No, looks like he just put the ad in again on Christmas eve. It has 1 day and 12 hours until it expires with NO BIDS. Huh, can ya imagine? People really have to show some restraint to not jump all over this deal.
Guess it's the economy..........if Wall Street hadn't collapsed, I'm sure he would have sold it by now.
Years ago, when I lived in Florida, the local DeLorean dealer ran a full page newspaper ad showing a pic of a DeLorean and 50 2 liter bottles of Coca-Cola with the line:
"Buy a DeLorean and get 100lbs of coke.....FREE!"
While I highly doubt John found the humor in it, just about everyone else thought it was FUNNY!!!!
It could be like the Playstation consoles that some tried to sell on eBay for about a 1 million dollars. One said he would dress like Santa Claus and his wife would dress like Mrs. Claus and the kids would dress like elves and would personally deliver the console to you. I do not know if it sold. It was when the console was hard to find.
It is a way of selling the car behind ebay's back. You (potential buyer) contact the seller directly and negotiate and close the deal off ebay so it saves a bundle in the the "final value" fee paid to ebay. I personally know a few sellers who use this method on ebay. They (ebay) are restructuring their fees to overcome this.
Ad says the selling price was revised.....he most likely sold the car and then revised the add so no one would bid on it by jacking up the price. Who would be foolish enough to bid 1M. If no one bids....does he still have the ads costs?
If you can Pay $1mil I don't think you care about shipping, And I think you would want someone you "trust" to pick it up for you to keep it and what is hidden in it safe.
I could imagine.
"hey you, buy my Smart for 1mil! The windows are solid diamond, the tridion cell and rims are platinum. there is a tailgate and several compartments filled with coke. The engine runs on sun. And it transforms into a submarine like 007's"
Some thing like that would be from Q's used car lot. It would be one way to finance all the cool stuff James Bond gets. Don't forget the computer guided missille and gun system.
