Default Are these guys nuts?

I often check 850 sales on eBay and found a few cars there. Are these guys nuts? Do they really think they can get these prices?

1993 850 with 57,000 miles, $9,950:
Volvo : 850 5SPEED in Volvo | eBay Motors

1996 850 T5 wagon with 110,223 miles, $13,975 OBO:
Volvo : 850 Turbo Wagon | eBay

I have alway felt that one would be better off buying an older mid 90's Volvo than a mid '00 anything else but not at these prices. SMH

thats nuts....there's a guy in town with a used lot that gets a lot of 850s in that usually have 120-150k on them. I see sticker prices of anywhere from $4000 to $5500 on them. evidently he makes money on them though, because i always see different ones on his lot.

Gentlemen, it's like a high school date. You can ask for anything you want but what you actually get is something quite different.

Agreed! Not only is it like a high school date......it is totally nuts. We got our 95 850 Turbo with 170K on it 6 years ago for the kids to drive. We picked it up for $2500 and at the time I thought that was pricey
