Jeff, no offense, but keep in mind that these models have appreciated since thier original release several years ago. Obviously, if the values that other collectors place on these out of production models is any indication, the original purchase price is well worth the investment. Like anything else, it is what the market will bear. We might not like it, but I would not expect the club, or any other collector who has a few of these on the shelves to sell them for a deeply discounted price just because a few people think they are overpriced. Do an EBay search for "Smith Miller" and see what you will find. Most Smith Miller trucks are B Model Macks or GMC COE's. The level of detail is not museum quality for exact Mack-like representation, but you get the idea, and truth be told, I would LOVE some on my shelf, but the price is a bit too salty. What to do? Hope to find a bargain or win the lottery. In the meantime I will still admire them, and lust after those on another's shelf.
