I think it's just a sign of the times. Have you seen the muscle cars
going for over $1-million at action? That seems a little outrageous
too! Especially when we paid $3,200 for a brand new 1967 Pontiac GTO.
People want these things and are willing to pay an arm and a leg for
them. The prices for things no longer produced are only going to go
up if there is a market for them.

I watched that ranger when it was first listed with a minimum starting bid of $500.

I thought it was outrageous then and I still do!

On that one auction (270110127334), looks like bidder #3 wanted it
badly...bid a number of times, topping over his previous bids while no
one else even outbid him. Bidder number 5 may have been a shill but it
was already up to $1670 when #5 popped it only $30 more. Then #3 kept
increasing it higher over his previous bid. Nope...I think the seller
got real lucky on this one.

Unless bidder #3 was the shill, and had no idea what he was doing...

I would be amazed beyond belief if the sale actually goes through and the
radio actually changes hands at that price.


Check out this Ranger 2.
