Re: Looking for a cheap(er) 93 Ty
Ok, for those who dont talk to me in chat or know my hate for 92s.
OK. I am NOT trying to "hook up" Adam. He's a friend. This should probably be in a PM to him, but because this is now "in the open", I'll post here. If he can post his opinion openly, I can too.
My observations in the FS section have been that the 92s and 93 are priced according to condition and content (specifically color and mods), and not on their desirability depending on which year it is. I haven't seen any tendency to price 93s higher because of the year.
Adam's rant regarding "92s are shit" is counterproductive to his desire to buy a 93 for cheap. He obviously thinks 93s are better, so he must be willing to pay more for a 93 with otherwise identical 'value' than a 92. So anyone with a 93 that is for sale should be able to extract a "premium" in price from him. If your contacted by him regarding the purchase of your 93, double the price. He has been very vocal in his desire to own a 93 over a 92, this implies he'll pay much more for a 93, so let him do so.
Some of us own darn nice 92s. And some of us are
actively trying to sell our 92s for a fair price, (in our opinion). We're a small community, and the 92-bashing by "SyTy King Pins" is getting old. I feel it is detrimental to opinion regarding what the value of our 92s is in the eye of a potential buyer, as the potential buyer will weigh the 'anti-92 sentiment' into what he perceives the value of the deal to be.
I accept there may be a value / price difference between the years because of 'desirability'. But I'm not comfortable sitting by idly and watching the value of my 92 be influenced by prominent members (thinking it's "all in fun") when I am actively trying to sell a very nice 92.
Let's keep it in the Chat Room, Adam.
