AUCTION

[jonz]

Seems the bubble may have burst on ridiculous car prices!. Four hours in
and there are more passed in than sold.

    As an example, Kombi`s were *all*(dont quote me) *passed in* at
about *One third* of the prices they were *easily* selling for in
previous sales.

    Daryl might be pleased to know that the three pointed star did
pretty well. ;)

It ebbs and flows. Prices rise to insane levels and then they droip back
a little. Then they go up stupid again, and drop back a little bit. 2
steps forward, 1 step back.

I don't mind. I bought my Fairlane 3 years ago for 8 grand, and got
offered 25 for it earlier this year and haven't done a thing to it other
than pull the engine out and put it on a pallet.

If you think car prices are nuts try caravans, son has been buying and
selling caravans because there is more money in it than cars.
He bought a 2017 large caravan from an auction in Qld, supposedly a
repairable write off but no one including me can find any damage, rules
for reregistering RW caravans are very different to cars, he paid $40k
delivered from Qld, got it registered a few days later and was offered
$65k soon after.
Didn't sell it because they decided to keep it, sold the one they
already had for double what he paid for it and it was sold and gone less
than 24hrs after being advertised.

For fuck's sake :)

The world is absolutely nuts at the moment. People are bored fucking
shitless and because there's a shortage of new cars they're paying
stupid money for *used* ones. I can't help feeling that some people are
going to shit themselves big time once the world gets back to some kind
of normal.

It's bizarre. The people next door recently bought a new van which they
had to wait some time for as while they're made here some components
were sourced from overseas (the US if I remember him saying) and there
was a backlog of containers waiting to be shipped. As soon as the
containers landed here they had their van finished and delivered within
a few days, and their old one was put straight on Marketplace where it
sold that same afternoon.

It's a fucking awesome time to be selling anything, but an insane time
for buyers.

[Xeno]

Well, yeah, look at the heap of shit you paid $50k for. You were seen
coming a mile off.

Son's 2021 Landcruiser Sahara is now worth more than he paid for it
despite doing about 20,000km.

I've been thinking about upgrading my car but I don't want to pay a
silly price which I might regret later.
We probably paid too much for the wife's Golf but we got $5k more for
the WRX than we expected so it worked out OK.

Sombody paid 1 million for a VS Commodore with 86 km on odometer.
It was a HSV GTSR (build number 1). Fark why is number 1 so special?
Really it was a Berlina with a stroked V8 and ridiculously huge rear wing.

[Noddy]

It's collectable. Like anything else that's collectable, they have a
value that is driven by the number of people who want to own them. If
you don't understand this then no amount of explaining will do you any good.

[Xeno]

Like the $50k of *silly money* you plonked down on that F100 sight
unseen and haven't stopped whingeing about ever since. Any discussion or
explanation on value by you is as hollow and fake as you are.

[Clocky]

It's rare and collectable and an investment so easy to understand why
it's desirable.

Speaking of collectables.... How about a pix of that Grange collection
you've claimed to own Fraudster?

ps. Has Deryl sighted it *yet*?

It'll be *on the desk in his office*. And then it won't.

Nope. No hypocrisy there hey Fraudster!
