Have collector car prices dropped significantly in the last couple of years???

I've been out of the game for a couple years because of work and life... before I used to be into my k10 and dart and working on them every weekend, watching barrett jackson etc and always looking at cars online etc... I had a pretty good idea on what stuff was worth and selling for but the last 2 years I don't think I looked at ebay once to check out a car... maybe a part but thats it...

2 years ago I parked my Dart outside a local car show and there was a note asking if i'd be interested in selling... I thought about it and called the guy just for giggles... long story short he was a good guy and after meeting him at a cruise he offered me 8k.. it was slightly more than i paid for it 2 years prior but of course quite a bit less than I had in it. I declined and have lost the guys number.

Fast forward to today and I post it for 8500 locally. I get a dozen responses, no one wants to look it except one guy and I get half a dozen offers for 5k... wtf? is the market really that bad right now? I've heard the Harley market is a bloodbath from some friends that sold their bikes but I assumed the Mopar was a little more solid... even for the lonely dart... CT is an economic nightmare, is it a regional thing or are you seeing this around the country?

Letgo is a joke, I've experienced that on some household stuff I've been trying to sell... they just offer half no matter how much of a low ball it is..


should have taken the 8k back then..

prices are still up and not going down in my opinion.. it all depends on condition,condition,condition.. maybe the guy that offered ya 8k just had to have that car for one reason or the other. maybe its a 5k car that you think is worth more. who knows. without details and pictures its kinda hard to tell. i can say i sold a 64 valiant convertible in about an hour yesterday. i thought it was priced right for what it was and the condition it was in and the buyer thought the same.
