Gang, Question time.
Do you all find it as irritating as I do when(ok, IF) you go out to eBay and search on 'Austin Healey Sprite' just to see if someone listed some whiz-bang that desperately need or you can't live without out only to find that the majority of listing are trinkets and trash items that someone slapped an AH/Austin Healey/etc badge on or that they are listing of things that that someone has a belief that it is total 'unobtainium' and they want some amount equal to the GNP of some European countries?
Maybe I have a bad skew on things, but some examples of this are the myriad of key chains, photos, rain panchos, tee-shirts, etc (for trinkets and trash)...and then something like the guy that has a bug-eye front end that needs work and is asking $2k, or the guy with a Judson supercharger asking almost $2K...and then there is the guy that has a nice looking Bugeye that he just restored... really nice car, but are BEs really worth $23K over the internet?
Thanks for listening...and please feel free to help reset any bad skewed viewpoint I have mentioned here...
