Did anyone else notice on the eBay listing that the tickets include a "tour of an area auto museum on the morning of Friday, July 19"? I wonder if this is the Marconi Auto Museum...

What fool would pay that kind of money for a Corvette reveal?

I bid to $5,000 today...we'll see about tomorrow. Why would I keep bidding? Everything over the actual value of the package is a tax deductible contribution to the NCM.

I honestly don't care what the reveal holds. The C8 isn't worth a dime past "General Admission" fare to any other Expo.
What is that, $15.00 - $50.00?
The 2008 IAA Car Show in Frankfurt, Germany was outstanding. The Lamborghini Reventon was featured (as well as many other cars in incredible show displays) and even THAT didn't exceed $35.00 or so for admission.
And the Reventon is a much more prestigious work of art than the C8 could amount to.
Just saying.
If I were in the area (which I am not), I would be willing to pay maybe $25.00 if this reveal were among a huge showing of new and future vehicles. But $25.00 to see a new C8 as a stand alone introduction? I don't think so.

The reveal tickets are tranferable? Seems doubtful.
