LMAO! I'd call him a freak but he's got about the same chance of his story being true as any of the rest of it and look how many people drink that wine-flavored kool-aid.

Well, maybe one of those suckers who are born every minute will buy it. I have never seen a car worth that much money.

I have, this morning at Goodwill. A Bentley convertible. No joke. You know times are bad when there is a Bentley at the Goodwill...
I stuck it on my watch list just out of curiosity. That is unreal.... :o

It may cost that much but it sure isn't worth that much to me.

That would take some tight corners for sure... :biggrin: Better come with hot and cold running butlers and to your door mechanics for that kind of price too. (I would have said hot and cold running maids but I'd prefer butlers) :biggrin:

Especially since he is offering it without a warranty!

And most people obviously share your sentiment. As far as I know, there are fewer than 80 of them in the world and only four in the U.S. Leno owns one of them and interestingly, one of them is owned by Tim Durham of Obsidian Partners and is right here in Indy! Don't know about the other two...
So knowing what one costs, how bad would this piss you off?

As long as it's not mine....doesn't piss me off at all.

Ya, really....I was going to bid but it slipped my mind.... :biggrin:
For those of you who missed out on this you now have another chance at it.... :biggrin:

Can anyone tell me why a millionaire would be looking for a car on ebay?

The same reason anyone else would?
A car though? If I were a millionaire....sure I'd want to save a buck or two and get a good deal...but I wouldn't start on ebay bidding on a car I couldn't test drive. You don't get anywhere near the product until you've paid for it.
for heaven's sake, its Christ's grandsons car!! Jesus will forever be your copilot! No need for a test drive! :angel:
Depends on what they're looking for...a couple of months ago, Carroll Shelby had his own Mustang Cobra GT listed...I'm thinking whoever bought it had to have a lot of money.

but is he also going to be my auto mechanic??
Found it...a 1968 Shelby EXP500 CSS Black Hornet from Carroll Shelby's personal collection. (http://wot.motortrend.com/6336086/auctions/shelby-exp500-css-black-hornet-to-be-auctioned-for-charity/index.html) Starting bid was also $100,000.00. I'm thinking that between this and geebuz's Benz, I'm driving the 'stang.

no need for one when your engine is running on full synthetic holy oil.
There is more that can go wrong than just the engine. Holy oil isn't going to take care of those things. No thank you.....buying a car off of ebay, or a house, or a camper, or a boat, Big ticket items....not a very wise plan.
I don't agree but certainly you have to do your due diligence. I once sold a baby grand piano on eBay to someone in Connecticut.

A friend of ours sold his boat for $10k to a guy from Texas who was more than happy to pay that and come to Indiana to get it because he said the same boat would have cost him twice that in Texas.

I see a baby grand piano in a different catagory than those things I mentioned. If it's missing a key, or needs a wire, those probably aren't a big deal. I personally would never buy anything that I'm going to spend a lot of money on from an online auction site. I need to be able to see what I am buying up close and personal, and if it's a motorized item, I need to see that it's working. I need to be able to bring someone along with me that knows how the item is supposed to function properly and have them advise me. I can't just take the word of the seller.
And that's okay....you never have to agree with me on anything. I'm just a difficult person.

Actually, either of those would be a huge deal because they're indicative of abuse. There are a lot of other not so obvious things that could be wrong with the instrument as well, like a cracked soundboard, that could render it almost worthless so you should really pay someone who knows what he/she is looking at to go check it out before you spend the cost of a car on it.

And that is your preference.
I'm pretty sure that's why I used the word "personally".

Bidding has ended once again on the wonder car and no one seems interested for some strange reason. Of course the seller, realizing what a bargain it is and just knowing people will sooner or later also realize it, has relisted it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290333254679 Come on Ex you give the guy a bid you know you really want this wonderful car... :biggrin:
