Whats Wrong with This Picture

[Dave Richards]

A 1979 MGB for $1800...three hours before the end of the auction?

Is this the going rate for a '79 with 23,000 miles? Or will this go crazy just before the end.

I'm very tempted to bid on this, why shouldn't I?

Dave;
Watch closely and make a bid that is your highest offer you will make.
If there is a reserve, you will have to pass it to win.
GOOD LUCK

Dave

You didn't post a link to the auction for us to look at. Go back to the listing and look at the seller's profile. In addition to the usual rating number for their transactions, I believe you can somehow determine previous eBay names the seller may have used. If the person has a previous ID with a bad reputation, or no sales/purchase records with their current ID... there may be a reason no one is bidding on the car.

I believe he's talking about this one.

I wish I could go see it. A little late for that!

Were it closer, I'd bid on it at that price!

Yep, if that's the one you called me about, its a good deal at that price - if its what he`says it is & his feedback says he describes 'em pretty well.

 

[Dave Richards]

Thanks, Tony, that's the one I called about. However, one of his feed backs indicated he photo shopped pictures!!! It's a johnny come lately deal and a long way away, I'm going to pass.

Sure beats 45 K

Would have been a fine deal for someone semi-local. For those of us on the east coast adding $1000 shipping would take some of the excitement out of the purchase. Bob

Bart's "perfect" MGB was supposed to go for around $45k. I never heard what it sold for or even if it sold. It was featured in Classic Motorsports Magazine a couple of years ago.
