In reply to eastsideTim : I sold a few race cars but the very best I did was get dimes on the dollars.  Knowing that I hung onto the ones that really meant something to me until too late. Then I wrote off the over 3000 hours I’d spent and accepted 50 cents on the dollar for new stuff, 

10 cents for rare used stuff and free for ordinary part of the car stuff.  

This was on fantastic professional collector car grade car.   

OK I took a massive hit.  However a car like I finally sold for $27,000  is still for sale at more than 4 times the price.  That’s more than a decade since.  I sold at the depths of the recession now is likely the peak. 

So if you really want it gone, sell it so cheap it hurts.  Few have your vision and no-one wants to pay market price for it.  

Just like getting rid of an unwanted wife, ya gotta give til it hurts and then give more

Damn, makes me think I should have sold my M5 for what high bid was offered on BaT.  Eh, Maybe later.

Find the tiny sliver of ground where the venn diagram overlaps, camp out there with a sleeping bag, and expect to get dirt kicked in your face.
