Ping, It was me, there is another guy that makes his first bid at over 10 million and I just fill in the stops. I do it as much as I can but you need two people to bid it up.

Sounds like a great idea. Perhaps we can collectively bring one of these up to match the current bailout.

I didn't think anyone wanted to tackle the true money value of their corvette... now vs four years ago. With 800 billion in bailouts, a new high for unemployment, two wars we can't seem to step out of, and a president with the forcast of a twelve year old your ( our ) cars have definately taken a nose dive. Except for a few high rollers impressing their wives or girl friends at auctions this is reality. It is a up and down sliding scale at which time we are definately picking up speed. Bye the way... anyone read the forcast for GM and look at their stock prices ?

Default ebay scams

If It sounds wrong it is. I bought a car that was listed on ebay ,some months later my car with pictures shows up on ebay. Seller making claims of it being his car. I contacted ebay of scam and placed a bid on the car for $250,000 hoping to be contacted by seller, so I could pinch this bastard. I think what his hope was to get a deposit made on car and make that amount. ebay pulled it before he contacted me
