Is there a "waiting period" that you would like to prescribe between buying a car/parts and selling same?:rolleyes:Quote:

Or do you have a rolling scale you want to prescribe between date of purchase and resale? Perhaps a % per week, month, year?
Or maybe if the person is a registry member they can log their purchases here, and then when they go to sell they can give a % to the SRegistry.... Would they get to deduct for improvements, and how do we value the improvements if they don't have receipts????
Just curious... as I know want to have the groundrules before I list parts/cars.
I think I paid $7,200 for my Gulf Blue 67S, and I think there may be some up side when I go to sell. I wonder if someone will find that autotrader ad?

I've been amazed at the rusted out 356 hulks that have been saved. In 10 years, our early cars will be the same "vintage" (and assumedly/hopefully the same level of desireability to save)...

I am constantly searching for early cars, and I am often surprised at things that I have seen online or in person that I pass on, only to have them turn up here or on some of the other enthusiast sites with significantly higher asking prices. If I had bought it though, I might let the body cool a bit before reposting the car and offering it to the enthusiast community while the old ad was still active.
I don't care how much money this guy can make flipping a car, his business, and his good fortune to be able to.
But to make it seem like he's doing ALL OF US SOME GREAT, GOOD DEED by offering it here for a $11K profit, before it 'goes public' (or whatever) is ludicrous.
Edited that last sentence for you for in the interest of consistency.Quote:
