This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    It's a great looking car, but you have to keep in mind that it's a 4 door. I don't mind a 4 door car....my LeSabre was a 4dr and I loved having the extraroom to get in and out! They just don't grab the money that you may expect from even a nice car like this.

    Just my .02....

    If it was in St. Louis, I'd probably hop on it instantly. Not into buying cars right now though. I need to concentrate on what I have:grin:

    Estate sale? Looks like the kind of car the mob drove in the day... was there a picture of the trunk?

    Not getting that many views and so far 0 bids.

    Somewhat Odd.

    Well, it's a 4dr. It's a hardtop. There are no engine pics or description of mechanical condition. Starting bid is way too high. He should have a low starting bid, and use a reserve price to protect himself.

    That being said, I like the car, but wouldn't spend that money for a hardtop 4dr car.

    That's because the first bid probably meets the reserve and buys the car. 95% of the bidders on ebay probably don't win, they just like to bid, or want to win really cheap.

    If you were the 5% that wanted to win this car, you could just buy it now for $3,750. If that's too much, but you still want the car, there isn't a lot of room between the starting price and the buy it now price, so you might as well wait to bid until the very last minute. Why bid early? Usually people bid early before the reserve is met.

    The only other reasons for a serious buyer to bid early on a car with no reserve or when the reserve is met is that a) the can't bid at the last minute for some reason or b) they are afraid that if there aren't any bids, the seller may end it early.

    Can't really think of many other reasons if you were really trying to win the car (or other item).....


    If you really wanted to buy a "no reserve" car, then contact the seller and make them offer to end it early. That's what I did for my 71 Skylark Convertible. You will probably end up paying a little more than what the starting price/current price is, but you eliminate the risk of the price making a sudden run up at the end of the auction.

    Just my two cents...
