Possible Yenko SOLD on e-bay.....

[Clint_69]

Here is the story. I, like others, saw Brian's post about the car. I too have some Yenko numbers and saw on my list that the car in question did not belong to Mark H. Seeing that the auction had stopped, I emailed the seller my telephone number and stated that if the high bidder did not want the car, to please give me a call. He responded to me, just like he did Brian and stated that the car was still for sale and that the high bidder had backed out. The seller emailed me his phone number and told me to contact him if I was interested. I woke up this morning to the seller calling ME. He asked if I was interested in the car and we struck the deal. I immediately went to my office and faxed him the purchase agreement (signed by both the seller and myself)and gave him a large deposit on the car. In several conversations I have had with hime today, he has received other phone calls of people offering to buy the car. After every phone call that he has received, he has called me back letting me know what was going on and at this point he refuses to release any information about the car or the transaction. He stated that he feels bagered. He has told me not to sweat it, that the car is mine, he has my money, he signed the agreement and the only way he would give someone else the opportunity to buy is if I do not go through with the transaction. Obviously, I will not pass on the deal. If you choose to call him back Brian, and I am sure you will,he will tell you it is not for sale, period!. My understanding is that he told you, that unless I backed out, this car is not for sale. When you posted this in an open forum, I acted on it and anyone who read it had an equal opportunity. I am greatful to have purchased the car but I would suggest keeping this information low key if you are actively pursuing a deal. As I have said before, this site is a GREAT resource for information. So I guess I owe you a thanks. So thanks! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]

Clint are you quickrod1?

It sounds like Clint is not QuickRod,BUT if QuickRod backed out on his bid the seller can legally make a deal with Clint,so for the rest of us "It's all over but the cry'n!!"

Hmmmm, so Clint, you weren't the high bidder on Ebay, but you contacted him first asking if the deal fell through that you would be 2nd in line. The Ebay bidder will be bumming when he finds out what he could have had. My comment about the incorrect paperwork still has merit since the numbers are mixed up. I understand that Brian was just looking out for Mark's interest and incorrect paperwork and number transformation caused that. Still a great story of a found Yenko.

Wouldn't the second ebay bidder be entitled to have the first shot? As for Brians concern on the car, he felt that the car in question belonged to Mark H. He was concerned to bid on the car untill he talked to Mark. He thought the ebay car may have been using a VIN number inaccuratly. His overly cautious feeling look like it may have backfired. His first concern was for Mark, not for the car in question...BKH

LOL...The Second Bidder didn't quite Bid enough.

[Jeff H]

The only "contract" through Ebay would be with the high bidder that meets the reserve. I hope the seller got a signed statement from the high bidder saying he was backing out of the deal or he could come back and claim it. As we have found out in the past, a verbal agreement doesn't seem to hold any value. As much as I hope Clint does get the car, the high bidder on Ebay has a legal, binding contract.

I can see it now....people e-mailing Quickrod to tell him to get the car and they will give him more !!! LOL..what a great hobby.

Shouldn't the email from the high bidder be record enough that he didn't want the car.

Clint, thanks for clearing the air about what really went down. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/scholar.gif[/img]

As per Brian, I think he deserves an apoligy or two. After all, he discovered the car, shared his discovery with he rest of us, and ended up getting bashed over it, when all he was doing was trying to protect Kevin's/Mark"s interest, as Brian thought the car in question was their car. Hang in there Brian. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beers.gif[/img]
