Default Seeing a handful of 928s for sale.

Is this common or is it do to the times? I have not monitored it so close as now.

Luxury items of all kinds are increasingly up for sale.

In Russia, the formerly-wealthy are pawning the family jewels.

A few years ago....
When I wanted a "general value" of the 86.5 before I bought it - I checked fleabay and other automotive sales sights. I found 35+ 928's of different varieties for sale on fleabay, and many on the other sights. After checking like cars and finding them at higher prices, I bought mine.
The prices are higher now for one with the same mileage mine had when I bought it, but I have had the enjoyment of driving my car while the price dropped as the mileage increased. As we watch these cars gain in mileage, they drop in price - any car will.....
I do have a computer base of 928's for sale, it's kind of like a hobby.
There are LESS for sale today then there were 5 years ago and the values are actually increasing if you don't drive them. As I don't buy 928's as an investment - I will continue to watch my price drop
I'm going to see just how fast the GTS will lose value when I get it too...

I don't care how bad it gets, I'm never selling.

Russian Rocky Mountain Oysters.

Don't sound too appetizing.

Thanks for clarifying that, I was terribly confused.
