I have another point of view and this doesn't just go for the ZX-S nib kits either. More so- what did this ZX-S cost the seller? Its funny how he made $1000 bucks off it from ebay but did he go back to the collector guy he bought it from and offer him a farer market value or did he infact make a killing?? I wonder?
Its interesting how Welshy was put in the firing line for a price that wasn't as high as what it went for. Even if Welshy had offered this guy well under what it was worth and Welshy could have walked away with a great deal, whats the diference between this and the previous transaction in which this kit was obtained?
My point. Simple, its funny how people masquarade as collectors or enthusiast then the next minute they are out flogging a kit the seller said he'd like to hold on to.
So what profit was made on this kit anyways? Dare to share |
Well Bormac, dare to share...
You are presuming things here, i dont like that.
I can say that the seller was very informed about the price of theese kits, he had full control and he bought it for a pretty high price himself a while ago.
I am a gentleman and a true gentleman dont discuss money, but i can say far less than you think.
In this case i bought a car that is rare and i liked to keep, but by some reason i needed to sell.
And the silly stuff:
A true collector or enthusiast also sell stuff, i have done some great deals (and more not so great) thru the years, some scorchers and other classic cars, bought cheap and sell on ebay, well am i doing something wrong? I can also say that my salary dont finance everything i want so if i find a car i can sell with profit it´s up to me, but often i spend it on my racecars, so dont tell me that i´m not an enthusiast.
