I thought I saw this mentioned somewhere here recently; some guy in Malibu supposedly sold a '96 C36 for $10k, the theory being he didn't know how to set a reserve.

Turns out the seller (legally) scammed the auction. The main photo showed the C36 and AMG logos, but the description just said "1996 C Class" and the engine description was "I don't know" (curious for a claimed original owner of an AMG). The car was actually a C220; the buyer left a complaint in the feedback section, and I'm sure he won't close the deal ($10k for a '96 C220 with 99k is a bit much).

Be careful out there.
