Re: ZL-1 # 40 on Ebay
I do not believe that the bidder is genuine. I bet that he is a buddy of the "seller". Just don't smell right.....

Re: ZL-1 # 40 on Ebay
My opinion is the seller is perhaps using this auction to draw attention to his business and his other auctions on Ebay. With a $3/4 million starting bid, it gets talked about in forums on all the car websites. For all we know the reserve is $10 million and there is not intention to sell and the bidders have no intention of buying. I think it would be at BJ in a few months if it was really going to be sold, but that's just my opinion.

Re: ZL-1 # 40 on Ebay
What would the Ebay sellers fee be if it did sell? On most of my auctions, they charge between 5% - 7% of the sales price. That could be $30,000 to $50,000! You can buy a decent original musclecar for that.

Re: ZL-1 # 40 on Ebay
There are those who have called me paranoid and skeptical and even worse. But there is no way that bid is genuine IMHO. Did ZL-1s double overnight?
Or does someone think that because a 7000 mile repainted HEMI cuda with a NOM engine sold for 700K at the recent Mecum auction that a ZL-1 should now be 800K?????

Re: ZL-1 # 40 on Ebay
I'm not sure what Ebay you use but the one I use charges a flat 40.00 insertion fee and an additional transaction fee of 40.00 if the car sells. Ebay does not charge a % of the sells price. Ebay Motor Fees

Cars used to be the same way... alot of ebay newbies don't realize that, but up until a few years ago ebay took a percentage of whatever the selling price was for cars... Anyone remember ebay with no pictures? hard to imagine buying stuff sight unseen, but I bought (and sold) alot of stuff that way back in the early days.

Re: ZL-1 # 40 on Ebay
Ya know,I think the bid is legit.The bidder has 4627 positive feed backs,I don't think he would jeopardize his e-bay business for a scam. Come on Let's see the first MILLION dollar Camaro.If I had it I would buy it,Scott Tieman, It must be very nice.
