WOW What is up with some of these prices.

[RiceIsWrong]

Looking through the Ad's I see some 68-69 Camaros going for way more than they are worth, why is it that they are way over inflated?
I have 5 67-69 Camaros three that are "Show Quality" and I couldnt see me selling them for as high as what unfinished cars and 20' ers are selling for...
HEY YOU OVER PRICED CAR FREAKS, WAKE UP!

Just had to rant a little...

[coolracing]

Alot of people think they have Barret Jackson cars lately!

[olds48]

Oh, I hate barrett jackson :evil: You used to be able to buy a decent car,not running,a fixer for $500. That same car is now some "rare piece of history" :roll:

"Yeah man,thats not your average Chevelle I'm selling.I saw one just like it on Barrett Jackson going for....."

.....what ever . Shut up.

Barret Jackson ruined the old car market. I have a GOOD friend that lives next door that had an old mustang he picked up for practically free. He watched a few episodes of BJ (pun is oh so intended) and then he wanted like four grand for the heap.

I rank B-J right up there with...well,dont get me started! :evil:

[grimratter]

I agree. BJ has ruined the old car market. I refuse to watch it. It just pisses me off to see these "rich kids ( and older guys)" with way too much money, paying thoses crazy prices just because they can.
I said this once on another forum, but I was watching it a few years ago, and there was this rich guy that had bought 5 Lingenfelter Vettes and then a '69 Camaro came up. It was a nice car, maybe worth $50,000. He bid it up to $125,000 and got it. When the auctioneer asked, after buying 5 Vettes, why would you buy a Camaro? He said "just cause I wanted it"!

[TheYellaBrick]

Well boys, it's called the 'free market system' of supply and demand. Unfortunately for us hard core gearheads, it means way too many potential project cars just sit and rust away in fields, leaky barns and buildings, and overgrown back yards all across America. :( :(

[TheRabbit]

It's not just cars. Some people think that because they can post it on the www it's worth twice as much.

I know this truck and it's a really well built truck, but no way is it worth 38k as a roller.

ive been comlpaining about b j for awhile. i buy old bodys and man im about to call it quits.you want high, price a steel rusty all to hell beat up 41 willys. saw one sell for over 25,000 and it was almost all gone. thats why ive got a glass body waiting for me to build.and we used to buy alot of antiques for the house and shop.not anymore,american pickers has shot the price of ru of the mill JUNK twice as high as it was a couple yrs ago.

[TheYellaBrick]

The fact that scrap steel prices are way up means quite a lot of useable cars of all ages are being crushed, thus driving up the prices because of scarcity. ( SCARCITY ? Sounds like a disease ! :shock: )
I see farmers dragging into the local scrapper, all sorts of potential projects, and I almost cry whenever I see it. :cry: :cry: :cry:
Makes me even madder still at the yahoos who have destroyed our economy just for power OVER the people.

[oldandtired]

DD, I wish you would not hold in your feelings. Once in a while tell us how you really feel. :D

[olds48]

I know what you mean oldandtired, DMDD is just so unspoken. You need to loosen up man! :wink:

[outlaw256]

easy DD your gonna have a stroke!!!

[bad68backhalf]

Sometimes its hard to put a price on something,i have a 68 camaro racecar on here for sale for $25,000,i have 50 in the car. I even feel maybe its a little high but i could not replace this car for 25,plus i know what i have,and that this car was built right,and using the best parts that are not cheap.But i have seen cars on here that makes me wonder if people are crazy,lol.

[grimratter]

But i have seen cars on here that makes me wonder if people are crazy,lol.

Yes. People ARE crazy!

[mytmouz]

IMO, you have to price your stuff here, (and elsewhere), to make the lowball offers a little higher. WHich is exactly why I stopped listing anything...

[injectedrat68]

yep b/J is killing us. I bought a 68 camaro ss in 1983 for 3500.00 thats right 3500.00.It had 396/375hp w/ 4spd. Its now a c/m tube chassis drag car. I just shake my head when i think of B/J but how do you replace all the metal you cut out of the car. Would it be worth putting it back. I dont think so, to much of a nightmare.

[bixblk]

Pricing a product, car, car part or what ever is a very tricky thing. Ultimately it boils down to what you will take for the item and someone willing to pay it. I have bought and sold parts and cars etc. and I still cannot figure out what people are looking for and what motivates people to buy something. I am giving away a 496 BBC (apart) and got a bunch of interest but no one handing me cash and loading it in his truck.
I do believe that part of the issue is the scams and dishonesty that exists when using the internet to buy something. I asked a guy at work today and he told me to raise the price because people may think it is a scam or something wrong with the parts because it is so cheap ???
So again a very tricky thing.
Good Luck
