Point #3 below if the stupidest Alfa digest point I have read in over a year and a half of reading.  Not only does it not make any micro-economic sense, it is completely counter-intuitive and  \moronic.  Seriously.

OK, let's all just ask more for our cars and people will gladly pay.  That is absurd.

I don't know, maybe that is just too much practical business experience and wasted education (and a bottle of nice wine on a Friday night) speaking.

I will test point #3 by asking $20,000 for my fully restored '73 Spider and $20,000 for my mint '95 164Q.  I can hardly wait to blow this money on a Ferrari restoration project or a nice used BMW 7 series.  I think Mosko's needs to take a few economics classes at the local community college...
