Re: [DML] Trying to capitalize on JZD's passing?

[Patrick Conlon <PRC1216@xxxxxxx>]

I'm sick of people trying to capitalize on John's death, with 
everything from his autograph on eBay to people trying to get 
outrageous sums of money for the car.  Especially articles saying the 
value of the DeLorean is "skyrocketing" and what a great "investment" 
it would be.  Honestly, I could care less if my car gains value or 
loses it, because I never plan on selling it.  I plan on driving it as 
long as I can, and honestly I look forward to refurbishing it again 10 
or 15 years down the road once it has a little more wear and tear on 
it, which is inevitable for a daily driver.  As the value increases, 
more and more car collectors will buy the cars to stash in a corner of 
their garage, hoping to sell the D in a few years for a quick profit.  
The cars will probably sit neglected, with the usual problems we are 
familiar with forming.  I would rather see the cars have a reasonable 
price, so the people who love them and intend on driving them can 
afford to do so.  As the value goes up, so will insurance, and I am 
sure parts probably will over the course of time as well.  Also, a 
random question, I noticed DMCH's car is $37,500 now.  Was this raised 
from $35,000 before or after JZD's death?

Just my $.02 on the whole "value" situation.
