Hi Phil:
I just don't know where they find the people to pay for these things.
Over the years I've worked with a few people who have serious money. The
one thing they all had in common was knowing exactly what everything was
worth. They would fight as much over the price of a stapler as they
would for buying an office tower.
Just how many sports types are there who just come into tons of money at
once and have no idea of how to keep it?

to do with it)

Subject: [TR] auction price surprise
I was looking at a coworker's "Autoweek" this morning and noticed a
sidebar about a 1963 TR4 that sold at Barrett-Jackson on April 1st
for $97,200. April Fool's joke? Apparently not. The car went through
a 2 year restoration, but still that's an astonishing amount of
money. A fool and his money.....
