That's an old ad for the rally car. It was down to $7k last time I asked, and Alex K was handling the sale.

Could be? I have just heard the price of stuff in in dream land!
Spac
My take: Virginia took some well-intentioned but somewhat optimistic advice on the value of stuff. When the rally car failed to sell, she asked a bit more widely, and got some more realistic advice on the rally stuff.
Whether this has flowed over to the rest of the stuff, I don't know.

iceton1975
