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?
 
:savewave:

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

How dumb was that...??

1979 MGB
 
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.
 
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.
 
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.
