Are FC's worth more here in the NW compared to the rest of the nation?

Are FC's worth more here in the NW compared to the rest of the nation?

It seems, everywhere on RX7 club, people act as if it were a normal thing to find good condition NA 7's for >$1500, and Turbo II's for >$3000. I mean, I picked up my NA FC for $3250. Granted, it was in really good condition, and, despite the fact I might have overpaid a bit, I don't really mind that price at all. But yeah, whats the big idea?

Not sure myself being a FB owner but I know that a S5 NA or TII more people will pay more here because you cannot seem to find a S5 anything here.

FC's are overpriced in WA, kinda sucks. So many other places in the nation you can get an average FC for 1k, sometimes 500 gets you a running one that may not have the best body or interior, but it runs.

In WA it's not uncommon to see FC's going for 2-3k+ especially TII's.

Yeah, I bought my (nicer) TII for $3750 with around 140k on it. The reason why I got it was because one, it was good looking and two, it was stock and unmolested.

TII's are so rare (especially s5's) that it's really a sellers market.
