All,
I'll make this amusing story quick....
A few days ago I spotted a '67 B in average shape at a local garage. Faded
paint, a few small dents, tired top and interior. So I called the garage.
Turns out the car's in for new 6volts and the owner's interested in selling it.
How much? 15K. I think it's a mistake and leave my number. I figure this
thing's worth $1,000 to me.
The owner calls me a few minutes ago. Am I interested in buying it? I ask how
much. Sure enough, $15K. I tell him "That's 10 times what I'd pay for it.
In the condition I saw, it's worth maybe 1,500 tops, but not to me."
THen he tells me he has an offer on it for 17K. I politely tell him to take
it, and to go any buy 4 B's in similar condition.
It's amazing how much people think these things are worth.
Anyone want a '78 Midget with a fresh motor? Only twenty thousand dollars and
I'll deliver it anywhere in the continental US.
<grin>
Mike
