At it again another Sandcast from Frank

AshimotoK0:
At first glace it looks nice Uli but I have not studied it closely. I will leave that to Pete and James as I am fast becoming a bit of a CB500 convert over the 750 (market is flooded with them and its getting worse by the week).

If it is as nice as it looks then the price is kind of proving the old dog 'Ashimoto' right on his 'real-folding stuff price paid' I believe.

I know there are folks on here who don't care for DS and that's fair enough but I asked him at Bonhams about YLY 70H and he thought the 19k GBP bid was more than its worth.So I asked him  how much he would think to pay for a nice K0 diecast or sandcast and here told me sub 10K USD for a diecast and around 15 for a sandcast. He's obviously got the trade corrections that us ordinary folk  don't have but it doesn't take an Alan Turing to work out what the retail price would be.
My old boss used to say if you want to chance your arm with the theory there's always one mug about, if you string them along  long enough  or you don't really want to do a job, then multiply the the 'real' price by Pi. I think the Frank's of this world went to the same school as him  ;D ;D   You do the maths !!

Sgt.Pinback:
Ash, we should not mix up dealers buying prize with market prize.

IMHO a (US) sandcast, in good restored condition (and I haven't looked at this one in detail as pics are too bad), sells for 25.000  - 35.000 Euro. In Germany.
No idea what US diecast are worth here. Maybe 10 - 15 k EUR. I wouldn't buy one.

BUT> Does he really get that kind of money ?.... :o

Trigger:
Yep :)

MarkCR750:
Plenty of investors out there not making any money leaving it the bank, the danger though is the demographics , nostalgia fuels a lot of classic bike sales, so joe blogs that couldn't afford one in the seventies now has plenty of spare cash and fulfills his dreams boosting the market, the trouble is in 15 years time anyone who wanted one back then will either be too old to bother or dead, that's when you find out if it really is a "classic", the Mercedes gull wing has remained a sound investment continuing to rise in value long after the demographic has died off, the D type jag has actually fallen in value over the last 20 years in real terms so it's impossible to tell which vehicles will be true investments, a friend almost bought an F40 for 200k about 6 years ago, he kicked himself the next year when they rose by 50k but still hesitated, then again a couple of years later at 350k, now he can't afford one 😏, the brough superior has gone ballistic of course, now if anyone could show that Lawrence of Arabia rode a sandcast I'd sell my house and buy a few! 😀
