It does make you wonder what happens to these over priced cars. Are there always mugs to buy them or do the sellers eventually bow to the inevitable and sell at a sensible price?

I know the classic way out for non sellers is for them to be shifted through the trade at a much lower price and the next dealer is happy to sell at a sensible margin. It's almost like the original dealer doesn't like to admit their greed by selling at a lower price to a private purchaser but it's acceptable to put it back through the trade. Antique dealers seem to have the same attitude.
