BB's that have been for sale for a long time

[Jonathan L]

Go take a look at Vintage Birds. There are 15 Birds that have been
there since 2007 or before. Of those 15, 2 are from 2006 and another
is from 2005. That's 15 of 41!!

I've been watching Birds and what their prices for about 2-3 years
now waiting for my finances to line up (i.e. sell some land). I'm
very on top of the market in that regard. I check BirdConnection.com,
VintageBirds.com, BuyByeBluebird.com, RVT.com, RVTraderonline.com,
eBay.com, and a couple others weekly (sometimes more often than
that). There's a core population on each that never changes (more
than 50% of what's listed). eBay is the only place that doesn't have
it (which you'd expect by its nature). It kind of cracks me up to be
honest. I see a lot of them come and go - usually at better prices.
And, these folks never change the price and will never sell them. The
2 that really crack me up are the 1990 with the butt-ugly paint job
for $130K and the 90 SP36 for $142K (both on RVTraderonline.com as
well as other places). As if.....
