I watched with interest an on-line auction completed today for a set of 8 Hi-Levels that included the very rare Transition car. The bidding was robust up until the GGD announcement was made the other day and after that it seemed like an anchor had been thrown out. The high bid before this announcement was $ 1,825.00 and it did not move again. The bidding ended today with the reserve not being met. Normally, the last few minutes of an auction determines a winning bid, but today, nothing.
It sure seems to me that the GGD announcement was a huge factor in this particular auction as informed potential buyers recognized they now have a choice. That is not to say that the bottom will fall out in terms of the value of the K-Line Hi-Levels as they are beautiful cars with an extremely nice exterior finish, but the unbelievable high prices they have been fetching over the past several months/years may be somewhat moderated.
Is my thinking solid here?
