Default Pricing

The problem with Sherman pricing seems to be no WW2 museum worth its name doesn't have a Sherman. But those bricks and mortar institutions are closing with fewer customers.

IMHO, the market is for experience collections that give visitors permission to touch, climb, hear, feel, smell and ride in the vehicles. A conventional tank isn't fitted for more than a couple of passengers. But a Sexton is an open box. If you marketed it as a passenger or rider friendly pattern, you might have better luck.

What to ask? Start high. You can always negotiate down. It is hard to negotiate up.

Just my opinion.
