I bet he paid 50K for it and is trying to flip it for a quick profit

What could go wrong?

Kyle Blackmore · #78 04-07-2010, 03:14 PM

So the bidding ended and nobody tried to buy it? Don't you guys know how rare this car was? I would have but I already have a 126 that's underpowered

Yep, nobody bid, guess he's not the "player" he thought he was!

The price of my 83 280SL has been adjusted to $110,000.

He's come down to Earth a bit:

He must have figured out that a lot of people were wise to his attempt to F@(k people out of money so he knew he couldn't run his scam on anyone.

Score one for us good folks who rubbed his nose in it

Freakin' hilarious!!!!

I call first bid!! I'm driving that puppy home for $200!!!

....actually, I bet the reserve is still set at 100K...

TylerH860 · #84 04-08-2010, 06:59 PM

Oh my... I sent him a link to a 280sel that hattie saw on ebay a while ago. It was a cherry car with only 70,000 miles. Sold for around $6000. Is that what he's referring to?

He also seems to think automatics are more desirable than 5 speeds..

" FOR ALL YOU, (THINK YOU KNOW IT ALL) CRITICS, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW NICE THIS CAR IS! SOMEONE SHOWED ME ONE, THAT WAS A PIECE OF JUNK COMPARED TO THIS ONE, FOR LITTLE MONEY. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY, AFTER LOOKING AT THAT ONE. PLUS, THAT ONE IS NOTHING LIKE THIS ONE. (1984 5SP, NOWHERE NEAR AS NICE, NOT A 1985, EXTREMELY CLEAN CONDITION, AUTOMATIC) NO COMPARISON! SO, WHOEVER SENT ME THAT, DOESN'T KNOW A GREAT CAR WHEN HE SEES IT! DON'T LISTEN TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL, THEY DON'T. I FOUND OUT, THERE ARE TONS OF WHINERS OUT THERE, WHO THINK THEY ARE EXPERTS. OUR GOVERNMENT HAS SO CALLED EXPERTS?? & LOOK WHAT GOES ON WITH THEIR IRRESPONSIBLE BUDGETS. GET THE PICTURE??? I KNOW I COULD PERSONALLY FIX THE BUDGET WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. IT IS A REAL SIMPLE SOLUTION, DON'T PISS AWAY MORE THAN YOU TAKE IN! WE OUGHT TO VOTE OUT OF OFFICE, ALMOST EVERY SORRY ASS POLITICIAN CURRENTLY IN OFFICE. OUR LEGISLATURE COULDN'T LEGISLATE IT'S WAY OUT OF A PAPER F'IN BAG!!! & THESE PEOPLE ARE SUPPOSEDLY SMART??? WHAT A F'IN JOKE!!! I AM OPENING UP THE BIDDING, SOMEONE WILL GET AN EXTREMELY GREAT DEAL FOR THIS UNBELIEVABLE CAR! ANYONE WHO CRITICIZES THIS CAR, YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT. DO ALL OF US INTERESTED PERSONS A FAVOR & KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. GO LOOK IN THE MIRROR & CRITICIZE YOURSELF, I AM SURE YOU NEED IT."

It would seem that way... I believe we may have made an impression on that fellow...

Wonder if he will still include the 'original' sheepskins.

JohnM. · #86 04-08-2010, 07:18 PM

WOW. I like how almost the entire ad now, except for four lines or so is a diatribe against all of the critics, haters, even manages to go into a tirade against the government. Nice. Take out mostly all the info about the car and replace it with a crazy f*cking rant, that will totally get it sold better than before.

Good job on rattling this guys marbles though, we definitely turned on his crazy switch.

This is how I picture the guy.

I'd post the email reply the guy sent me, it's about 150 words long. After I edit out all the swear words it would be down to about 12 words, and half of those are misspelled.

What, you mean they aren't? How come nobody told me?

Well I hope you tons of whiners are happy! See what you've done to this poor man?

smiffy6four · #89 04-09-2010, 07:40 AM

Notice how the bidding is private? That's so you can't see him bidding on his own car. So, that means if there is a legitimate bidder, he can run up the bids himself?

cmbdiesel · #90 04-09-2010, 09:56 AM

Looks like I am still the high lonesome bidder... 200 bucks...
