Well, let's not get too psychobabble-ish. It's the Marketplace Forum. People come here all the time looking for estimates of value, for good reason. LOM is no different. He's looking for a range of values to buy (or sell?) a 356. I can't help there.
I'd love a 356 beater myself. Mainly because that's the only one I could (hardly) justify paying tens of thousands of dollars for. Oh, and also, my wife asked me recently when she would get to park in the garage again, so that's not happening.
