Yes. This is true. When I price my vehicles to sale, it’s with this in mind. I also have two different pricing systems: eBay prices and Joe collector prices. I give bigger deals to Joe collectors. I don’t sell on CL because even at a fair price, some people want something for nothing. If I restore a vehicle I pay $10 for bit needs parts, clean-up and restoration that runs $10 more, I will list the vehicle at $25. It’s a small margin but not a lot. Some CL buyers however will over half of that and seem offended if you decline. 80’s Joes are seeing a sharp increase in value and as buyers and sellers on any medium, we must be aware of this. In the case of my big lot pick-up, I believe in paying it forward and have listed about 10 of those vehicle after restoration on eBay below market value in the hopes someone gets a nice piece to add to their collection. But, if it’s a TD, Whale, Night Force Vehicle or similar....I’m going to get as much as possible due to the cost of parts, time spent finding them and demand.
CL can have little mini bonanzas from time to time...but for every $60 huge lot I’ve found, I have come across inomplete skystikers that the seller is asking $150 for. You just never know
