I agree with Dave. BringaTrailer.com is a fun place to search and watch
auctions for Triumphs. However, Dave is spot on when he says some cars there
sometimes get crazy prices as compared to their quality level. However,
sometimes cars there are sold at about their correct value, but many times not
too. A friend who is into motorcycles recently commented how sometimes prices
of motorcycles go a little crazy on BringaTrailer. All it takes is two or three
bidders for the price to spike. However, many times a flawed car will get
picked apart from the comments.
