If two $39 a piece western shirts from the movie are worth $50,000 a pop, my guess is this truck actually sold cheap!

It is sad to see that someone would pay that much money for a truck that 20 years from now now one will care about, nor care about that movie. Now if the truck would have been in the Wizard of OZ, that would be a different sorry. A great classic. My two pennies

In fact, i'll bet if a persons were to keep that Jimmy in good condition, in 20 years it'll be worth $20,000 (which would probably be about $12,000 in todays money)
I don't imagine gay folks are going anywhere.. in fact I suspect there will be more of 'em around 20 years from now.. and to that community, this Bareback Mountian movie will be a definate classic.. the gay equivelent of Gone With The Wind..
.. what's Scarlett O'Haras dress worth now adays?

Or perhaps a Brokeback Carwash and have the trucks moved through one at a time and detailed. Use plot lines from the original Car Wash movie.

Check out the zero(0) feedback third bidder.He bid 12 times in a row,bringing it from 30K to 45K. This seems very "shilly",but the others still chose to outbid him.
Also note that the top bidder bid even more than $60,100, but that was all that was needed to win so the proxy bid didn't go any higher.Only he knows how high he went.
The kid was smart to sell when the movie hype is highest because,as previous posters mentioned,once the novelty wears off,the price plummets.
It would be interesting to see what it would fetch in a year or two.

Actually saw one listed recently in an Auto Trader - "2005 Isuzu Assender, $20,995".

At the time I was trying to sell a nice 59 Impala, and had trouble getting rid of it for $200.00. I thought the only reason that 58 went for that much was cause it was in the movie. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,953 | My 49 was in The "Engagement Ring". I wonder if I can ask big bucks for it???
Incidentally buying props after a shoot is interesting. I was an extra in the Charlie's Angels film and was given a 70s style plaid suit to wear. It smelled badly and was tight but I liked it enough to go to the "set dec sale" to find it. On the racks for $20 but someone must have cleaned it and there was no way it was ever going to fit me! | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 1,571 | | | |
