Lloyds Auction 15 Jul 2017 - HX Papaya Sandman

[Sandaro]

Just before everyone on here suddenly thinks theirs is worth $75k+, a cautionary note, I think its only Lloyds who have the apparent "buyers" that are willing to pay nearly double market value for cars. They sold 2 auto HT 350s in consecutive months for $300k+, whilst other auction houses could only manage $200K for similar condition actual 'Bathurst' spec manual cars. Maybe the vendor got lucky on all these sales, but I think it a coincidence that all these recent high sales are coming out of there but not at those prices at other sales.

$75k for an unregistered HX? What the hell isthis world coming to?

Way to throw away cash. Good luck getting that back any time soon!

You could build a nice one for that coin

Yeah. Thinking it's possibly a marketing exercise by the auction house to cut out the opposition.

Supply and demand I suppose, it sets the value to a degree . A lot of coin though !!

Lets see if they pay up first

I've talked to the buyer on facebook. He has a few Monaros and wanted a Sandman, says he's happy with the price, says it's worth every cent.
He's in Qld and the van is being shipped up to him.
I for one am pretty impressed that someone would pay that much, but then again, less than two years ago a lot of people thought I paid too much for my HZ Sandman..... I don't look so silly now.

[Sandaro]

Did he but the Monaros from Lloyds too?

BTW, I never thought you were silly Rob, I thought the money was pretty right for the quality of resto for your van

[Big Rob]

He already owned the Monaros.... I don't know for how long.
And I wasn't refering to anyone on this forum, most on here know what it takes to restore one and are aware of the real value, but there are a lot of people that think you can still buy a good Holden for peanuts.... I was told the other day that I was stupid paying 2 grand for my ute!.... I reckon I stole it for that.

....Opinions.....
