Check out this tandem bicycle - if you look you can see that the man steers from the back seat. The woman sits up front and looks pretty.

Sold for $650.

Good prices, indeed. Glad I didn't waste my time going up there...

The Mini's were well-sold, imo. Ditto the 4 Passat TDI wagons.

The 308 sold for $8050. The Lambo, $6900. The previously mentioned Shrike, $28,750. A Jensen Healey - $3335.

1990 Miata - $6440 ???

OMG, that's gotta be my rich alter-ego.

Did anyone on here actually go to this?

I wanted to, but I'm really glad I didn't. I would have bought way too much stuff, then wondered how the hell I was going to get it home.

One of the MINI guys from my area drove up, but came home empty handed. I think he looked at the Mini pics and thought the cars would sell for cheap. They didn't.

IMHO, the TDI's sold for way too much for cars without service records. I'd buy those assuming I'd have to drop a $K in parts the moment I got it home. Still, B4 TDI wagons have a following and a good one will still fetch a decent price.

So I see the GTX's and go "Huh, wonder if there's any GT's there." GTX's went for $5-6k each. GT (which I'm GUESSING is an even more rare car) went for $288.

Not all of the GTX's sold high. As a matter of fact there only appears to be two that sold for around $4k, and the rest were under $1k. There was quite a few GTX's there, and not all of them were selling high.

I saw quite a few things I could have spent money on, doubt I could have outbid another serious buyer but it would have been tempting.

Most of the first page looked like they were once mine...

Very cool story.

WOW. There's some serious flounder material in there for the bootstrap types, but I'm firmly on the side of the Doc. What a noble dude.

...and to think he had that sentiment in 1991. Hard to believe Harvard Medical was 33k/yr in '91. WTF is it now???

Did anyone catch what that '30 Cadillac went for?

am I the only one who was intrigued by this:
