There is always a fool in the crowd that will pay too much, but again, saying your car is part of "market" is a hoot ! Here is an idea: Its a rare color BECAUSE NOBODY WANTED IT IN 1998 !
You Sir are offensive.
I wasnt trying to choose ANY FRICKIN SIDES - just to point out her price of 31k for that particular car is not UNHEARD Of...
I found 3 or 4 other examples of this car at similar prices i suppose ill have to dig them up to ram down your rude throat.
its not unheard of, for the simple fact that I had an offer not far from it
- if you would like a PROOF of the EMAIL OFFER to show its Not BS I Can dig it up also.......oh, never mind your not worth it
I wasnt making categorical statement to say 'they "were" worth more' ... if you learned to read instead of blowing your lid ...- you would find: I tried to say; in what i thought was a more diplomatic way than you can obviously muster: that the car is probably only worth that kind of money ...to someone that .... wait for it.... (ill spell it out for you) .... someone that W A N T S A P U R P L E one!!
its gonna be higher than KBB to someone particularly interested in that original and unrepeated colour -- to anyone else it will be an extremely tidy, meticulously mainted example of a corvette and only command a slight premium against KBB for its show room condition
- what part of "TO ANYONE ELSE ..IT WILL ONLY COMMAND A SLIGHT PREMIUM...FOR ITS...CONDITION" didnt you understand???
FOR THE MAJORITY IT MAY BE "AROUND THE KBB"
FOR THE PERSON HELL BENT ON THAT COLOUR THEY WILL , JUST LIKE THE PERSON THAT SPOKE TO ME, OFFER AS MUCH AS THEY want TO OFFER !
you boldly try to state that I said
that KBB or any publication is wrong
go finish grade skool and learn to apply REASON to what you read ...and prove yourself, where i made that claim.
- i was merely pointing out the price was not without peer and that such a price, rightly or wrongly, in your macdonald loving eyes -was subjective and dependant upon the person making the offer
and where you misunderstand me to be DECLARING Somehow that Officially
it is a "collector color" ?
maybe i mispoke, maybe your right and i shouldnt have used the words collector colour(as if i was Proclaiming It) like on behalf of the entire corvette community - there you go, over-reacting again... .AS IF...
any feature with limited quantities are to those people interested such features ... are .... (wait for it) .... COLLECTABLE
your Lordship judges:
There is always a fool in the crowd that will pay too much, but again, saying your car is part of "market" is a hoot !
Me? not that its any business of yours, but one of them wasnt me, I on the other hand, got the deal of a lifetime.
and guess what you have when more than one person that makes a offer for something, ........ <insert finance 101> : a a bloody market!!
maybe not the OVERALLLLLL MARKET -- or the GLORIOUS CLOWN MARKET or the worlds-official-corvette-market-as-long-as-its approved-by-you-market -- but 'a' market none the less
Here is an idea: Its a rare color BECAUSE NOBODY WANTED IT IN 1998 !

Did you see the views that this "for sale" ad has gotten?! And Grump hasn't found this yet. I think it's time to call IBTL.

dont sweat it ZEEEE06 - if his moniker is anything to go by he used to have a Corvette but he 'Sold! it' -- he is just sad and bitter as a result
madeoutaglass i know its hilarious, 1860 views and rising - i guess the Purple Corvette really isnt as unwanted as Clownboy would like us to believe...

IE: its only worth what someone is willing to pay for it
Well there we can agree, there MAY very well be someone out there that would pay that money for the purple car. That isn't a market, that is winning the lottery...

more inaccuracies as usual - I just got off the phone with GM at Bowling Green -turns out they think they sold that colour out -aheadof the other models in that model year- and [newsflash] :they think they have had well over 1,000 people who have called in to ask for it to be offered read my lips A G A I N!!! (that makes its it at least around 263% more popular,
but if you cant see that, stick to making change behind the McD's till and driving that Impala SS of yours...<snicker>
Now there you guys go, thinking that a picture of one of my cars indicates that I somehow can't afford a Corvette ( even though I have sold or bought them before ) and that you are some sort of purple car driving elite ! Now nobody can be as smart as purple car people now can they ?

it gets better ! Who can keep up with the purple corvette people, they are so above me ! Suffice to say, I can easily buy a new corvette, an old Corvette, and really old corvette with cash and still wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the world the demand for purple vettes is on the rise !

Sure is a great deal of yelling that is nothing more than an an agreement that KBB might be accurate except for some purple-car-loving, no way to see the real value, never been to a bookstore, can't compare cars online, gotta have a purple car......buyer
you form a bad arguement through your misunderstanding of my original post and now your lambasting me further because you cant understand it? Thats just obtuse.
let me use smaller words.
most cars fetch around KBB pricing for good condition cars with little added value.
some people that cant locate a decent car in a certain specificatio...sorry, in a special style, type or yes, colour end up paying more if they really want it bad enough.
sorta like that guy that offered you 31k for yours...
i drew a line while laughing incredulousl-sorry , while laughing really hard with my wife that someone could offer what they did , but when it came down to it, my Wife likes the colour and so i left the offer uncountere-sorry, i didnt attempt to match it or agree on itno one is trying to be elitist - except you. I just thought I would offer some friendly input, that 'hey someone in my neck of the woods was willing to offer X amount - ' when talking about this lady's price - and i never even once said the slightest thing about any of the drivel , sorry , rude comments you have been making all over the place ... and then you come down trying to smash me with your
PROVE this and your BS that .... your the narcissist here pal
you dont get to be arrogant and say
...Insults about money talking to a guy that could buy and sell you.
at the end its all just
while you 
heres your star sign's prediction for today
:LEO
You woke up mad today, .. Go to the Zoo and eat raw meat

Wow, this one strayed from a 1998 C5 for sale. I have not read all the comments yet, since it needed to be locked immediately.
I feel confident in reminding members that personal attacks are not permitted, hijacking threads is a
and if you're not interested in the car or its price, then you can move along with your input.Now, with that said, I would encourage the creator of the thread to begin a new one, and to try and answer as many questions as possible about the vehicle. If she wants to answer some of the questions via PM or email, that's her prerogative, and should be respected.
If an interested member does not want to accommodate the sellers request, then the vehicle will remain for sale for a longer period of time.
I wish the buyer the best of luck on the sale, and hopefully someone is happy with the transaction if they finalize a deal...
