Hi Guys,

Regarding the asking price of the Brewster, first off, the Great vehicles ad is an old ad not posted by us. But you may be interested to know that the Brewster Buffalo was appraised ( yes by a qualified and accredited appraiser ) at a fair market value that exceeded the asking amount on that ad. I have a copy of the appraisal sitting in front of me that gives the justification on how they came to that number. Is that a realistic value? To some it is, but to others it's not and some have said you can't put a value on an aircraft like the Brewster. In the end, the true dollar value will be determined by how much the Buffalo ends up selling for. As for its historical value, I guess thats up for debate!

BTW, if anyone of you can produce a Brewster Buffalo for me, I can sell it for you right now. Provide me photos and proof of ownership, and I?ll get the ball rolling right now. I can also arrange it to be donated to a museum of your choice.

All the best,
