Ferrari Mailing List: Re: 1994 512TR sells for $143k at RM/Amelia

[Michael James (cavallino_rapante]

You ever notice that these auction catalogs are written for people who may/probably know absolutely nothing about the car or the marque offered?  Each listing somes with a "wikipedia history lesson" that explains why you should buy THIS car at THIS price?  That should tell you all you need to know about guys who spend money on cars at auctions - some of these clowns would pay $180,000 for a 308 if you put a mountain of hype behind the car and got them to believe that a particular car was a "collectors item".....and I'm not talking about a SEFAC/Micholotto Rally racer, either.  I'm talking about the dog in our garage that needs new fuel lines and shock bushings.  What a business model they have going.

 

I can't believe 'educated' buyers dump money into the auction system unless they REALLY care more about getting the car than they do about what they're spending.

Clyde, your kind of price (as a seller/owner).  Unbelievable, even if it is in fact perfect and only has 13k miles.  Maybe I'll repaint mine black.  Larry
