Keep in mind alot of restoration shops would be out of business if the values dropped a bunch.

Too high car prices… too high restoration prices. Vicious cycle. People will pay the high restoration prices hoping for a super high return at the auctions. The casual layman can’t afford the restoration prices so the market has turned into the wealthy owning the market.

Is that necessarily a bad thing?

The remaining shops would crank up their prices.

What a horrible comment! Most "GOOD" restoration shops are doing great work at a fair price, and turn out a beautiful car for someone who lacks the talent to do so for themselves. Ask any shop owner, they are NOT getting wealthy. Some guys chase the dragon month to month to keep the place going.

I cannot be believe that a car person, on a site like the Super Car Registry, would even think about the comment you made, much less blurting it out in writing on the site.

Furthermore, I can't believe I'm the only person who called you out on it.
