If you can get someone to discount their #1 or #2 car at a 25 to 40% discount you, like they, are missing the forest for the trees. I'll even take it with a few stones in the wheel treads to seal the deal. What a bunch of blather and worse yet some actually think this is the real deal. If it's #1 or #2 with the correct parts installed and the gravel removed along with any other dirt. Get out your tooth brush and make $25 to $50K a pop if you can find anyone foolish to believe that stuff. Why would anyone sell a #1 or #2 car for #3 money if all it needs is $5 to $10K in parts with a professional full detail?? If taken literally, their condition assessment makes no sense. Also as far as true #1 values, originals bring lots more than restored #1. I do not see that explained in their value assessment. This would also be relevant in #2 cars. For #3 originals that just need a professional detail and minor repairs to be # 2, lots of money to be made if sellers believe Hagerty's broad brush assessments.
Sellers who believe, wanted.  |
I think you missed the point of this conversation.
The original question was "Are they getting those prices on Ebay?"
Some answered "no they are not" some answered "yes they are"
Many and myself agree for the right cars they are, and the cars that are not selling, are mostly likely because the cars are not as nice as the owners think they are.
People seem to be using this Hagerty valuation values but do not use the Hagerty definition of condition, I pointed that out by using Hagerty quoted definition to prove my observation. That does not mean I agree with the Hagerty definition.
I do feel people over value cars/ over price them for the condition and that is why they do not sell, I do not believe that the 930 market has taken a nose dive is the cause for the cars being relisted and unsold.
