yes it is a case of supply and demand but having been into Vw's since '88 i have seen these prices go stupid and if people keep paying these over inflated prices then sellers will just keep demanding them, not just this seller but all traders at shows as well, if people stopped doing this then the market would be alot better for all of us.
A prime example is the housing market, look what has happend there, people wanted houses, so demand was high, sellers up'd prices got it so more jumped on the wagon..and so on
see a connection here...
yea its nice when we sell bits and get good money, but long as you get back what u paid all's well..thats my motto..i recently sold a nos '68 only fuse box for what i paid for it 5 years ago, now i could of asked for more but why, it's not cost me anymore has it..
thats my rant for today i think..
