Oh the things on eBay

[thehackmechanic]

Does someone really think that it's reasonable to post an auction for a 2002 with a missing rear bumper and missing trim, with four poor photos and a seven-sentence two-paragraph description that says nothing about the condition of the body, from someone with zero feedback, and put a starting bid of $7000 (with reserve!) and a buy it now of $10,000?

Apparently so.

Might I also add: A 2002 is not a "roadster". Dude should look it up.

Guy knows what he is talking about:

"4-speed roadster... original black leather interrior, dials & switches, butterfly windows, etc. Minor adjustments needed, if desired, to bring the '73 gal up to modern standards such as A/C. has minor wiring issues which do not interfere with driving."

Sounds like a deal to me. I have been looking for the 02 with the original leather interior for a while now. I thought they were red interior & polaris paint 02’s. I must be wrong.

I love the minor work needed for air conditioning line. Now that is classic.

People jump on the band wagon when they see a car that is worth it demand higher prices. They must say hey, I have one of those and that one went for 35K

I'll see if I can go see this one. I won't be home until the middle of next month, but it will be on its 2nd relist by that time, as I can't see it selling at that price.

All he needs is one idiot & he's golden. Beware of the Franken-bimmer!

from what we can see here what would someone pay for this? i'm not saying an idiot, but rather a 2002 enthusiast
