i think it will sell for......(consulting crystal ball, ouija board, etc.)......

$1650.00

(and for the seller's sake - hey, i do have a heart - i think it should really go for $2500.00. but this country's economy ain't going nowhere but down.)

My crystal ball says it will end up closer to $2000 than $1650.
My 8 ball says "maybe", when I ask if it will go over $2000.

Since the lighting struck, I've considered myself a Prophet. I'm thinking of starting my own church. We will worship Mercedes and consider driving vintage Models on Salted roads, a mortal sin.

You could up your max bid? No? Then I could add your seats to my truck and drive home via Wichita.

I'm sure work and the family wouldn't mind if I took a slight detour on the way home.

Just shows how no reserve action encourages people... Having a friend to shill helps.

Was it a legitimate buyer?

HA!

PSYCH!!!.....43 bids!

Going NR usually results in a higher final sales price. But not always, I was biting my nails in sympathy. I don't think starting the bidding out is technically shill bidding, not when your top bid is 1/10th the sales price. Shill bidding is wrong!

Tyler, $250? With your reputation, I'm sure that was a serious offer. Shill bid...LOL!

I wonder if the buyer is someone we know? Might be our next Forum member.

for the record, i had to promise to go in halves with tyler if he won; we might have gone the solomon solution when it came time to settle up, (you know, cut the baby in half ; he's thrifty, and i grow poorer by the minute.

So are you saying Tyler was so worried about the $250 outlay that he talked you into going halvsies?

I am very dissapointed to my loss. The car fetched a very good price considering the condition. Maybe there was some shilling going on though, but we'll see I suppose.

I'm trying to stay away from hard luck cases for a change. Its kind of nice to have sorted cars with paint still on them and no rust eating them away.

yes, but he should have been more worried about the $125.00 that i would have had to get by robbing old ladies.

seriously, tyler speaks the truth. that car has too many troubles for that price, in this market. (no offense to anyone - just one man's opinion.)

True, a bit over-priced by California standards, but it's expensive to get those solid California cars to Ohio. Plus 85s are the most sought after, so they tend to be expensive anywhere.
