It just takes 2 bidders for something to go crazy... I think everyone has certain things they would pay more than reasonable market value for. I would pay a good amount for anything from these catalogs if it has "Volkswagen Canada" printed on it: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/index.mv?photo+114408.jpg http://www.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/index.mv?photo+114410.jpg Why? Just because I want a neat "Volkswagen of Canada" display for my Canadian Squareback. Assuming I ever take it to a show. ;) A fellow VW enthusiast recently wrote this: "If I find something I want and it's priced what I feel is high, I ask myself 'when will I see one again?' the answer is usually NEVER, so I'll buy it." For unique items, I think it is worth it to pay. I just try to pick up other things at swap meets if I think they are undervalued. It all evens out in the end. -- Everett Barnes http://www.thesamba.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
