I don't tell them what I paid for the car, but I will tell them the approximate price to buy a new one with the same drive train and modifications.

I don't think I have been in a conversation about the AC in the past 5 years where the person talking hasn't come right out and asked, "So, what's this thing worth, anyway?" I always say since it's not for sale, I haven't checked.

Default If You Can Say It With a Straight Face...

The last time that happened to me I told the guy "It's a replica -- I ordered it off the internet from China. It was only a couple of hundred bucks, but it took forever to get here." Of course I said it seriously and with an absolutely straight face. The guy was not sure whether I was telling the truth or not.

Like the OP, I was not expecting the "how much" question as often as I'm getting it...and I've just been showing people at work pictures, I haven't even had it out yet!

I've taken this exact route. I tell them what I have and where they can find pricing information.
