I have had an East Texas Race Cars built Comp Roadster for sale for 8 years. It is new & never been down the track. It is sitting ready for wiring & plumbing. I have about 40,000 in it(priced @ $25,000) , yet the market for them run around $15,000 or less used.
When trying to sell it seems like it always comes up "There is another one just like it for $12,000." well, not so.. it's used, not new. Most likely used very much. Then you get the guys that say "What makes your car worth so much" Look at the pictures I sent you D.A.... It is call ETRC craftmanship & quality along with all the little extras. Like a $7500 paint job. Then there is the biker guys that have a well used Harley, or a custom that will be real hard to ride. I guess almost everyone has had one of those traders. I like Harley's ,but read the ad, "No Trades". Like most traders his is worth alot & yours is not. Eveyone wants to steal it. That's the internet mind set. Guys, I hate to say it, but the problem is we are selling something people don't have to have. We are selling something they dream of or strokes their ego. I've been in the Performance engine business almost 40 years & have a collection of various "Stuff" that people wanted. Started "special projects" & just normal Hot Rod projects that get started and never finished. No telling how many jobs I have sold that weren't picked up by the person that started it. It took me quite a while to get comfortable with the fact our industry is "EGO" driven and sometimes the size of the wallet is not as big as the ego.
