prices on vintage sleds!
Man the prices on vintage sleds is going NUT'S!!
Seriously, I went to look at an 87 VMAX which was in probably a 6 condition on the 1-10 scale and only had enough parts to run and move, so it was missing some things (air box, windshield, original skis, etc...) and the price tag was $1450...I figured I'd take a look anyway b/c from the pictures it looked like it could turn into something pretty nice, and apparently I wasn't the only one interested and it sold before I could get there to see it, and for full price!!! I don't know about you guys but for a sled in that kind of condition I was surprised by the asking price and especially for the sale price...
Sleds:
2007 Yamaha Apex RTX
2 - 1981 Yamaha SRX 440's

Prices all depend on what someone is willing to pay. Location, time of the year, availability or perceived rareness (81 SRX) and condition all play a role. Condition is something that IMO sellers way way over estimate.

It's called "Popularity", nothing new, not even to vintage sleds.
Bottom line is, "if it's popular it will demand a higher price to aquire. If the same (popular item) is in short supply, hold onto your shorts$$$$$
If you demand inexpensive, be unpopular.
