I thought there were quite a few moon shots yet the z16 Chevelle seemed fair but no expert on their value. Prices are up overall!

Apple Krate $12,000

And each and every one of them is a Chinese repro.

If anyone would like one, I would be happy to sell you mine, as we have at least one of each, N.O.S. for half of these bid prices.

I am of course, j/k.

My Son commented that if we were to extrapolate these prices to what we have in our personal collection, the value would be well in excess of $1,000,000.00.

Why would anyone buy repop Bikes for that kind of money?

I had a few car buddies....leave early in disappointment, as the prices were just silly stupid.

Because the listing states "original frames with new parts" Don't know or care if that's correct but if Bob is correct which I am sure that he is then the buyers will not be happy.

Actually Coaster Krates are pretty cool and quite rare, but the point is these are Chinese Repro's, most made in 1999-2000.

They are great "riders" but by no means valuable collectors items. The only real "Limited Edition" was the 1999 Grape, which they made 600, I believe.

The Road Art pieces were mostly Taiwan made or just common mass produced as well.
Can't believe what those hallow empty gas station pumps sold for.

IMO there's something fishy going on here at this auction, prices of some of these cars were bringing more than double of what the cars were actually worth. Examples:

1979 Z28 44K
1969 Z28 non cross ram 143K
1969 Trans Am 165K
1969 GTO Judge 181.5 K
1966 GTO 165K
1974 Corvette 44K
1975 Corvette 49.5 K 74 to the end of the C3 were some of the worst Corvettes ever made
All of the El Caminos

Many of the cars I looked at in pictures were poorly detailed and had incorrect parts and if I were able to be there in person I'm sure I would have been even more disappointed. Both 70 Camaros had the wrong steering wheel which is a pretty big detail since 70 had a 1 year only steering wheel.

I just don't understand what went on down there because quite a number of those cars sold for for way more than they were worth. Sure, some of them were very nice cars and brought all the money but many brought way more than they should have.

Anybody else have any thoughts?
