It is what it is. I personally will not lose any sleep over people getting fleeced by paying a 60% premium to have the first new-used Bronco in town. To be able to do such a thing suggests a certain amount of financial comfort; these are not people who won’t be able to sleep under a solid roof or put food on the…

If someone is willing to pay it, all the power to them. This is literally how the entire commerce system is based. Someone has money and someone has something for sale, they come to a price and exchange. If the thing is in demand then the price goes up, not rocket surgery.

‘90s Ford Escorts are selling for $3,000 right now. Fucking PT Cruisers are selling for $3,000 right now. Old second gen Chevrolet Equinoxes are staying up at the $7,000 price range, and tenth gen F-150s are selling at around $5,000. Shit’s going nuts. I can’t find a good beater for under $2,500.
