I like so-called "patina" vehicles, and I realize they have gained popularity. However to actually pay MORE for a rusty vehicle than a finish-painted comparable one is just stupid.
Below are two nearly identical trucks listed on Ebay. Both are by the same seller, same town, same auction end time, same wheels and tires, etc. The only difference: one is straight and immaculately painted, the other dented and rusty. The painted truck currently is bid up to $8600; the rusty truck is at $13,900.
This has gotten out of hand.
