Right on to this too. In all fairness, if you're looking to find that dude who has a 911 in his yard and you're waiting to hear yeah, I'll take $5K for it - those days are probably long gone.
People can easily find what they are worth. In 2012 when I got my car it was on Craigs - and the guy was nice enough to let me come up the next day and he held the car. Price: $4900. But then again, a nice SC I was looking at went for $9200, and a Pelican on here almost sold me his running SC for $7600 (yes, this was all 2012). I passed on another midyear for $4600, and bought a '74 that was pretty rusted for $5500 (for a possible 3.0 to switch, but I never did). But the game has changed significantly since then. People can get on the internet and check.
At this point you can pretty much assume that anyone who has a 911 in their yard and it can be seen then they have been approached. And if it's still there then they probably aren't selling. People do sell - but like others have said it's when they have the cash at hand and are willing to put it on the barrel head.
It would be interesting to see what Adam says about this as he makes a lot of deals with a lot of people that probably were hesitant or didn't want to sell until they were in their grave.
