It was a 0 feedback bidder.. he email the guy as soon as the auction ended and said he couldnt afford it...lol. i think the guy was jsut bidding but really didnt think he would win.. im glad he did though because i would have won it for $21,500 instead the guy relisted it and i got ti for $18,900 so that saved me $2,600 !!!!

I bought my car off ebay last summer and got an outstanding deal with no reserve. I traveled 1000+ miles one way over the 4th of July weekend down to Florida to pick it up.

Had my vacation in the south and came back with a Vette, doesn't get much better than that.

I seen about 25 photos and the seller was very honest and when I seen the car in person it was better than described.

Great job.

Winning on Ebay and actually getting the car for that price are 2 very different things.

Make sure you have a clear (NOT SALVAGE) title in hand before you fork over the $$$

Good luck.
