Tool kit insanity?
« on: June 23, 2023, 23:48:53 »
Im thinking of selling my Pagoda and am considering a 7 day auction on Bring A Trailer (BAT).
While perusing W113 auction history I see that a tool roll sold for North of $3000, and it seems to be missing an open end wrench. Am I the only one that thinks this is crazy?

*sigh*

Again, when referencing a car/auction/whatever, INCLUDE THE LINK TO IT!

Sheesh, sorry for being too lazy to go find what you're talking about, but since the OP was already there...

Thanks for the suggestion, Vander and John.
I haven't made up my mind about selling "Scarlet" but I'm inclining that way. If I do decide to sell I want it exposed to the largest possible audience. Truly let the market decide value. The SL113 community is comparatively smaller and most members already have their Pagoda.
Having said that, I would provide a link to the auction if permitted.

Thanks
Gus
