Pricing
I came across a 69 gmc swb down the strew from me today for sale and snapped a few pics. Why does it seem no matter how much rust they have, running or not, they sell for $2,500 give or take?

Re: Pricing

Re: Pricing
My dad once told me, it's only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. I'd be surprised if he gets close to 2500 for it, but you never know.

Re: Pricing
I saw that truck, Talked to a guy who stopped and looked at it and he said it had a ton of rust and a 6 banger with 3 on the tree. he did say it started right up though.

Re: Pricing
I think most people think of a truck as a utility vehicle and 2500 bucks seems like reasonable price for a running driving truck you can use for going to the dump and such. Plus you gotta start somewhere with price and going up is never an option =)

Re: Pricing
$2500 eh? I'm hard pressed to find them for less than $6k here. I decided to go with a long bed for $800 instead.
I couldn't justify paying more for less truck. |

I meant to type a 'LOT OF' rust, not a 'LOST IF' rust, from last post
