    I will be listing a near perfect Saratoga top in the classifieds shortly, but first I want to recommend the storage bag that Jim (i-velocita and the original poster here) supplies. He has gone to great lengths to make a quality reproduction Saratoga storage bag, even down to the tag. Jim charges a very reasonable price, and shipping was really fast. Thanks, Jim!

    Thanks for the kind words Jeff. It will be fun to see another Saratoga test the market. Good luck!

    Thanks Mike and Jim. This will be interesting I think. The top is really excellent without a scratch. The seals are supple, black trim is very nice, and obviously well cared for. I need to work up an ad and post in our classifieds. I'll post a photo below.

    Yes, very few trading hands now. Owners are holding on to them.

    Looks like the market caps at $7,000 and that was last year.

    These things are not going to sell unless that number drops below that. I understand asking 11 large because I would, but the fact is, they are not going to move at those numbers.

    Both eBay listings are Buy-it-Now / Make-Offer listings, not fixed price. The asking prices alone don't tell us what the offer history has been. Offer history very possibly well above last $7500 sale.

    Here's my take...who cares? Doesn't add anything to the car or bragging rights.

    It adds a great deal to the car.

    I have had one for 4 years and it's great looking up and seeing the sky and having all that light come in. I like it so much, I take the top out 50% less now.

    You could run a similar list on the increased price of a set of fitted 308/328 Schedoni luggage over the last 5 years. Prices of all our cars accessories seem to be going through the roof !!
    Supply versus demand I guess.

    Not a bad idea. Probably best to start a new thread for Schedoni. :)

    Currently there is a Saratoga top listed on eBay @ $6500. Has cracked/poorly repaired frame and non-standard pouch. Lexan looks dirty/rough. Early model without underside padding. No original paperwork. Will be interesting to see what it brings!
