Re: GMMG CAR ON EBAY
So let me get this straight...
"Kratchmer" made the original post from Carnahan's computer, yet Carnahan (kamaroking) allegedly didn't know what was happening. So, Murphy plays along and builds up the car and provides contact info, to which "Kratchmer" replies back, still playing the part of "interested party". He evens states he "has bid on it". He's right about that, as he bid on it 2 days ago (12-9-2003). A quick check on Ebay reveals that one other person has bid, that being "hugger66", which is Matt Murphy.
So, you've got an employee of GMMG selling a car, the owner of GMMG bidding on it, and a "friend" of BOTH parties also bidding on it. Does this look like the workings of a legitimate auction? What if an innocent and LEGITIMATE party had placed a bid? Would they have quit bidding, seeing as the auction is (and has been for some time) out of there respective price ranges? Is this standard practice for ALL GMMG cars that "sell" on Ebay? Is shill bidding now "acceptable"?
I guess all of this just strikes me as "funny". Just a few short days ago Carnahan basically "thumbed his nose" at this site and it's admin/moderators. His first posts on this site were an attack on another member who had concerns about a car HIS company built, followed by an off-hand remark about filling out his profile. All my offline efforts yielded was me hearing about how "he knew he was right" and how he cares "more about the truth and the cars", or how he'd "built over 700 cars" and wanted "off the site" and would "never post again". But, when it comes to selling his car, guess which site he/they choose(s)? I'll give you a hint: it wasn't LS1Tech or LS1.com....
