Re: [DML] Re: Death of JZD Boosting Prices on GTOs and DeLoreans?

["Videobob Moseley" <videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The price increase is most likely due to new people searching for the cars 
out of curiosity and of being reminded about them with the news of JZD.
These people are not as familiar with current value's or past sales and may 
use DMCH
or D1 as a pricing platform, compared to these listed prices they think they 
are getting a bargain.
The marketplace has always determined our prices.
If we as owners, and sellers keep the price high then that will be the new 
value.
It is the internet with it's fierce competition that has lowered the price.
One guy gets desperate and lowers the price, the other guy must compete.
