I had always hoped that the old car hobby would some day again revert to a hobby interest only. Several times I think when the stock market looked shaky in times not that long ago. Money was speculated in the old car market.

Though as you have observed maybe not as much currently. . We have a couple of professional regional guys that transport their changing inventory to different major sales and play all kinds of games to get the prices up.

I have even wondered if certain auction houses encourage what they do and have some under the table arrangements if their cars are sold to their friends accidentally.

The market has not been logical in my opinion for many years anyways.
