What have you bought/ sold your 914 for? Options

[wbgoggans]

We’ve all seen the recent 914’s on bring a trailer big numbers, but has the private market adjusted to these new numbers? Please reply with a photo, and other important info that would effect the value of your car.

Am I the only one who's not happy with the increase in prices? Just like Adam said, early 911' went ballistic and all the rest followed. Now, even 912 project cars are mid $20's. Maybe if I owned a ton of cars it would be good but most of us are car buyers, not sellers.

Yeah, that would be cool!

My point was more cautionary, people see pricing going up and start buying up everything, trying to corner the market, but it can backfire. I've been to many a guy's place where he has a mountain of something, and is pissed off about it. So yes, 914's are going up, but please don't grab all the $500 craigslist specials thinking you're gonna retire.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding? I fully get that you work hard and run a successful business and for that, you are my hero. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif)

I just don't get a post about not hoarding 914's but there is the picture of the 356's. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

The point I was making was that while 914 prices are increasing, especially for the really nice ones and really rare ones like 914/6's and Bumblebee's, etc. it doesn't mean that all the 914's will increase proportionally. People tend to follow trends in Porsche world and thinking the 914 is going to be the next 356 could be dangerous for someone, if they went out and spent a couple of years picking up low end cars, filling their yard, and draining their bank account. People will buy a rough 356 all day every day, so it makes sense to drag them from all across the country. But 914's aren't there yet. I was hoping to caution people from getting the fever, the buying fever.
For example, when I did this deal, I dragged back the 356's but not the 914's. It costs the same amount to get them home, but absorbing $500-1000 in shipping costs is going to suck out any profit you would make on 914's like these, but the 356's can absorb these kind of costs.

Sincerely appreciate the clarification and the words of advice. I think your assessment is correct.

But . . . I also could have bought Bitcoin when it was $0.05 . . . . but didn't. Checked it yesterday, its at $19K+ (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

But. . . .What if 914's DO become the next 356. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Good thing the lack of space to put them keeps my Keynesian Animal Spirits in check.
