Yeah, and then some!
Pretty sure even the nice auction trucks don't get bid that high in the heat of battle. At least not often anyway.
Start high, accept less I guess.

Not CL, but came across this on ebay today.

Reserve not yet met @ $9200! Yikes!

 

Prices really seem to be going up in my area over the last year. Who knows what they are actually selling for though.

We've all heard that famous P. T. Barnum quote ("There's a sucker born every minute") so we see a lot of these over-the-top offers (I'm currently in Inverness so read Ocala postings). Clearly, this isn't a show truck as Hagerty defines it. Note the paucity of description. It may not even be a 390 (360 engines magically become 390s on sale day). Sellers believe what they want or need to believe. This seller is in need of an all day sucker.
My advice is to look at Hagerty's data which is gleaned from actual auction results and keyed to condition (Concours to DD).

 

1 so so truck
1 parts truck
1 part RV
For 10,000... probably a little steep, but if you are in the Miami area it might be worth checking out.

reading that ad almost made my head explode!

 

Wall of text has never been so true.

 

Unusual.......I got the impression that the guy is trying to give a fair, no BS, description in the ad.

He thinks he struck gold because the odometer just flipped over.

 

4 barrow must be a rare hipo option

 

There's a no reserve 77 step side on ebay. Doesn't run, but might be worth it for one of you on the west coast if it goes cheaply enough.

I totally wan this one! https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto...051285885.html
F250 Short Bed Super Cab Trailer Edition!
Relatively straight, a few extra goodies and an actually realistic price, rather than some inflated dream.

If I hadn't already bought a new truck six months ago I'd buy this one instead and be way money ahead of the game.
