I'd say that was a great investment!!!
A friend of mine sold his all-original AAR 'Cuda in the mid-90s for $1500. The only time I knew it had been up for sale was when he told me he sold it. He bought it brand new when he came home from Viet Nam - it had sat in his garage for probably 10 years.
All I could say was he should have researched its value just a little bit. I did forgive him for not telling me it was for sale - but it took awhile.
