This sample has been on the market for a very long time . . . at least six or eight months, maybe as long as 18 to 24 months. seller had it listed on eBay many times, with an opening price (or maybe BuyItNow) of $15,000. This became something of a joke, on this forum.

Several months ago, the seller reduced this $15,000 price, into the range that he currently asks, but it appears that there have been no takers, even at this lower level.

All of this brings me to the point that I have made many times before, "Don't confuse scarcity for value." Yes, these are super rare, but so what? Most people want their Monacos to be blue, as in the "McQueen" Monaco; currently, a really nice blue Monaco might be expected to sell in this $9,000 range; seller should expect this gray one to sell at some real discount to the current price of the "McQueens", regardless of its scarcity. When the seller understands this, he may be more successful in selling it. Of course, his approach might suggest that he is not really trying to sell it . . . or perhaps he is trying to get lucky, with a buyer who is not familiar with market prices (or who doesn't care about these market prices).
