I saw 2 on The Samba that were being sold for 100-125k. It's shocking how much the Bays go for compared to the measly $500 I paid James DAC TCB '59 23 Window Deluxe '73/'77 Westfakia '78 Super Vert ________________________________ From: sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 6:21 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: OH Have you compared values lately. Maybe the economy relative to the 23 windows is trying to tell you how the general VW public views the splits vs. the bays. ________________________________ From: James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> To: "tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, February 28, 2013 4:58:47 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: OH It's the swing axle vs the IRS I think. Actually my '77 drives tons better than my '72 or my '73. It drives like a boat and the turning radius of the steering is so much better than the '59. I do like all those little windows in the roof though.

Drive better, yes, but more fun, I would say that is a stretch. ________________________________ From: James Dwan <james_dwan_2000@xxxxxxxxx> To: "tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thu, February 28, 2013 3:20:55 PM Subject: [tcb] Re: OH I average 4 conversations a week about my Bay. I was dropping of some recyclables and the people that were supposed to be helping me cart the stuff in were just gawking at the inside asking me all kinds of questions. Another guy in line asked me how much so I told him 12k he said ok. I realized it's time to up my asking price after looking on The Dramba. I'd never sell but I'll raise it to 15k just to keep people from giving me their business card LOL. Besides, I drive both and I have to admit Bays are more fun to drive : ) James DAC TCB '59 23 Window Deluxe '73/'77 Westfakia '78 Super Vert ________________________________ From: Biggestdaddyo <biggestdaddyo@xxxxxxxxx> To: "tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 9:54 AM Subject: [tcb] Re: OH Oh I thought all that adoration from the masses was aimed at ME!?

So dollars over sense? As in the sense of love. I challenge you to drive around in Donner and see how much more love my Bay gets than any Spilt I know of. Hey James pipe in here., you have experience with the constant love that is felt by the masses for Donner. Love notes galore! Squeals from men, women, and children! My '66 never got that kind of love. I would say that the one with more value is the one who wins the hearts of others in an instant. Love is worth more than money any day.
