TONIGHT! B-J Auction
A good friend of mine stopped by yesterday afternoon and was watching the auction for a while with me. He just couldn't wrap his head around the $300K paid for the `32 Ford Roadster that was a documented race car with history. He said NO CAR is worth that much. Now mind you, when it comes to games played with sticks and balls he's an authority and will argue long and loud over trival stats. Wanna know how I put it in perspective for him? I told him that to me, the record setting Barry Bonds home run ball is still worth the $12-15 bucks it sold for at a sporting good store. Just as he was about to rant, I stopped him and said "Welcome to MY hobby..."
People pay what people will pay. Car...baseball...winning team Jersey...painting...sculpture...whatever.
What would YOU pay for this model car kit?
Any one care to take a guess? This is an original issue AMT `65 Hurst Hemi under Glass 1/25 plastic model kit, un-built in mint condition. I scored this 3 yrs. ago after lusting for one to fill out my Hemi under Glass collection. Go ahead...take a guess.
