The Mecum Effect...Part of the Problem...or Part of the Solution???

Yeah, but at least those cars are still around. If those guys didn't overpay and convince the previous owner to sell, those cars would have just rotted into the ground or the local government would have had them towed off and crushed. Prices are a two edged sword. Too cheap and the stuff gets thrown away. Too high and most can't afford to own one. Somewhere in the middle is fine with me.
