You are underestimating the numbers. I have been buying and selling Haldas
for over 10 years. Recently I stopped simply because the numbers on the ground
are getting very thin. Historic rallying is very big in Europe. Lots of
events have 100 to 150 entrants. I belong to the Historic Rally Car Register in
the UK. They have over 2000 members and publish their own slick paper magazine.
That's just the UK. Then there's the show car guys who restore something as
a rally car and need a Halda to stick in there even if they never connect it.
Then there are the collectors. I could go on.

Who in the hell are buying these? They are antiques. It's like buying old
tone arms when you don't even have a phonograph player. The old people who
need antique rally meters are people who are fitting out antique rally cars.
How many of us are there? Like 200 or 300 worldwide? All vying to buy 5000
Haldas worldwide? How weird. Just weird. I don't think so. I think there are
some vested sellers (and some clueless "wall-hanger decor" buyers) who are
buying and selling to each other to keep market prices artificially
inflated. Norm
