This has been bandied about on both the MG and Healey list, and probably others, as well. Simply stated, there is no way to determine whether anything will appreciate in value. In the simplest of ter

No kai you wouldn't control the prices. You only control the supply. The price is set when and only when you sell. not before. Please check with your Economics teacher (assuming you had/have one) bef

I wouldn't? Yes I control the supply, but no one will buy an MG from me if they don't pay me the price I want. Look at Intel for example. They make the chip inside most computers, they sell it to di

Ok, I'll buy the Healeys also. Or how about I buy all the LBC replacement parts. That would have a larger impact then owning all the cars. Well of course once everyone finds out I own all the parts

But Kai, if you owned every MG in the world, and set your own price, you'd price yourself out of the car market. Face it, one thing we like about MGs is that they're affordable. If you have them all,

You need to talk to your dad some more about Economics. Your reasoning is flawed. Assuming that you owned ALL the MGs you either would have to keep them all or sell some. If you had ALL the MGs and n

I don't think you can really compare gas prices and MG prices. One is something we need and the other is a non-essential. I would still have to buy gas (or I wouldn't be able to get to work), no mat

Then they wouldn't buy. MGs aren't the only game in town. If you set the prices too high, you'd simply end up being the owner of the largest MG collection in the world. Intel only controls the price
