Kevin, Kevin, Kevin, you mean to tell me Ragena has never used that line on you after a day of shopping at Nordstroms?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/tongue.gif[/img] Jim

Jim, you're going to get me in trouble, cuz if my wife "Wenona" finds out about "Ragena", I'm in trouble.

Re: Kevin Suydam Collection
 

I am some what confused with the buy backs on the no reserves. Do you get to refuse to take the winning bid and pay the fee to keep your car or do you bid to win on your own car and then pay the fee? [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Kevin Suydam Collection
 

The seller-owner would have to out bid other bidders and be winning bidder. Then pays the seller commision of 8% and the buyer commission of 8%. He would be out 16% and keep his car. I understand that is what the owner of the Purple RT Hemi did and he is out $25,000 buying his own car.

Re: Kevin Suydam Collection
 

So, does that mean that the car was currently bid to approx. $150k? If so, then he now has to get at least $175k, wonder what his mental reserve was?

Funny I think I saw Kevin and Sixtiesmuscle with Ragena at Vettefest a couple years ago. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Re: Kevin Suydam Collection
 

Marlin, I can't remember the exact amount of the RT Hemi's bid, but it's listed in the auction results as $183,280 which includes the 8% buyer premium, which says the actual bid was about $170,000. Add the 8% seller plus 8% buyer commission and he has now paid more like $26,500 in commissions. I think this would say he has to make a non-commission sale at $190,000 to $200,000 to come out the same as if he would've let it get sold at B/J.

Sorry Kevin and Wenona!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/blush.gif[/img] On behalf of LaDonna also since she confirmed my error!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/mad.gif[/img] Maybe it was Charley that was with Ragena!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Jim

Re: Kevin Suydam Collection
 

I heard at B/J that the Owner of the 1968 Chevelle SS Convertible with L-89 Al. head option had to buy his Chevelle back as well.The cars authenticity was in question,and he did not have a reserve on it.He did not want to sell it for the price it would have ended at.He paid 12K to show his car there and left with it.

Re: Kevin Suydam Collection
 

I think I would feel a little sick paying $25k to keep my own car. Bidding on your car to get the price higher doesn't seem right either. IMO there should be a Reserve, or if it's No Reserve, be prepared for the worst. I always use a reserve on my Ebay auctions on the items I don't want to give away! Just my opinion.
