Hey Mark,
I remember when you could buy a house on the water in Beach Haven West for $8,999 with no money down, not really that long ago...Nice to see it worth so much, but as with the cars, if you sell you will never be able to replace and that goes emotionally as well. Let me know when you head down and we can cruise over to the Dutchmans Quelly bar for a few cold ones..

Sam, I can remember wanting to get a place on LBI for years and looking at some duplexes that I thought were overpriced in the $165,000 range. That was less than 8 years ago. That same duplex now sells for a minimum of $750,000. I'm not looking for a beach house as an investment, but a place to go to in the spring/summer. It will probably never happen now because of all the NY people coming down and buying everything up.

I have been going to LBI for over forty years. My parents had a house there many years ago. My uncle had a bay front house until he passed away last year. Jeff there are alot of PA people as well as NY. We are spending a week there in July, but it will be the first without my aunt and uncle next door. A great family resort and a NJ treasure. yearmandLBI is

Yes, there were quite a few PA people, but not like it used to be. It's dominated by NY license plates. They've built up everything around LBI as well so it now takes 45 minutes longer to get to the south end where we usually go. It's amazing to see these little houses sell for $400-600K and then get torn down and a new monster takes its place. The prices of real estate and musclecars has gone up much faster than people's income, so it must be investors running up the prices of both. But there's no use in complaining since it won't change the situation for either. Enjoy what you have!

As far as this car goes, what a beauty. I find it interesting that WW Muscle had the car listed for 12-18mo. with price around 150 or so and couldn't sell it and now it goes for 275K, go figure.

When I first bought the car almost 3 years ago, I priced the car at $165K. I then took it off the market, within 3-4 months, and we liked it so it basically was not for sale. I turned down $200K for the car numerous times before taking it to the Houston auction and selling it.

Congrats on the Sale Mike and Mahalo for the insight on it as well.
