Sad.

 

[RickB]

He isn't "getting" that kind of money yet. He's 'asking'.

Someone has made an offer, but clearly for less than the BIN price.

 

[spritenut]

Nice interior. I think he has one too many zeros on his price.

 

[tosoutherncars]

Hoodpins... Ugh! Nice early car though... if it's solid under all that black paint, looks like a $3000 car to me.

Can't rely just on a book value.....

I think this illustrates a point I've made on occasion: the NADA guide is OK as a general starting point, but it is sometimes wildly unrealistic in specific cases. Also, remember that it quotes retail prices, (i.e., dealer asking prices), not prices for individual transactions.

And, it's not unusual for ebay sellers to be a tad optimistic about values. I kinda think we've all noticed this....

Yeah, that is pretty dang high. Lots of money and time would need to be put in to make it worth that much. I don't think all the vehicles I own would bring that now.

Makes mine in the neighborhood of $30,000..yee haw...hope he gets his money!!

 

[regularman]

I wonder if I should have put collision insurance on mine if they are worth that much?

 

[zimmy]

looks like its still worth the MSRP of $1875 ... :wink: ...z

 

[John Moore]

I guess someone saw the "Austin Healey" name plate and thought they had a treasure.

 

[Silverghost]

Should we email him and tell him his Austin Healy Sprite is second in rarity only to an Austin Healy Coke and if he can find one and sell them as a pair, he can name his price??! <said with utmost sincerity and the straightest face possible!>

Rule #15526 says we should not talk about cars on Ebay.

Cheers

[Silverghost]

Oops, my mistake. I stopped at rule #15525......missed the next one. My apologies to all.......

 

[bugimike]

Constructive criticism :wink: !!! You never know who you are knocking!!!! :blush:

 

[Trevor Jessie]

Yup, we have few members that live in that area. However, I do not think this car belongs to any of the regular posters.

 

[bugimike]

Still, it never hurts to be kind!! :wink:

 

[tony barnhill]

Well, I still say "I hope he gets his money."
