Hi Dale, There was no buy it now. I think he got smart and made a deal with the highest bidder. He never gets so much money again for it! I guess...
Sort of like that red '66 I mentioned earlier. In subsequent listings, it has never been bid as high as it was the first time around. ($18,000? IIRC) After sticking to his guns with a buy it now price of $25,500, I'm sure many of those bidders won't even bother with it anymore.
