Here's how not to sell a car, pretty much anywhere online. #1 book is half the open bid, and it has a reserve? Shoot, there's 6 of these in junkyards here, maybe I should go get one. Too much Barrett Jackson watching I suppose. Read the questions for some real fun. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4607346938
if you look at the bidder's previous activity, he is buying junkyard parts for a late model chevy silverado, 30 bucks here, 20 bucks there. i seriously doubt he's a player on this car. he's probably the seller's buddy trying to 'pump up' the auction. i can't find the bidder's location to see if it is close to the seller's. that's usually a dead give away, and a common mistake made by dishonest e-bayers. by the way, this is the seller's first time on e-bay, that would make me nervous as a buyer...
I think both of them are idiots. I NEVER buy anything from someone with zero feedback- I don't care how good of a deal is...let alone some overpriced car I haven't even seen up close nor can he verify the mileage....for FORTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS....
They are prolly buddies. Great first auction. No feedback. He's a meathead. I'll give him $19.95. But wait, that's not all......I'll also kick him in the *** for being a meathead.
Says the bidder is in Washington: http://motors.search.ebay.com/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrppZ25QQs***Zpiercer0723
Bidder could almost be someone on here, he's had a '59 Dodge and a nice '52 Fleetline if you check his ME page. Could also be goofy, but with a reserve his bid is safe from actually having to buy anything. "Which moter is in the car?" "stock" .. okay which one? There were 3 V8's that year... The one justifying the price is amusing too.
"MOTER" "PICTYURES" wtf? are there a gang of 2nd graders watching this auction? that price is OUTRAGEOUS! although, that is one of many of the cl***ics i would love to own one day.
yeah! a guy who's selling three cars that total maybe five grand is gonna buy one for nearly fifty?... don't think so.
Pete, take that back saying you will kick his *** for being retarded.You call yourself a flathead guy?
so.......he won't add any more pics, won't tell anyone what engine is in it, and he is asking 1.5 times what the car is worth. speed channel must be stoped the barrett-jackson auction has made this poor guy retarded!
ALL ORIGINAL - WAS NOT DRIVEN IN THE RAIN - WAS KEPT INDOORS - ONLY PREVIOUS OWNER WAS MY FATHER - 26K MILES - ORIGINAL MOTOR IS UNDER THE HOOD - TRYING TO GET INFO FROM DMV TO VERIFY MILEAGE-----MY JUSTIFICATION IS THAT IT'S IN GREAT CONDITION, THERE WEREN'T THAT MANY BUILT THAT YEAR, AND IF YOU WANT IT YOU'LL PAY THE PRICE!!! i wonder how they verifiyed it was never driven in the rain...but who cares, cause if you want it you WILL PAY THE PRICE, BIATCH!!!!
This is too funny... I go check out the auction and it is my wife's insane freakin cousin's husband selling the car... It is in good shape. His dad was the original owner and the mileage is correct...not a hemi car....That guy is nuts... He asked me what it was worth when his dad died.. He told me he would never sell the car... I guess he needs more crack now...He just sold off his dad's house and blew all the money from it...I am positive it is a sock puppet bid from one of his buddies....I gotta keep an eye on this....EVILT
There's another guy with a '57 Dodge 4dr with a D500 hemi in it... seems reasonable at $4000 until you look closer. He's keeping a bunch of stuff for his convertible and 2dr hardtop projects, and has Poly heads on the engine - but is leaving the rare D500 block. Supposedly the car has a HD frame and suspension. Nice obnoxious responses to the questions on it, too. My book claims a production of around 500 for the '57 D-500 and at that all in 2drs and convertibles. What kind of guy just hacks up an (apparently) old cop car? Those are super rare... I can find 20 or 30 57-59 Dodges in junkyards here, probably all the parts he needs and then some, except 325 Hemi heads. item 4607476591 - I think that's half the entertainment of looking at eBay - all the idiots either selling cars or asking stupid questions and being obnoxious to sellers.
Only one photo and he's not putting up anymore, what the digital ran outa film ?? hope thats the bad side you can see then......
Ha Ha! If it's true and the car really is what it says, I can see it being worth that much to him {his dads} but jeeze, who would bid for that much???
Yeah. The sad thing on this one is there's a good possibiility it was a real police patrol car, which 4-doors or not would make it probably one of less than a dozen, if not the only one, around. This guy doesn't give a damn because it's a 4-door. There's probably guys that would kill for something like that - you just can't find them anymore.
You read my mind!!!! They must be some good drugs he be smokin!!! If I had a connection to them kinda drugs I could make serious cash and drive a $44 k car like DAT!!!!
Anyone who goes by a name "piercer" in their ebay name is an obvious tool! Anyway there isn't a piercer out there that makes any money anymore! Its all down to imbred third cousins who didn't have a steady enough hand to hold onto a tattoo gun that they bought out of Huck Spaldings with some needles that they got from the speed-dealer artist with bad teeth and a hell of a mullet! You know the kind of people I'm talkin about, the ones that'll make you feel ripped off for the five dollar bill you gave him to pierce your belly
