14k Paul Newman Daytona - worth $159k?

Saw this listed on Ebay, and am wondering - is it really worth US$159k?

It's not really appropriate to label whoever might be prepared to pay that amount a fool. With a model like this, you're certainly not going to get a buyer who doesn't know his stuff. While the asking price and amount of money may be extraordinary to you, it might be loose change to someone else. It's all relative.

Worth is all in the eyes ... If I thought a pepsi can can was worth one million dollars, I would gladly pay for it .... surprisingly, I think a pepsi can is worth 30cents .... same goes for this watch ....

Notice, he's got a 'make an offer' button...He's basically advertising the top price isn't he?

I think the Paul Newman Daytona's have peaked the way some classic cars did in the early 90s and there maybe a price correction.
