So I suppose that if someone offered you a 1952 356 Porsche for $5,000 that you would say no, that its not worth it? How about a 250 Ferarri GTO for $20,000? Still not worth it?

Well ladies and gents, these cars sold for this amount in the not too distant past. The Porsche is worth far more and the Ferarri in the $3-6 MILLION dollar range these days. In the 1960's I could have bought B-17 Boeing's for $15,000 while today they are simply not available at any price, or if sold its over $10 million bux.

Just because its "not worth it to me" does not mean a lot. That 1866 rifle that Grandpa has in his closet that he wanted to will you might allow you to retire 20 years early, but guess that does not matter, right?
