Someone picked up a 97 that they will store for 50+ years and sell for $150k-$250k.

Did you see what that rusty old 1956 356 sold for?

You have to realize that the folks at these actions come with the mindset of spending $500k - $3 Mil so the poor little Boxsters probably cost about the same as the weekend bar tab for these folks. Perhaps they just didn't want to leave empty handed.

Honestly the whole collecting thing is overrated. I rather have fun with things and turn them loose for others to enjoy as well when Im done with them.

Most people wont live long enough to really enjoy a collection cashout anyway.
What good is a few extra million when your really too old to even enjoy spending it.

Only thing I ever collected was stamps. Those Hitler stamps have got to be worth something now, especially since stamps are on the verge of becoming completely obsolete?
