He is dreaming take 2

[motec 6.9]

Hi guys this dreamer is back after talking about him before and not being able to get $149990 for a VL Commodore he has re listed and changed the 1 to a 2 and now listed at $249990 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1987-Hol...-/150478888916?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item23093d9fd4 and $199990 for this 1 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1988-Hol...-/150478876844?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item23093d70ac

It's not the price I object to. Some mug may pay it. No, it's the poor spelling and his inability to distinguish between "where" and "were" that make me suspect some issues....

He'll get his money

Personally, I can't see how anyone in their right mind would want to pay that sort of money for either of those cars. Just consider that you could buy the latest HDT 'Hotrod' for say about $100K. (and what a car it is), that would make it say half price for the new car.

Switch over to Mercedes and 6.9. The big 'S' class is probably about $350K., so using the same ratio as on the Holdens, the 6.9 should be worth about $700K. Well, I guess I'm dreaming, aren't I ? Just my opinion. Regards Styria.

It's all a case of 'supply and demand'.

In these two instances, there is a demand and not enough supply, hence the (old) telephone number prices.

Hi Michel in this case he is a dealer but he was not able to sell these cars earlier for $149990 and $129990 so a couple of months later re list them at $100000 and $70000 above there ealier price i dont think so . Not when all Australian Muscle car prices are in decline . Case in point the Classic Throttle shop has been dropping the price on the holy grail a XY GT http://www.classicthrottleshop.com/car8.html the price has dropped over $40000 in the last couple of months

It's also the case that our economy is one sick puppy at the moment. if it weren't for the mining sector we would be officially in recession.
Most of us are hanging on to our money and not spending - and possibly, the balanced buget next month will make matters worse as it will fail to stimulate aggreggate demand. Yes, I am un-ashamedly a Keynsian economist....

No: non-hoarder. I advocate targetted spending to increase aggregate demand.

Hi Brian only joking Geoff

I am all for aggregate demand - without you'd have no concrete. What does it mean ? Regards Styria

 

[motec 6.9]

Hi Styria it is total demand for final services in the economy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aggregate_demand

 

[Michel]

We've talked about lots of different things on this forum...

But I never thought we would be discussing economics, let alone the Keynesian and Neoclassical theories...

I never cease to be amazed

That is certainly not a Punchbowl accent (if there is such a thing) and the backdrop looks more like the Shire or Noth Shore. It seems to me to be a set-up to mock the good people of Punchbowl - and if so, it certainly does not get out of the gutter.
(Now you see why Styria says I'm a grump sod? )

Punchy has changed a fair bit over the years, the first time I visited it was mainly Italian and some Greek, the last time it was largely Asian.

Trent is a fabrication, a conglomeration of Westies, Houso's and tweakers but funny none the less.

The last time I went to Sydney I flew in and caught the train to Blackheath and got a good sample of humanity on the way, I have to say they are definitely different to Melbournians.

Punchbowl is mainly Christian Lebanese with a minority of Asians...

Hi Geoff, you went to Blackheath ? How long ago ? We visited the place only just last weekend and I was utterly amazed at the atmosphere prevailing - very much lay back, but really with it in Balmain style - your share of yuppies, mostly well to do, nice pub with good food - it was quite an eye opener. Sould put some pictures up - not that I took that many. Lemme see what I can do. Regards Styria

Why Yes Bob I did!

I actually went a ways out of Blackheath to see a man about a dog, it is fantastic country and I nearly bought a place up the road in the Bathurst direction.

I must say the public transport is good out of the Sydney CBD and the train station's at the airport is an idea we all should adopt.
