'69 Rally Green Yenko on Ebay

[Racefan]

SHill bidding is against all the rules on eBay and if found out is grounds for removal as an eBay user. Also, something else that comes to mind is that if you need shill bidders to "get the prices to the actual market value".....maybe what you think is market value isn't? Buddies bidding on an item to drive up the price does not set value-- real bids from real people willing to lay green in your hands in the amount of the bid does.

So much for "we are in this for the hobby and the true love of the cars".

Yes Tom !! Thats the way they should do it !! Its the same way a reserve Auction works. I know you dont agree. I bet the next Yenko Camaro with ALL the Pedigree I bring out will be getting hit by his #, that it ended at. $200KThis is the # people will remember. Everybody knows he wants more then that,now he needs to bump him up to what he will really take now. But the rest of the world saw $200K. Im just trying to help a member here who needs to sell his car.I dont see a problem with a guy wanting 300K and a bidder is sitting at 180 to bring it up and see where the guy falls out.Somebody running up a car when they have the money and making the guy pay more( I dont agree with that)

[/ QUOTE ]Rich- this is wrong on soooo many levels. If you want to benchmark at a magic number....don't start your bid below that number. It simply is not right in any circumstance to put in fake bids on an item to drive up the cost. That is the risk you take when you auction something....I am sure you would not have a problem with it if you were the one trying to bid on/win an item?

I don't usually post too much regarding these issues but man this statement really got under my skin. Let me just make sure I understand where your coming from. Its okay to shill bid when your hard up on cash and need to sell the car at a higher $$. But its not okay if you have plenty of $$ and really don't need to sell? Something is really wrong here. If this person really, really needs to sell the car then take the $200K and be done with it. Is that the true market value?...maybe it is? Thats the risk you take when you make an investment. Leave the shill bidding out of it as your just falsely inflating the market price to suit your own needs. If he can't afford a loss on it then wait until Spring when the market might be better.

You guys are making me laugh !!
I can say I have NEVER used e-bay or any auctions for my clients or myself. I very rarely even touch a car after its been on e-bay.
People are shill bidding EVERYDAY on these auction sites and if any of you have bought cars or parts,its been done to you.
I have sold over 20 Yenko cars and I never needed to use these venues.. Pedigree cars SELL without these places.

Sorry if you dont agree with what I told Jude !!!

I do agree with most of you..

This Rally Green Camaro has "green line" S/W gauges in it vs others I have noted having "deluxe" S/W gauges. Which is correct, or is this a result of cars being sold from different dealerships?

[camarojoe]

Yenko used a variety of SW pedestal tachs, underdash gauges, etc. There's no single "correct" setup.
