My humble 1978 911 SC. I paid 22k for it in 1999... They asking around 75k for a similar car in Aus right now.

The early VIN# 1971 Datsun 240Z (all original) that I sold for $4000 about 15 years ago. I did the first modification in it by changing the points over to Pertronix electronic ignition....it still had the original steelie wheelies, and hand choke.

That car, in that shape would easily be worth $25000-$30000 today on B.A.T.

The '64 Corvette convertible w/fact. hardtop that I sold for $1600, or the '70 911 coupe that I sold for $8K. Both would now bring around $50K.

On the brighter side, my two vintage VWs are both worth more $$ than I have into them, and Type 2 VW buses have exploded in value over the last 10 years.

My BMX bikes and stuff, and my nos skateboard stuff.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1616209538.jpg

75 large? I am bringing all mine down under. What's the exchange rate now?

I remember those copers. We called them coping out this way. But holy siht, 400 bucks for an 8 dollar item back then? We used to rip the plastic handles out of shopping carts and snap them on our trucks. Trackers, or Indy, we make em' fit. they didn't last very long but we had a lot of them. Last board I bought was a Sims 10" Superlight and also wanted a PhaseIII so badly only can't afford it.

I may have a bunch of bicycles and a bunch of old parts that are worth more then I bought them for? I have a set of Binda straps bought for 14 bucks. Today, they maybe 40?

Pool cue...Palmer model M from the 2nd catalog. Bought early 70's for $125. Probably worth around $5K now. It goes to my pool playing honorary nephew (son of a deceased best buddy) when I croak. M-1 Garand got from the old DCM army program...lucked out got an unfired korean war era rifle made by International Harvester. If memory serves, paid around $150. Not a clue on worth today. It will go to the hubby of the same buddy's baby sister. He an old gunny, collects guns....

The rest of my junk, don't really care...

Right now: 1 AUD = 0.77 USD

I have a buddy with three Micheal Jordan rookie cards.

Perfect shape? Over $2MM.

Cardboard. Wtf???

Friggin Pokemon cards and Transformer toys. I had no idea that either are worth what they are. I wouldn't have considered them "collectibles" but they damn sure are! My son sold a few of his cards for more than $50 per.

What about this one?
