Being a avid ebay watcher and fastlane reader I am noticing a trend or natural leveling of the prices of the muscle car range. I remeber when a hk bathurst was $5500.00 and and i once saw my own brother swap a bathurst monaro and cash for a brand new JB Camira. Who had the better deal now. I have watched some amazing prices paid for items on ebay and wonder whether they are just run up or some one with not alot of knowledge has paid too much.
Its wonderful to see someones old monaro bring them $160,000.00 plus but have these days gone. With the way the econonmy has gone i have noticed a decline in the prices of the classic muscle cars. Even items sold relisted time and time again.
I feel sorry for those who have re mortgaged their homes to buy a muscle car at top dollar and then watch them slip down in price. will they ever make a return on the investment?

I cant believe what ebay has done to the swap meets. I picked up a hubcap for a hk gts with gutter rash and asked the price. $165.00... i commented i did not want the whole set, He said it was just for the one and he would get that on ebay. My return comment was..dont bring it to a swap meet if you are selling it on ebay. swap meets used to be a great place to pick up a decent priced spare. Now I just see them as a place to catch up with people you know lol.

My monaros are worth nothing..As they are not for sale. I bought them before the hype began and because i wanted one for as long as i remember.
I am am just interested in the the forums general feelings on how the pricing has gone over the last two years for monaro's and spares.
everyones comments are welcome as this up and down etc is truely amazing.

Supply and demand,once investors get involved its time for hobbists to stand back and wait until people can find a better investment.Prices will never go back to 1990 level but there will be more cars available so prices will be cheaper. Notice that secon

Just want to put my 2 bobs worth in.... for what its worth

firstly ebay is a means to an end for buyer and seller alike...

ebay is just one big swap meet.... sure it doesnt have the fun of scrounging around in the dirt and eating overpriced dodgy ba

I reckon good cars with matching numbers will always sell Ok, but its the peripheral stuff like questionable cars that people arent prepared to gamble on.

I went to a blokes place the other day to pick up some torana bumpers and he had an amazing yard

hainzy, you are right on the money when say good stuff will always sell, regardless what is is, cars, property, women, anything.

Being in the business of sourcing/selling/placing cars of the late 60s and mid 70s both for other dealers and private peopl

Before everyone gets carried away with the rise and rise of ebay and all that its not good for, because there are plenty of people who will argue the the online bidding game is just a sham.

I sell on Ebay but I will keep on topic... Its worth what someone is willing to pay.

Aussie "Muscle car" prices were always too low until investors woke up to the rarity of some of our home grown beauties.

I hope my post has open the eyes of some investors who think that the high return is in selling cars. I am seeing the slide in prices affect so many people. So many cars are for sale now but are back to a level and realistic price as I have stated before.
