A $1000 worth of gold(at (X) oz. for the days market) WILL exchange/sell/trade for $1000. $400,000 worth of concept car MAY bring $400,000.................IF(and a big IF) you are able to find a buyer. That is the point i was making. Gold(example you gave) has an international market value and can be liquidated daily. This car cannot, as proven by the
ebay listing. Never implied the actual value is more or less than the asking price, just said these types of cars are very unstable investments and sometimes hard to get a return on.
