SAN FRANCISCO - A nearly $10 million eBay bid for a car made famous by "The Dukes of Hazzard" seems to have vanished faster than the Duke boys escaping from the sheriff in the hot Georgia night.

The General Lee's owner - actor John Schneider, who played the blond heartthrob Bo Duke in the 1980s television series - is upset that the $9,900,500 winning bid appears to be a hoax. The bid set an eBay record last week.

 

I think a simple "Duh" would suffice here.

 

He got negative feedback..... lol
That will teach him.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Hahahahaha. People found out about the guy not paying and started bidding on his stuff just to leave him negative feedback.

I don't understand people. At all.

 

Something seems phony about this whole deal. Sure the 9,900,000 bid was a hoax, but it didn't get that high on one bid. Why wouldn't you go back to the next highest bidders and see if they were legit. I can't believe all the bids were hoaxes.
I rather doubt he will get anywhere close to 9 mil at any brick and mortar auction house either.

He won't get anywhere close to that.

If you look at the runner up, he had been bidding on SPawn and Star Wars figurines. His bid wasn't any more legit.

Hardly none of the them were. Are people really this dense? (rhetorical question)

 

Yeah, it won't ever bring anywhere close to that. Especially since, if I read the description right, it's not even the actual car used on the TV show.

 

I have serious doubts it is even JS's car. In interviews with him about the show he always makes it like 'it was just a car' and he and the other 'actors' were the real attractions.

Lets see, Daisy's *** and an orange car...did anyone SEE any other actors? We all know Cooter wasn't acting.

 

when my friends told me about the 9 mill I knew it was fake...but what rediculous price do you think it will really go for...400,000? I dont know who the hell has that kind of money, but I need to know if they are hiring.

 

Does this mean my bid of 8.9 million will win it????.....GREAT!!!!!!!!!! I've already built a jump ramp in my front yard....gonna have to be careful though, the sidewalk could be a problem with all the damn kids walking to school.

 

I Think The Whole Thing Was Just A Ploy To Get Publicity For John's Up Coming Movie. It Just Happened To Work Out That The Auction Ended On The Same Day That His Movie Came Out.... Sounds Fishy To Me.

 

Stockman, who gave the winning bidder a negative rating in eBay's feedback forum.

That has got to be one of the Funnest statements I have heard in a long time !! That will teach him.....hahahahahahahah

 

Wow, I sure hope his fine acting talents and great lines ('Yeeeeee Haaaaaaaa') don't get upstaged by a car.

Party on Wayne. Party on Garth.

 

It seems those Duke boys were at it again...

 

Shill bidding on ebay...wow that is news

 

It all seemed so legit and realistic...I cant believe it turned out to be a hoax...this Stocktan guy must have been hitt'n the jug...10 mil for a general lee... dumb***...I mean c'mon...who the **** didnt think this was fraud...are these hollywood celebs so self absorbed that they think society wants and is willing to pay 10mil for their cars...dumb***es

 

Why don't they just Barrett Jackson that thing? Lot's of fools with money on the road to easy splitsville!

 

"EBay spokeswoman Catherine England said the company doesn't keep track of how many winning bidders renege"

A fundamental problem with the system.

Rich

 

said it before ebay only cares about what you owe them thats it they ****

 

Who would want the General Lee in the first place?

I was the biggest Dukes fan in the country but still always thought they should have been driving a black '68 Chevelle with white rally stripes.

Rednecks.

I sure don't give a **** either way... let's get back to why we're here at the HAMB.

 

'Cuz at B-J, it would bring what it's worth- about $60k.

 

blah blah blah... no one ****ing cares

 

Are you sure about that? This guys seems pretty happy that he will have a second chance to bid on it.

 

He could always put iy on BJ. But then again that cost a bit more than 40 bucks.

 

To all of it....

YA ThINk??

 

I'd bet they keep records of all REPORTED incidents - it's a little way to skate the symantecs - they don't know about what's not reported - and if the reported numbers are good then why not publish them - probably if that info was public a lot of the sellers of higher end stuff would be turned off and go elsewhere.

That and the whole feedback thing is screwed up - I won an auction - buyer refused to sell item, after numerous attempts to pay and pick up item I filed a complaint, they said they couldn't make him sell or do anything, plus to top it off the seller had done this numerous times. I left negative feedback and he turs around and does the same - WTF?? - I complained about the retailatory feedback and they basicly said "too bad" - OK so I get a negative remark for doing what I would consider the "right" thing???
