Smoking deal.

 

Wonder what the story is on the Polaris car next to it?

It's now on Ebay for a lot more than $3900.

That's insane! I talked to the original seller, it sold right away to a guy from northern Virginia. Funny how the eBay seller couldn't even be bothered to take new photos and just reused the Craigslist ones.

At least a new buyer will have lots of room to negotiate [emoji3]

"Usual rust spots" "500 miles on rebuilt engine"... that hasn't been run in 28 years. Could be a nightmare. And after restoration costs does not support square prices. Don't mind someone turning for a quick buck but lord knows what you are buying!

Ok, Seller has ended & restarted the auction with no "Buy it now".

Lol the saga continues!

I was going to offer $3901 but it had already been converted today when I thought about it.

Interested to see where it ends up.

I saw the auction get up to $8,100 but now it has been removed "because the item has been lost or broken" 

I'm guessing he got a suitable offer to end it early outside of ebay.

Quite a few end that way. I wonder if it's to avoid paying the Ebay fee?

Yes, I'm sure that is a common driving factor given the current ebay fee structure. Another aspect might be the offer is good enough for the seller to be happy, and maybe higher than he thinks a second bidder will go to drive the price up to that point.

 

If I were in the sellers position, buying and flipping a car in a couple of days for $4k+ with out having to go get/transport/etc, I'd be happy and call it a day. ?

It's back...….seemingly by the original Seller. The plot thickens!
