Earl, you are correct, many of these cars have sold via word of mouth instead of via the internet. They may, or may not, have brought more money if advertised to a wider audience. All but one of the project cars were passed over by several prospective buyers though, which indicates that there are those in the market that felt they were overpriced. Also, all but one of the project cars had an actual sale price lower than the original asking price, (this lone example was not the lowest priced car either, it just had excellent originality and full paperwork). Generally, the lower the asking price, the less difference vs the actual sell price = the original asking price was fairly accurate. There are some cars in my 'Top 10' category that were for sale in the $45-$50k range, and 3 different people have walked away from them. It is difficult to guage the market value by only considering those cars that sell in the public arena, it is usually quite different vs the private arena. I agree with your values for those cars sold publicly, but I'm including all sales, and those are the numbers that get used in the avge calculation.

Kevin Hand just sold a whole bunch of cars privately, but I don't know if he would have received a higher price if they were nationally advertised or not. However, you make a valid point.
