[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 4970220, member: 9628"] I understand, and if your house is damaged and all items inside are a loss, your money is still safe. But that is not really where I am going with this, I am just amazed how many, many "car items" that are not worth much in the non-SVT world, are now in the SVT-world, at times, bringing crazy money. It could be a SVT Recognition Guide for well over $100, a pair of original genuine Ford 1993 Cobra Opal Gray floor mats (front only), $250-$350, a 2000 Cobra R Owners Guide Supplement (16 pages) $200+, Some of the harder to find SVT Cobra R posters (a piece of paper) $50+, this 00R Maisto toy $100+, that 93 Cobra dealership stand-up card $300......... I have noticed that 94/95 Saddle Tan Cobra floor mats (front only) are now approaching $200. and the list goes on and on................. Some of these items ^^^^^^^^along with the actual "money in the bank" is quite a nice investment don't you think? If you can double, triple, quadruple or even better some things that you have purchased (or been given free) over time, beside money itself that has been invested, isn't that a good investment? All of these items are relatively new (late model) and the "real money" is not here on the cars themselves, just think what some of this stuff will bring when the cars themselves to a significant $$$ point, and people are craving hard to find items for their SVT product. I am not saying that there is no limit to the $$$ on these items, but I am saying that these items are bringing far more than their original cost in recent times and eBay and the internet has made all of this possible. If you buy a stock share for $30 and sell it for $90, or bought for $10 and sold for $25, you would consider it to have been a good investment, if you were given a 1993 Cobra dealership stand-up card, or maybe even bought it for $25-$40 from a friend, and sold it a few years later for $300, well, that sounds/looks like a better investment of that same money amount to me? true? or we can take the SVT Recog. Guide, $40 just a couple of years ago, now $150 or so used? I will not count the one that recently sold for $200+ because it was signed and new, good investment? It just amazes me what some of this stuff is selling for! BTW - I do not want to mislead anyone into thinking that buying a 1993 Cardboard stand-up for $300 is now a good investment, nor any of the other "now" prices listed above, but for the person who steadily watched these items and noticed an upward climb a few years ago and decided to place a little "extra money" that direction at that time, most likely you have done well in original $$$ outlay vs. current $$$ value.
