I bet that buyer is sick when he finds all the ones that sold over the last month for 12-15 bucks.

Who should give him the links?

I overpaid for a few cars when I first started collecting, and it does make you sick to find out later how much cheaper it could have been found. I figure I've overpaid for about a third of my collection before I wised up.

This hobby can teach you some expensive lessons

Yeah I think we all overpaid when it speaks about collecting.
Like you VideoJimmy, probably a third of mine were overpaid.
But never outrageously as this guy has done, even when I was starting to collect and was a novice.

AMX, thanks for the link, it's so funny to see the guy pays 10 times more.
What seems slightly strange is that this buyer (workhardplayhard) is normally wiser, as it seems to collect too and he's sometimes following/bidding on same objects as I do, and in correct price ranges.
But anyway, he was maybe needing only this car to finish is whole JL collection, who knows...or he's plain stupid LOL
