That looks like a nice Kirkham, but do you really think they will get that much money without the CSX#? |

Say what you want, but as far as I am concerned, CSX 4206 set the bar on the 4000 series cars. Vernon's car is awesome and so are the others, so not taking anything from them.
Somebody just prove me wrong.

OK I'll admit it. I want to grow up and be like Evan.
I remember looking at buying a house in a development. And the developer couldn't sell any of the houses. Their market was nonexistent. So, I went back a few weeks later only to discover that the developer had raised prices. I asked the salesperson why they raised prices when they couldn't sell any homes prior to the sales price increase. The salesperson responded by saying that the developer felt that if they couldn't sell them for the lower price why not sell them for more and still not sell them. 
It looks like Evan has adopted this pricing strategy. Instead of asking $229,000, Evan INCREASED the asking price to $249,000. Of course, there's still a hint of the lower price near the bottom of the ad, where he has listed both prices. 
Is Evan sticking his tongue out at me/us? Right back at ya.   |

I have seen that many times with developers. They fire the marketing group, add some bling and put a new marketing team on them. Sometimes it actually works, sometimes not. Just like these cars, it all depends on who is looking and how you have it packaged...

Evan thanks you for this astute observation and has now corrected the inconsistency |

He should hire me as his auditor/accountant. At least we know he's reading this thread. |

Proofreader maybe, but auditor/accountant? I think he has that covered.
And yes, I'm sure he's watching...

Yep, ol' RodKnock will finagle him a 1031 treatment on his sale and purchase of a new toy.  |

There are products that sell primarily because of their exclusivity, and they are exclusive primarily because of their high price. That lets the buyer flaunt his/her wealth. That works with a brand or marque that is widely known in the buyer's circle for its price. I'm not sure it would work for one person who owns one specific example to try and claim his specific item is far more valuable that all the other similar items. After all, how can you flaunt the value of your car if it looks essentially like many other less expensive cars. I guess you'd have to take every opportunity to explain to every passing stranger why your car was so special. I'm sure we've all met that guy and don't treasure the memory.

Wow - 229 posts on this thread. Evan probably drops in to read this and feels like he's died and gone to heaven, but gets to look down on us mere mortals and watch our reaction. |

I suspect its more like Ebeneezer Scrooge finding out how people really felt about him. .... If he does read any of this, perhaps he'll spend more time thinking about what other people have said and less time cherry picking their comments for the few words that support his misguided position. .... But I doubt it.

So, a short while after Evan "left" someone said we didn't have anything to ***** about.
Amazing thing is this thread is now some 11 pages and going.

Interesting valuation tool just out by Hagerty Insurance. I selected the CSX 4000 series. I hope the link works. It says to add $15k for alloy body!

But if that's how they are evaluating them, according to their own website, then one would think that they would also use those numbers for "Agreed Value" policies, right?

I'm not an insurance expert. But market values haven't doubled in 3 years. In fact, for many, many, many years, Evan believed his car was worth north of $200,000. If market values truly have doubled in 3 years, like Haggerty states, then CSX4206 should be worth $400,000+ now.
And I know all the CSX owners out there will be re-running their computer programs and calculations if, and when, Evan's car does sell. I can see you now Bernica. If Evan's car is worth $250,000, then mine must be worth $235,000. |

Interesting post, probably not so much Bernica as you, seems Evan getting his asking price weighs heavily on your mind |

No, the macroscopic view is that "badges" equate to soup with bread and you better be prepared to pay the $3 for a freakin' bread stick.
