This is what I mean when I said that there's no discussion only violent agreement in an almost fanatical cheerleading way. I don't see any discussion. The reason could be Greg's explanation, but where's the discussion?

I thought they did? My understanding from the discussion there is that the volume of BB's being sold by dealers is extremely small. Just like Newells and Prevosts, there just are not very many that change hands, especially thru dealers.

Then, couple that with the wide variance in condition due to various factors, and it becomes impossible for any service to say what the "average" price of a given year of BB is worth. I doubt that, in any given year, that even one model of each year of BB is sold thru a dealer? And that the most of a given year sold thru a dealer is probably just a few? With widely different options and conditions?

How do Newells and Prevosts do it?I think they hold value well, and I do not believe they are listed? Maybe I am wrong?

I have not seen any negative personal attacks on that site, like I have on this site. As a less than one year BB owner, I find it counterproductive for us to be taking pot shots at each other. We all need the support of each other. I have found the support available to me to be outstanding. I hope that continues, as I truly believe THAT is what will hold up the value of BB's over the long term. Much more so than any listing on NADA.

Knowing that, as a new or prospective owner of a pretty darn complex machine like a BB, I have the full support and technical knowledge of all the wonderful people here and on WOG. THAT is what will help me pay more for a BB. Otherwise, with NO factory support anymore, I would probably not bought my BB.
