitalize on a sale, but telling us a slant-six Volare wagon is now worth twice what it sold for new? Come on.....
