$75k 1959 MG Midget

[capitalcitycars]

Someone has a starting bid of 75k for an 59 MG Midget on ebay:

Is this nuts or a good appraisal?

Dream on.

Looks like an A, still commom! Deluxe, Twin Cam, yet still sham

Well, since the picture is of an MGA, and the seller obviously doesn't know what they are talking about, I'd run from this one.
Scam, anyone?

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/iagree.gif with Jeff, very sketchy description, lack of pics or an offer to make pics available. ANd, this is the big one, No VIN number, i would think that ebay would require anyone selling a vehicle to at least know the vin of said vehicle.

My freinds 33 MG J2 went for less than that, and it was in better condition.

One of those idiots who has no clue what he owns...its a decent MGA worth a few thou! But some other idiot will buy it!

What a waste of an Ebay auction... but I might bid on it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonod.gif

Note the seller has just registered with ebay yesterday. Yeah, I'll fork out 75 large on your first sale.....
I wonder if there's a reserve?

 

[tony barnhill]

It almost looks like a scam - wonder how long ebay will let it run?

 

[Steve]

Yep, has "scam" written all over it.

I've sent "Shirley" an e-mail pointing out the obvious... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/nonono.gif

wonder what she'll say.... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

 

[capitalcitycars]

I sent Shirley an email Saturday and have not received a response yet.

Ho ho, a '59 Midget that looks just like an MGA for $75k? Must be some good crack shirley found. Can't imagine why there are no bids yet.

 

[Hap Waldrop]

Hey, 75 big ones could buy alot of crack /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I had to look because there are no 59 midgets.Definately somthing fishy or ignorant. But Tony.. only worth a few thou? I think I would buy every one I could get like that one,if only priced at a few thou.

 

[JamesWilson]

It is interesting, but you're right there's "Definately somthing fishy or ignorant." That, and I think a decimal point that's seriously misplaced....
