True. asking and actual are different but its a good sign for current owners.
I'd like a -8A but I really love my -9A.

I noticed this too! I hope they are getting those prices. When I started construction the prices were near or north of $100K for an -8. Of course, right as I finished the prices bottomed out...story of my life

Asking prices anyway
Can't really judge by asking prices.

I always thought it interesting that people are reluctant to reveal how much they sold (or bought) RVs for, which makes it incredibly difficult to get a decent picture of an RVs true value.
My guess is not many RVs -- 'cept maybe 10s and a few show planes -- are going for >100k.

A friend of mine has bought and sold 4 RV's this year, all of them for substantially less than the asking price. Deal is, he has the money in his pocket, makes an offer, low, for sure but 4 airplanes? All but the last one were re-sold at a big profit! The last one was ferried from Nevada to Georgia by an A&P/IA friend of mine, after a prebuy went well out there.
There's more to this business of buying and selling than meets the eye!
Best,

Its been a long haul but i think things are slowly improving economicly so i guess we can expect to see a slight increase in plane pricess as people have a little more dispoasable cash ???

As an aircraft broker,.....
As an aircraft broker, I can tell you that, in the past couple years, only the finest RV-7As (and of course, 10s) have sold for over $100k. And not much over. These have been glass panel, low time, 200hp, beautiful paint, masterfully built, etc. Most of these have been sold to overseas buyers who are willing to pay a premium for the finest examples of RVs. The average, well built, well maintained RV 6s, 7s, 9s have been selling between $60k and $85k.
Of course, these are only the planes I've dealt with, either assisting in the sale or shipping overseas. There have probably been countless planes sold recently that don't fall into this bracket.
