Would you bid on this car?

Does this guy think anyone is going to bid on this? Note he's been a member for almost 4 years, but no feedback.

I hate it when people list **** like that. They give no picture and absolutely nothing worth reading in the description... If anyone bids they are on crack like the seller.

This may work to your advantage.. people see this ad and just move on. Take time to email the seller, get his phone number and ask to get some photos. Certainly don't bid on the car with no further information.

If I were in the area and could ride over to see it I would check it out. The guy does not have a clue how to sell a car but he does have a fine automobile available for sale. What kind of condition can't be determined without a good visual inspection. May be an old person who has owned the car since new but is clueless. It would be worth the ride over to check it out if it were within 40 miles.

If he lists it again in a few months I'll be in MO, yell at me and I'll go look.


That has to be about the worst description I've ever seen though.
Why even bother?

Kind of ironic - this guy is from the "show me" state.

Yeah I'd bid on it and then I'd pay him with bills that have no printing on them. See example below.
