Oh, they probably will be worth $70,000 in another 30 years.  At least.

And a McDonald's value meal will probably also cost $29.95 by then too.



Inflation is a MoFo.

I'll never understand these hoping-for-a-mistaken-buyer kind of auctions. 

People just aren't gonna do that when you're talking about $70,000 for a 1980s Dodge. 

well, maybe in 30 years they'll be worth that.

At the mercum auction I watched, a lot of people talked about putting 80's cars inside, and not driving them, hoping to sell a rare survivor Ford Festiva sometime in the future. Maybe Hemis will die out, and four bangers will be the most expensive. "I paid $1,000,000 for this here four cylinder automatic convertible 1983 Yugo"

It'll never work. 

You can't manufacture collectibility.  If "everyone knows" that a brand-new item is gonna be worth a fortune someday, it probably won't be.
