Feck me, that's embarrassing...jonby said:
It's not about people being guillible. It's about supply and demand. Plus there are lots of examples of items where small difference to the norm make a big difference to collectabilty & value (far smaller than the difference between cygnet and IQ) - Rolex submariners that say comex for instance
By that logic, a Talbot Tagora must be worth a bloody fortune! 
Sorry, needs to actually have some genuine desirability, real credibility and heritage that people 'buy in to' (you know, like a Comex Rolex?)

Or are you suggesting that cygnets are not holding their value well ?
As for comex subs, most weren't used for diving anyway. The premium for comexes is bonkers hype. It would be like paying 4 times the market price for a bog standard Ferrari road car because Alonso owned it and had his name in the logbook (but didn't drive it).

there is patently more demand than supply for Cygnets because it's reflected in the price - just because there are lots of people that don't like the cygnet or think it's current asking prices are potty does not change that fact
That must be why it was such a massive success in the first place, all that pent up demand! Cygnet owners are of course entitled to believe what they want and ask whatever they wish for their cars.
Whether they'll ever get anything like it though...
