Wow. Big jump today Rob. I hope you have now broken even.

Just about. I'm sorry to see the X go, but I'm glad I'm coming out whole.

Way to go,Rob.

Congrats Rob. Now you know you can't get hurt too bad in the collector car market if you know what you are buying.

Maybe, but the main reason I was able to come out whole was because I was able to buy the car relatively cheaply from the estate. The widow wanted to sell it as much as I wanted to buy it. If I had paid much more, I doubt that I'd have come out even.

I do think that you can do ok in the collector market, but you really have to know what you're doing and be able to buy the car cheaply.
