My apologies for the vent, but here goes...
Hopefully Frank & some of the other attendees will jump in on this- but I gotta ask a big WTF???
Did everybody drive their for-sale rigs in, then add an extra 10K just because there were a few decent cars there??
Wow- to me, the show was weak this year, and the asking prices were a joke. Yeah- in the long run it helps me, having 3 first-gens, but an extra 10-15k?? puuuh-lleeeeeze.
I tried to talk to a guy (seriously trying to buy it, I brought cash) about a 65 Malibu- pretty, but needed serious detail work & was about 1/2 as striaght as he thought. My brothers and I are trying to build a 65 'Bu for my step-dad; that was his last non-truck Hot Rod. He's done A LOT for our family- so you get where we're going with this. We did the whole car-surprise thing with Mom back in 94, so now it's his turn. OK- enough rambling...
Guy wouldn't budge. Wanted 18.5 (was worth maybe 10 in a cash-carrying arena), and wouldn't move on it (Sat afternoon). I think more and more guys are bringing their crap out just so they can say (I turned down $xxxxx; I'll never sell it). What a bunch of crap. Leave it at home & let somebody who is serious about selling use the space.
