Phil, I never assumed or said anything about the car being bought to be flipped. All I said was that I have never flipped a car for a profit. We obviously don't know what has really transpired here so we would only be guessing.

i can tell you right now this deal was not done at 6am! my cell phone (which the owner said was the 2nd # he called this morning) says says 6:27 CST. i probally will never forget missing that call! i was up to take a whiz, heard my cell ringing and wondered "who the bleep is calling me at 6 in the morning"? my cell goes to voicemail after 2 rings. i ran downstairs to only miss the call by a split second. i called back immediatly and every half hour until 10am when he answered. i guess its double irony cause if i'm not up to take a whiz i dont hear the cell. which is kind of like rubbing salt in the wound. 2nd call back.... AHH S**T!

I didn't mean you, Jeff. I meant Hawaiian Camaro Jeff. Sorry for the confusion.

I am telling you that the offer to give more than asking price was made at 6 am this morning. I don't know what the seller is thinking or doing, but 6 am was when the larger offer was made and accepted. Everything after that, in my opinion, is the seller following the smell of money.

Guys, can you imagine this? You are cleaning out your attic. You run across a painting of some sea-scape. You know it is an original and that the painter was very good, but not much else. So, you think to yourself--"heck, I'll ask $200 for this thing. It should bring that?" Then, news of your painting gets out to the artsy-fartsy world and your phone goes nuts!! 6 am your phone rings and you talk to a guy who will give you way more than you are asking for it, so you say "heck yes-- DONE!"....BUT you continue to get these calls from everyone and thier dogs who are willing to fight over it. Crap, gotta go to work because we are down 1,000 units at the factory-- can't deal with this now. When you went to bed last night all you had was a car you thought you could get some money for instead of it continuing to sit and gather dust. Now, today you have some pretty heavy hitters FIGHTING over your car and willing to get into a bidding war over it-- and the denominations are enough to pay off your friggin' house. All the while thinking, man-- how much could I have gotten for this on eBay?

Yep, blood in the water. A feeding frenzy. How disapointing it is to witness this "all about the money" attitude on this site!
When it's all over, everybody's going to hate the seller and the eventual buyer. Nobody's going to appreciate the CAR!!!!!! ONLY the MONEY.
It's SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The seller is not the culprit. He sold the car to someone for profit, real or fake its gone. Are people upset because they lost an oppurtunity to make money or because they really wanted to drive a BM Nova? I wish I had bought a number of stocks before they took off, but I didn't. Like Verne said, the feeding frenzy continues.

I personally can say that I won't hate anyone after this deal regardless of outcome. I am personally excited to see if the car is real or not.....and the beauty of all this is. A person who purchased the car 20 years ago will be the real beneficiary. See my point?

Did i miss something? when the number is called, i get mailbox not yet set up. How did anyone talk to this guy? I think there is alot of BS in this thread, and some may say things to lead others to believe it is sold to by themselves time to make the deal. Just my take......... Roger

It's over my head how he has his car stored with his friends so called valuable cars etc. and he is acting like he's been living on the darkside of the moon about the B/M or Motion cars .....
