I made that thread last time this happened. And all the people who wanted to discuss/argue their point disappeared. Then it happened again in the next for sale thread. I definitely helped exacerbate that problem, but didn't start it. Not any more. The other thread isn't going anywhere and I will keep my opinion about valuations there.

And I have PM'd three different people over the couple years I've been here about where they had items priced, based on what I had recently paid and what some other identical items were listed for other places. Drastically different reactions. One person who wasn't a regular and one who was both responded graciously. The third, who was a regular was absolutely obnoxious. Oh well.

Corvette did a good job at marketing this car back in the nineties ( Fastest car in the world) Sometimes I think they should have listened to what worked in the 60s early 70s,just put a big block in it with a high rise hood....What would have been wrong with an all aluminum 427 produced by Chevy?
Responding to both of these in the valuation thread as to not muck up this thread.
