    WOW !!!!!!
    Well it only took seconds for the bidding to sail past my bid of $625,500.00.
    Just $50,00.00 shy of 2 million, truly amazing !
    Its a good thing the bidding stopped shy of 2 million, because the bidder that bought the Merc, was just about out of money, in his cash box !

    Oh hell yea - both buyer AND seller pay a fee.

    It’s kinda like ****y chili, you pay for it going in, you pay for it going out.

    10 percent for the buyer if they were in person, 12% if they were online.

    Considering Wayne Carini is the seller, and the publicity that this car is bringing to Me***, it wouldn't surprise me if the sellers fee has been waived. Or maybe they even paid him?

    The wealth-scale is a difficult thing for most to understand.

    $50k shy of $2M sounds like a whole ton of money, but it is all about perspective and context.

    Stogy is always a winner - hey, what is the prize that he won besides bragging rights - does his bid count if went over the actual selling price? but, when add in all of the Me*** fees actually went for a lot more

    A lot of these cars will be back on the auction block in the next few years…….

    I have no beef on how anybody spends their money as after all it’s their money.

    Most won’t be driven.
    A lot of them are part of investment portfolios.

    But what the heck - entertaining.

    All my cars and trucks just went up 100 Grand :D

    The Aztec should have gone through again … imagine back to back, I believe would have received Barry’s asking price

    This isn't The Price is Right! Whoever is closest wins.
