    You don't need to look at only the dealers' cars to see overpriced vehicles. There seems to be enough of them that show up right here. I think that is because, as you state, that "the rest of the population prices there cars along the dealer prices because that's the first thing they see when they go to the web for comparisons" or there are people selling cars on this site that THINK they are dealers. Check out some of the vehicles that have responses of BTT.

    You stated the Estate wagon has a V8 but Mr DePouli says the 53 was still a straight 8. Being as 53 was the last wood wagon something isn't quite right.

    The kid also stated he wasn't sure about the year of this car as well as the others. Give him a break. Once he posts photos, maybe the experts will help ID them so everyone knows exactly what they are.

    "The Caddy will be heading to Auburn and there is no intention of bringing it back. $18,000 OBO. "

    and it went to Hershey and now is on ebay ...

    it the market really that soft for this kind of car?

    Is the market soft? I'll be the first to admit that I don't know a whole lot about '37 Cadillacs & their value. I do know that when a car is offered at several venues & the reult is no sale, then it usually indicates it is overpriced. If it was a really good deal, wouldn't somebody have snatched it up already?

    There are tons of "fishing" or trolling posts on this site where the original poster provides few if any details and never pictures. Generally, people fall all over themselves trying to be helpful (which is a credit to their souls). Sometimes, the original poster just isn't up to internet speed but mostly I find them annoying. If people can't provide some pictures and details we should not bother with responses.

    This thread is a classic example of a troll post.

    I have PM'd her & we have traded a few emails. She said it would be a couple weeks to assemble a list with price, description, condition, & photos.

    There was a '59 Buick for sale a while ago on here. Same car as my uncle's. It was an estate & the poster had to get things in the estate organized. Even posted pix. I wanted to buy it as seen in the pix. Haven't heard back in 2 or 3 months.

    On the other hand, I posted quite a ways back about someone I ran into that was selling some of his cars (early Fords). In talking with him, he stated that he had others he'd sell if the price was right. One was a Duesenberg. I posted asking if it was ok to get a finder's fee if I could connect a prospective buyer to the seller. From the answers I got, I can see where a newbie would get the impression that there are a bunch of wiseass, sarcastic a--holes on this sight. If you don't believe me, go back & read the posts about the Buick that Lebowski posted 3 or so months ago. I realize that a site like this has some genuine experts & authorities on certain cars, but they may not be & probably aren't experts on EVERY car. To you REAL experts, I apologize if you take offense at my post. To the others who have a little knowledge & THINK they are experts, lighten up. You may be scaring away someone who just may have a little interest in preserving & enjoying these cars.
