Got to give it to them. Keep out everyone with original stuff and look what the auction does for it. The prices for pumps and neon are just way over the top. Glad I got out of pedal cars 20 years ago, they are really taking a beating.

Craig, Thanks for posting. Just finished looking at the automobilia auction docket. Let's see what the rest of the week brings. So far looks like the hobby is doing pretty good. Except for pedal cars.

Just saw that, these guys are really either under educated in pumps or just without reason. Do you see why no vendor is allowed to sell original pumps and neon now . I just can't believe it !! A good Roman now would top 100K with these prices there.
