Here we go again

He should either take the cash or take it off and give it a real restoration then try again

Hate ppl who do that #OOPS#. Probably his mate bidding to make ppl look interested.

Well by the looks of what he wants for it I hope his mate wants to buy a two door sedan coz he'll be the only one who will reach his "reserve"

This is on gumtree now for 8k . I think that's a pretty fair price . Seems to be a pretty complete car.

Hopefully who ever gets the old girl restores her to her former glory and doesn't leave it to rot away in their shed

It has a buy it now price of 6g....

Interesting...

So whoever was jacking the price up to 7.6k obviously wasn't a legit bidder I assume?

This has suss written all over it.

Current listing found. here.

Shill bidding for sure but mostly bluff bids.

here is how it goes:

- Seller gets told he's got a rare coupè.
- Seller lists using reserve feature to get best price.
- Bidders wanting to identify the reserve throw false bids down and inflate the already unrealistic selling price.
- Auction ends with apparently lots of activity but no sale.
- Seller now convinced he is selling a golden unicorn.
- Seller lists again and the cycle repeats, genuine bidders lose interest.
- seller realises unrealistic price and lowers the reserve but by now the auction stinks of suspectos.
- Seller now has the false bidders dropping bids like it's their weekend bender on the pingaz.

-Auction eventually ends with the seller frustrated with the process and the buyer turns out to be some oaf who wants to "dooidup" and bang some modern motor in it with a paint job reminiscent of a deep sea fishing lure.

All parties unhappy, genuine buyers lose the opportunity and a good classic goes to the chop chop to become a boring half arsed turd.

What a shame.........

Someone prove my prediction wrong!

From a frustrated, genuine bidder of auction number 2 of 10, max bid of $5300, now not interested.

There is another one for sale on gumtree in QLD for $25k negotiable.
Looks really good.
