    Cool…some recognition for Bruce Meyers and the Meyers Manx…

     

     

    In another thread, Ed mentioned the disparity in pricing between our TD replicas and the Speedsters & Spyders.

     

    Here’s another one disparity…I took a quick look through Hemmings’ ads for Meyers Manx dune buggies. Asking prices are mostly in the $10,000 to $20,000 range! For a car even less usable then a TD!

     

    Just makes no sense.

     

    But…the first person to offer $20,000 for my Duchess can driver her away! Cool

    or…..

    you could get my  award winning Daytona 1952 MiGi for a measly $19,900.  Worth every penny.

    See? This is the problem. You guys need to hold firm on your prices, otherwise you’ll be letting ’em go for $3,500 just like always.

    Ok $21,500 for mine!! I’m not ready to sell just yet and that should weed out all the tire kickers. (:

    Mine has a documented racing pedigree. Gotta make it worth more don’t you think?

    Bill: Is that picture of your feet sticking out from under your car at VA beach part of the doc set?

    Mine is a Carlisle racing cover boy so that should add about 10,000.00

    You guys can’t be serious, would you really rather buy a car that has been raced?

      

    Wouldn’t you rather have a prize winning, garage kept, been drizzled on 3 times, car that was once driven by a little old man for a leisurely “Sunday drive” around the Carlisle Autocross track?  
    Real British knock-off wheels, front disc brakes and Holley bugspray carb along with far too many options to list, thrown in.  

    I’m thinking I need to raise the reserve price on MiGi.

    I got it!

     
    We need to sell our cars to each other at ridiculously inflated prices.
     
    We keep moving the cars around until we each have our car back.
     
    This will establish not just one, but an entire series of new benchmark prices!
     
    In short order, TD replicas will be selling on the open market for $25k plus!

    Paul, I think you have something there.  Seems like something the government would come up with to help the national debt.  Did you ever thing of running for office?

    I wrote about some guys a few years ago who were doing that with houses. Three are in jail now, two on the lamb in (I hear Canada) and two more in Israel.

    Really good idea though, and maybe not a felony if we don’t involve any banks.

    Can we print up our own money, with nothing to back it up, then pay cash?  Or sell bonds to China?
    That’s how our government operates… Ouch
