Any decent car on eBay is sold quickly, the ones that linger have a story or are overly modded.

Well said.
I think sure 930s are more common than some collector cars out there, but @ anywhere from 300-3000 per year for 15yrs they're still not 'common' as compared to - hmmm, say - longhoods.
Look at the longhood market this last year. It's absurd! Can't touch those things, the worst of the worst yard rats still have value. Even crazy cobbled together molested numbers not matching engine / trans swap modded 'n rodded longhoods pull decent coin. It's nuts.
993s are seeing the same, as they bang the "last of the aircooled's" gong - despite the 930 being arguably more significant / poignant / uberawesome.
930s are a couple/few years from even further hockeysticking along the longhood lines IMO as they age a couple more years, as Pete said and many of us have predicted / hoped for quite some time now - and now we're actually starting to see the movement.
Prices lagged flat with even a nominal drop during the Great Recession... but folks still have $$$ out there and those are the ones driving the market up.
Couple that w/ folks vying for dwindling opportunities to experience raw unbridled Homologation derived levels of Awesome (reference my "what makes 930s so special" reply) as the manufacturers all make increasingly complicated expensive and isolating nanny machines... the values will skyrocket.
Is my '87 60k driver w/ nominal bolt-ons and some JennyCraig'ing @ Hagerty's stated $$$ average of $58.6k? I'd not thunk so and my agreed upon Grundy policy is prob set ~ $35-40k. I've got to up that @ renewal, maybe $45-50k... certainly not $60-90k... yet 8-).
Hold on tight folks, it promises to be a wild ride.
And disregard the blissfully ignorant commentary from he who's transplant precludes him from riding said 930 wave... always some gems of painful painfulness sprouted from such it seems... sigh.
