More like helping the 1%'ers because there's no excuse for current fuel prices .

A long time ago the gop deregulated fuel prices claiming 'supply and demand will make fuel almost free !" .

Funny how that didn't work out quite like the bootlickers hoped .

It never does, some things need to be regulated to prevent the 1% from robbing us all blind .

Amazing just how little money is worth today in general. When you have lived as long as myself.

Unfortunatly my long term memory works far too well still.

Boy howdy, you ain't kidding ! .

When I was a kid I remember the geezers telling me how much they'd get for a dime.....

It was almost free a couple years ago, so what exactly are you saying here?

Back on the original topic of MB diesels;

Just watching BaT it seems the price on these cars was never really all that stable. You'd see a 240D go for crazy money, then shortly after an almost identical car, maybe even a better one, would struggle to make half the first car's bid. Now it seems we are seeing a lot of the non-turbo 300D's coming out of the woodwork. Those have always been sort of the "low man on the 123 diesel totem pole", so the frequency of those might be making it look like the average is sliding? Just a thought.

I’m finding Parker’s , been my hobby since 2005 , average 2 a year , so it’s true to say 30 plus . We are a curious crowd for sure , I’m still intrigued, find the work is enjoyable , the search for a different color or a different option I’ve yet seen keeps the collecting fresh . I’m in Houston so the bounty was good in the beginning . Now I can say to find a fresh Parker is getting harder to find these days, it’s the reality , the herd out their has fallen substantially , many are crushed daily . Funny thing , I do get a few w123 previous owners give me a chat while out driving , they become interested in our little gang and ask about the pp site , I tell them , don’t get too close , it’s uncurable .
