71 Twin Turbo for Sale #2016

Thought this car was sold for under $45000?
Why is it back on Ebay now with a starting bid on $45000?? (Looks like a steal). Just suspicious about things on the internet, like you US citicens is suspicious about us international buyers.
Wonderings from Norway

looks as there was no deal at all....starting bid 45K, buy it now 48K... as if that makes THE difference.... ??? but again, i can imagine there are alot of joyriders "bidding" on Ebay....

Unfortunately Ebay is rife with bidders who have no intention of following through on the deal. They seem to ignore the fact it is supposed to be a binding contract and use it as a game. Ebay has little to now power to enforce and the bidders can be anywhere in the World.

At PI Motorsports, we use eBay! regularly but hardly ever sell a car on the auction website. We have had many deals fail to materialize when the buyer thinks he can now start inspecting the car and then refuse it or re-negotiate the price. The asking price on this car seems fair and if anything low but for eBay! the price is quite high in that most bidders hope to literally steal the car.
We have nearly a perfect record earned over 16 years selling Panteras and in sponsoring this Forum as well. We invite owners considering selling their cars to give us a call or drop us an email. We have proven repeatedly that even after our contingent fee is paid, the seller ends up with more than if they had tried to sell the car themselves and with far less grief. Checking our webpage at: www.pim.net you can see that some cars we have listed have sold in a matter of days or weeks. We would enjoy serving more DeTomaso Community and club members.

Everyone knows the e in e-bay stands for evil. I told you guys it is bad news now a days. If anything think of it as a free add that runs for a week. As with all things evil, one should proceed with utmost caution and would be better off shunning it completely.
Just my opinion.

Did the car sell?

Yes it did. He relisted it and it sold the second time thru on Ebay for around 45k. Somebody got a heck of a deal IMHO. I knew the car before it got the turbos and interior redone.
