Is that actually true that an item is worth what anyone is prepared to pay?
If you look at any number of car price guides they will tell you what you would expect to pay for an example -that is effectively setting a market value for an item. Exactly the same applies to buying a can of soup at the supermarket -one for sale at 90 pence and an identical item at 1.50 -the cheaper item will set market value and to a certain degree the retailers will
work to RRP’s and the guidance of the suppliers. Obviously non sale of an item will dictate a price change.
In terms of EBAY you can ask what you like for something -without a guideline price purchasers are in the dark to something’s market value. So if someone decides to pay 1 million for a Hunter it doesn’t mean they are worth that -it means that example sold for it – the market value for a Hunter in static condition is something like 10K based on previous sales .
As for the ‘they have it -you don’t ‘ mantra – somewhat meaningless -should everyone refrain from discussing the provenance and cost of an item? It is a forum where people discuss matters pertinent to historic aviation .
Not a poke at you David a poke at lots of nasal voiced armchair valuers of items they do not own.
I understand your valuing of the Hunter based on a previous but there are people out there that cannot believe something like that is so cheap, Their Opinion of course but also not able to house such a beast.
I noted that the Shack turret was also mentioned as to high and the poster has a shed full ! sell sell sell, as then they will find a level, must admit I have not seen another for sale in years and it was £250.00, i bought it ! sold it four days later for 750 to a guy who wanted it as a garden ornament.
Oh well horses for courses, I was going to use it as a cloche but the 500 bonus was tooooo tempting.
Anyway back to ebay :rolleyes:
