Further to my last, I feel that I must add that my commentary and opinion of carrier value is just that; an opinion.
To those of you who choose to email me personally attacking my opinion because you feel that I am in some way hampering a sale etc, please be advised that I did not realize that I am all powerful in the world of MV appraisals and that I have any kind of influence.. Simply put, I have been in the game for a number of years, have owned many carriers from parts and pieces to complete units. iMany of the carriers that you guys own and have restored, I have probably had a hand in in some way or form. I have helped out a great many collectors here with bits and pieces. Here in Canada, you would be hard pressed to find anyone wanting to pay huge amounts for a toy. Thats the truth, long and short. Yes there are those who have deep pockets and will pay anything just to have but that does not begin  to establish true values.The European market is definately different, as is the US market for MVs.

Nice shot Chris
but you know Canadians they never are willing to pay what something is worth Just rebuild one froms scratch and see what you have invested without your time Materials alone will put you over the top never mind buying the carrier I also didn,t realize you had so much influence I better pay a little more attention  Stew

Chris
Don't worry, I don't think your carrier appraisals are worth a dime. Find me a carrier that looks anything like the one on Milweb here in Canada for $10K and I would snap it up in a second. Seems like all we see are the derelict lower hulls with boat anchor motors for asking prices around $7K. No comparison.

I'm counting on mine being worth a "bob or two" when the time comes that I can't look after it.. (Does not include Veterans)

Thanks Rob, Stew, Charlie et al! I am glad my opinion isn't worth poop.
I tend to play Devil's advocate from time to time...  I think what we need here is a group hug, or maybe some sensitivity training. I can organize a program.
