not for insurance purposes, he actually had a school in Rhode Island offer him 12,000 for it, and he told them he would loan it to them instead of selling it. He's always wanted one but never thought he'd be able to afford one. So the school is giving him a couple bucks a year for it, and he doesn't have to store it in his apartment so it's a win win for all involved.

good for him, that sounds like a MAJOR Win. I;ve always looked at that stuff like Gold mining..weeks ans weeks or labor, for a little glittery dust, and when you add it all up you were working for 0.30$ a day.

Yeah it was a major score for him. The lady said, after they finished their phone conversation, she hung up and someone was calling for it right after him so he literally made it by seconds.

 

Though the lady asked for two hundred dollars more after she found out she could of just said no, I'll take the 8k that some other guy offered me so she was really cool about it. Her husband on the other hand wasn't too thrilled but they were both honest about it.

had a buddy of mine score a GTO that way..Son bought it, went off to Vietnam, and never came back. Father kept the car up, Blocked it, started and ran the engine every few weeks, kept it covered. Father passes, Mother in her 80's wants to get rid of it, and the guy I know offered her sight unseen like $1500 for it over the phone from the classified ad. He actually doubled his Own price when he saw it and would have given her more but she refused it. he had it for about a year and sold it off to a collector for, well, enough to buy him the modern equivalent.

about the only Honest one is the crazy old guy with the glasses

 

He's also the only one that "seems" to ever get skunked...

I would argue there is no modern equivalent - but that's me...
