I've spent a lot today - but nowhere near the actual values. On paper, I've made solid money today - even without waiting. In some cases, I've spent well into six figures below the actual value.
Awesome.
I still have some cars coming up that I'm interested in.
But, I gotta tell you, I'm pretty much auctioned-the-fuck-out... I will be glad when it ends on Sunday.
After this, I'll never buy more than 5 cars at an auction again. Well, in that area... Maybe one or two more. ;-) It depends on what I sell.
Unlike my guitars, I'll sell the cars. At the right price, I'd sell pretty much every car I own. There's a few that I'm emotionally attached to, and a few that I can't replace - and really like - without spending a lot more than what I paid.
To think...
This all started because I was in a wreck in 2018... I already had a small (to me) car collection back then. I had 23 or 24 road-legal cars and one 'barn'.
After the wreck, I realized how close death was. That was my motivation to move money from assets that appreciate to assets that I appreciate.
Had it not been for the accident, I'd probably have like 30 cars by now.
That damned lawyer!!!
You should be able to enjoy the fruits of your life.
Enjoy the hell out of them.
If I had the opportunity to purchase cars like that with a wad of money to get whatever car I wanted. I would probably get a super low mile example of the choice I made and drive the fuck out of it
