Default c5 prices

hey guys

I'm curious as to why the c5 prices right now seem a bit high. I view the classifieds here more than once everyday, as well as other sites and have been in the market for 9 months . Here is a link to my other thread on this topic a few months ago.

While the prices at corvetteforum.com are by far the best priced, it still seems that some people offer their cars at 4-6k over the kbb value. When somebody offers them what the book says, they, or others call them a "low baller".

Just curious if others experience this.

I'm not saying I disagree with some of your thinking, but if you have been in the market for nine months, maybe your pricing is out of line as well.
It's definitely a buyers market, but both sides have to be reasonable.
It's a great time to buy.

Most people price high so when you make an offer they drop the price and they get what they wanted to begin with.
