Personally i think the kid is kidding himself, but you guys may have missed something.
I had a mate awhile ago that was getting pressured by his missus to sell his valiant. He didn't want or need to but according to his missus it had to go.
So what's he do, he advertises it for five times what he thinks it is worth. His missus doesn't suspect a thing cause she has an idea of how much he has spent on it.
Shock Horror not one phone call, my mate says "can't sell i guess i'm gunna have to keep it"
