That is very true. I would negotiate with the guy with the protecto plate, splitting the difference in the value gain.

I would pitch the after tax gain down the road of $10K, play up you have a tax liability for a gain at an auction. Get the guy down to ~1/3 split considering you got the car, he has the doc. I can see getting this protecto plate for $3K in cash, especially since he posted very nice pics on ebay, which hurt is negotiating position some.
