The owner could have gone down to the local library and googled COPO Chevelle and gotten his answer on a selling price in 60 seconds. This BS is amazing to me.

I'm gonna win the lottery tonight and give Marathon guy his 225K and then pay Rick Nelson another six figures to restore it for me. Then I'm gonna have an awesome car that is worth 100K more than it is worth. CUZ I LOVE THIS CAR! Then i'm gonna buy a black stripe delete '70 LS6 Chevelle to stick right next to it in my garage and piss myself every morning when I go out in my man cave! What an evil capitalist I am.

Exact tactic I took last month with the IROC-Z at Cincinnati because I had guys continually bugging me for a price to sell the car. So I told them "ZL-1 money" and that finally had a calming effect and I could enjoy the show.

This would not even be a topic without the impact of social media.

It is not the sale that gets people's emotions up, it is the grandstanding that does it after the sale, because in the end there will be someone (or several someones) who will likely feel that the grapes were "sour", and as soon as that conversation starts relationships fracture.

Sadly it happens over and over.

Yes it used to be considered rude to discuss what you paid for something because prior to social media in order to cross that social boundary you had to do it face to face.

The keyboard gives and takes. Often it takes - and that is sad.
