Default Is it Just Me or people asking some Ridiculous Prices???

Ive been seeing a bunch of 40-50k F bod's on here and Im just wondering if im crazy or if these people have a little to much pride???

this guy has a 04 Vette Convert with a d1 procharger and some other **** but c'mon 79k thats a litttle over the top...

i really like the line "Over $100000 invested and countless hours of research and development"

Some people refuse to take a loss on their hobby, they think their spare time is worth $80/hr, and they also think that if they list high, they can negotiate down, but the rediculous price mostly turns off serious buyers who won't even bother negotiating. Listing a car for an outrageous price is one thing, actually finding someone to pay it is another. Just another symptom of Barrett-Jackson fever. I'm suprised nobody has tried to drop a hemi in an F-bod and call it a "hemi-recreation", should be worth at least $150,000.

That's the problem with a lot of people. They fail to realize that modding a car is a hobby, not an investment. Restoring a car is different. Usually that is an investment if done correctly and intelligently.
