Modelmartin Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 It is all academic but I would not want to own anything put together on a TV show. Most of those guys are clowns and I am not impressed with their wiz-bang work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobthehobbyguy Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 No typo Harry, this morning when I made the post the car was up at over 200,000 dollars. The bid history must have been deleted with the fraudulent bids. It was 200k. If you look at the bottom of the bidlist there is a list of retracted and cancelled bids. One of them was 200k. 0k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't scroll down. But how is it possible that so many bids were cancelled? Obviously something suspicious was going on here... right?

Obviously something suspicious was going on here... right? I would guess some fans thought it would be funny to see Richard lose his mind when he saw what his 20,000 dollar mustang was going for. Hopefully there will be some reprocussions for fraudulent bidding like that, why someone would do that is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 You can retract your bid but by ebay rules if you entered the wrong amount your required to enter another bid. The retracted bidders could have their accounts canceled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 $51,000+ for THAT??? For that kind of money, I could have most of my debt (student loans and a couple of remnants of unemployment canceled. Gas Monkey? I have another word in mind that rhymes with "gas" and is also the variant of a mule. And people wonder why I don't watch these shows...it's akin to feeding a hyper five-year-old more sugar.

charlie8575 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Yeah, I figure I could get a girlfriend for a couple of years, at least. Probably several, if you sweet-talked them with manufacturing... This one went a little over my head? Or are you suggesting that the manufacturing would keep the money rolling in? And manufacturing what?

Ace-Garageguy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 This one went a little over my head? Or are you suggesting that the manufacturing would keep the money rolling in? And manufacturing what? Charlie Larkin It's a running joke Harry started after I mentioned on a thread about cluelessness that I'd once met a pretty but brainless girl in a bar, who had no idea of the concept of "manufacturing". She honestly believed the things in the mall were "just there", and her awareness needed to go no further. Harry remarked that my pickup-chat about manufacturing may be responsible, at least in part, for my incredible success with women. (Which is why I'd likely have to pony up $200,000 to get a girlfriend for a couple of years.) Anyway, I may have recently come across one of the girl's internet posts, admonishing those who hunt meat for food. She vehemently suggested that they "should just GO TO THE STORE, WHERE MEAT IS MADE, AND NO ANIMALS HAVE TO SUFFER !!!" Seems like she may be getting a handle on manufacturing after all.

Dave Van Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 I like this car MORE than I would a BOSS or Mach1.....it's DIFFERENT. When I take my 73 Javelin to a show.....I am almost ALWAYS the only Javelin.....everyone else is a AMX. But it MIGHT be a $15,000 Mustang.......maybe someone is dyslexic?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

bobthehobbyguy Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Right up there with the person that bought a bunch of tv dinners to stock up for y2k. As far as 51k for the car a classic example that something is worth only what somebody is willing to pay for it.

vamach1 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I have a real 72 Mach1 and it's not worth half of what that fastback sold for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
