Re: [DML] Gold Delorean

["cbl1739" <cbl302@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was basing it on about/around the figure the guy with the last Vin/Gold plated Delorean was asking for his...since his was(still is??)on the market...whether he gets more or way less....the market has to show that...but the asking price was in that general area.
