COBRA and all car PRICE GUIDE *TO ALL

[What'saCobra?]

Thanks, but not for free i won't.

In general, i am not much of a consumer of so-called "pricing" data, from anyone but sellers i know or buyers i know. IMHFO, "analysts", like "auctioneers", are interested in big market jumps and shilling customer's and their own car positions.

Your opinion is of value to me, so perhaps i should accept that this fellow isn't involved in such dealings.

But, most i have met have been involved in the run-up of prices far beyond rational notions at some time or other and armed with insider knowledge get out before it drops and hurts un-/under- or mis-informed "investor" enthusiasts.

In the end, this side of the "investment enthusiasm" market keeps cars in garages in the "best of times", made of cement blocks w/RE, away from the public (with some important exceptions, like the Shelby Collection near Boulder CO).

Of course, who would turn-down a significant up-tick in values if offered and the funds needed? Perhaps this fellow you recommend will keep someone from giving-away value. But, as i say, even the mere existence of these "market" magazines come and go as the markets wax and wane.

NO ONE has correctly forecasted these huge increases in prices. Nor is anyone forecasting any crashes. But..

These are fairly tricky times in several markets that are usually quite stable. These prices may not stay, particularly given the propensity of many "gamblers" in our market to bet on the come.

Few market guides discuss this rather salient point and certainly not with probabilities and expected values. Most of us just buy what we want and can, a very reasonable strategy for fun and pride.

i will take a look at his guide and thank you for the reference.
