Price Gains

This is the answer from between Oct to Dec 2015 according to Hagerty's who compile price guides for insurance companies, as seen in Classic Car Weekley

Pretty big gain for a 2 month period at that time of year?! Suspect it's just due to timings of auctions and the guides catching up with that the market is doing.

Good job we don't have any of the gold plated D's then eh!

I knew you'd pick up on that one Ju....

In 2006 when I bought my De, gold closed at $635/oz.
At the end of 2015 it was just under $1100/oz
That's around 90% increase over the 9 years.

Whereas my De has returned about a 400% increase in the same 9 years

Just in case Adminbloke reads this thread....

Coal in 2006 was $53/metric tonne, at end of 2015 it was $56/metric tonne. An increase in 9 years of only 6%
Got to keep them northerners in check and down pit

And I thought the streets were paved with gold down South. ..

Really? Taking into account real world costs to owning that portfolio?
Insurance, maintenance, storage costs, inflation of purchase price?
Would be interesting to see actual potential profit over those 9 years.


I obviously bought mine a lot later than you (after a lot of price inflation had already occurred) but with all costs and repairs against possible sale price, I reckon I'm about even, which is fine as it has been fun owning the coolest car ever made!!
